Quote:Just, yanno, to add to the challenge.
SECOND:There is a way to prove it.
KIKI: Then prove it.
I was going to go into a whole long disquisition about hypothesis testing and repeatability, but that would be way beyond SECOND's mental capacity and this challenge is more at SECOND's level.

It takes no effort, no faith, no nothing to disbelieve in Trump, yet some are 100% certain he will be reelected.

Since you haven't and will never disprove the existence of God, I'm wondering then if your mind will at least be open to the possibility that he exists when I'm right (again) and Trump wins (again).
Keep in mind that last time I was the only person here saying that he was going to win, and you didn't find too many in the actual real world who thought so.
A lot has changed.
I made that prediction back when I was piss drunk 24/7.
I'm also hardly alone when making that prediction again for November.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Time to disappoint Jack: you got lucky. Plain and simple. Being piss drunk only adds to the fact that your choice wasn't an intellectual one - just a wild ass guess, not unlike most of your "thinking." You had 2 choices to get it right - you could have flipped a coin. Calling heads doesn't make you smart.

Quote:Disproving God's existence changes nothing. It is not worth doing. Where humans are right now, this very second, is where God is either on a million year long unscheduled vacation, or God prematurely retired, or God is dead. But if God suddenly woke up from his napping on the job, it would make life very interesting for humans and very easy to prove God exists. Some examples of proof:

“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
— Donald Trump
If Covid-19 disappears, that is proof God exists. God is back from his vacation!
“I resign. Mike Pence is now President.”
— Donald Trump
That is proof God exists. God is reading the news and picked up the phone and called Trump.
Quotes that suggest Trump is passively leaving his work to be done by God’s hands are in the article: ‘It’s going to disappear’: Trump’s changing tone on coronavirus

You're going to have to define exactly what you think God's "job" is.
You sound like a whiny angsty teen now. Maybe an emo rock song. Please, don't cut yourself.

No. That would not be proof that God exists.

How many football players do you suppose have prayed to God before a game that they play well and they win the game? How many football fans have prayed that their team plays well and wins the game, for that matter?
Both teams can't win. God can't be everything to everyone at all times.
This is exactly what your examples are. Subjective crap.
And if we're going to be leaving the decision up to God to make the winning team the one who prayed the hardest, I hate to break it to you... it won't be Biden winning in November. (Which is what is going to happen anyhow, but it has nothing to do with prayer).

Uhhhhh.... no. I did a lot of research and polling methodologies were severely flawed and skewed in favor of Clinton. Particularly in battleground states like Florida. According to the odds-makers like Nate Silver, a Trump win was more like having one face that said Trump on a 10 sided die and Clinton's name on the other 9 sides. It's what lead up to the absolute shock and horror you saw from Clinton fans, yanno, with all the screaming and crying in the streets and online, followed by weeks of protesting "not my president" and "Fuck Trump", followed by years of TDS and the Legacy Media putting out anti-Trump stories every single day to the point where nobody except for the cry babies even pay attention to them anymore.
It wasn't a guess. It was a confident statement in spite of everyone else telling me that I was wrong. It was easy to see who was going to win if you looked beneath the Legacy Media lies.
Feel free to go back and look at my posts on the topic around that time.

Quote:You have confused a coin toss with a miracle. Pray for heads or pray for tails. Whatever comes up proves nothing about God, but if the flipped silver dollar lands as a bag full of gold doubloons, that is proof God exists. Or if an egomaniac resigns with grace from the Presidency because he is inadequate handling Covid-19, that is proof.

British medical journal The Lancet says Americans should oust President Trump from the White House and elect a leader who will support – rather than undermine – public health experts who are battling the COVID-19 pandemic. If God exists, he would act.
www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31140-5/ful
ltext
The Administration is obsessed with magic bullets—vaccines, new medicines, or a hope that the virus will simply disappear. But only a steadfast reliance on basic public health principles, like test, trace, and isolate, will see the emergency brought to an end, and this requires an effective national public health agency. (God or) Americans must put a president in the White House come January, 2021, who will understand that public health should not be guided by partisan politics.

This is the fundamental misunderstanding that confuses all discussions of God's existence. How would I, or anyone, prove that Signym and 1kiki are Americans, not Russian trolls? It can't be done. That would be Signym and 1kiki who have to prove it because of the anonymizing of fireflyfans.net. Because of the structure of the entire Universe, God is being anonymized just the same way as are Signym and 1kiki. It is not for us to prove God's existence. God will have to step forward, and do it often, to halt all this idle chit-chat about God's existence. Otherwise, God doesn't exist as the Alpha/Omega, and Signym and 1kiki don't exist as more than Russian Trolls. At that point the question gets more interesting: why does God not step forward? Privacy concerns? Oh, please. Is God in a contest with Satan and the rules are God can't step forward until the game is over? Oh, that would be fun, but kind of unlikely. I'd like to see the winner receive the game-prize before Covid-19 kills me! The Encyclopedia says that God will win, but doesn't say when or what the prize is:
