Jesus Christ proved that he was God and that his gospel is true and that it may be acquired precisely as Christ and the saints of all ages have witnessed. I was visited of God who wrought a new creation upon my whole heart, might, mind and strength. I was TRULY born of God. This event occured on or near the 20th of January, 1970 in the upper room of this house that rented out rooms at the time on Gardner Street just off Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.

I know, never said contrary. I don't know what your referring to though.. was it when I said to prove my God (in the person Jesus) exists. Someone said they could prove my God doesn't "exist" So I said go for it. Prove Jesus doesn't exist. Just a play on words.

It's a synergistic process between experience (meeting a person of the opposite or same sex who is attractive to you, or having kids) and chemicals. And that's it. And yes, I do know that.
And....no you don't. Your logic and conclusions are flawed.

What's perverted is religious people thinking there is something wrong with that. We are 100% physical beings. It's no surprise that there is a physical explanation for our feelings.
To make this claim, you have to prove that we are not also spirit. Which, of course, you can't do.

There's also evidence that Paul Newman existed. Does that constitute evidence that Paul Newman is god?

no no no..(mormonx presses his index finger gently on Buffalo's lips) you had me at "there are evidences" that's all I wanted to hear your lips whisper.
