I'd come nearer to believin the alien segment above as plausible.

I've been goin at it hammer and tong with theists for the past 2 days on another forum and here's some of their best:

"All things are possible to God. Even atheists."

"Read the Bible and try to disprove anything in it. I mean REALLY disprove it by history or science or whatever, you can't do it because it is the truth."

"It’s interesting and informative to read the anti-religion comments. Proves the Bible is correct. You can’t think your way in, and there are goats." followed by -> "No one can think their way in (i.e. by their intellectual ability), because, “it is by grace you are saved and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God”."

"I am a believer and a Christian.If I am wrong then I and the unbeliever are both OK.On the other hand if I am right and the unbeliever is wrong, then the unbeliever has a really bit problem.Since it costs me nothing to be a believer and gives me a lot of satisfaction to live the best life I can,I prefer to take that course."

"For those pointing to belief in a Creator as irrational/superstitious, I would point out as the greatest evidence, you yourself. The fact that you are conscious and can reason testifies to Divine intervention."

"it helps if you can manage to look down your nose at people who believe in things they can't reproduce in a laboratory - like EVERYTHING that must be true if atheism is true. Double bonus points if you can rationalize away the irony of that."

And lastly: "Life is full or choices. Eternal Life has two. Heaven or Hell!!"

For myself, until any religion can lay claim to 100% verifiable proof to support it by any means besides personal faith alone, I'll never be swayed to believe in any of it
