Your God is supposed to be a person, yet no-one in over 2,000 years has ever seen him.
Wrong, on two counts, Owl. Even if Jesus was born in 7BC, as some scholars suggest, or the more probable 4BC, he lived until he was about 33. So, that would mean he was crucified in the spring of either 26 or 29AD. We therefore have another 9.5 or 12.5 years before we can say that no-one has seen him for over 2000 years.
Secondly, he was born a human being in either 7 or 4BC, was crucified in spring 26 or 29AD and ascended to heaven about a month and a half after that, at which point his sojourn in human form came to an end. However, millions of people have seen him in the intervening years - in the same way that millions have seen Mahatma Gandhi, William Wilberforce, Rabindranath Tagore or William Wallace - in the sense that they have been inspired by said people's writings/actions/beliefs. One doesn't have to see people face to face to want to follow the cause that they set up/espoused/etc.
Every other person who has ever lived had been seen by at least one other person.
There would appear to be a fair body of independent witness evidence that Jesus lived and taught, Owl. Maybe not as many people saw him as have seen - say - Richard Dawkins, but then does the fact that hundreds have seen RD in the flesh and millions have seen him 'virtually' make what he says any more valid than someone who was only seen by several thousand?
Thus there is physical proof that each and every one of those other people has existed; contrary to your God which no-one has ever seen.
The burden of proof therefore is on you not us!
The physical proof is available to all to look at, Owl. Are you really sure that you want to carry on pointing out how little you know. The important issue is whether Jesus was God, as he himself claimed, or not.
But please don't bother to try - your fellow Christians have been dodging this challenge all the way back to the old Beeb R and E forum, so most on here have heard all the excuses, prevarications, and fallacious arguments a hundred times before. Both your question and lack of an answer to my question have rendered such conversations about three-hundred miles west of boring to the point of causing suicides so don't bother.
Wasn't on the old Beeb R&E forum very often, Owl, but no-one dodged the challenge; if anything they pointed out the historical and physical facts on a number of occasions that I saw, only to be ignored in much the same way that Floo ignores responses she doesn't like and re-starts debates in new threads every so often.
