In a deposition submitted under oath, Mark Bloss said:

    Not to mention illogical.  Occam's Razor cuts toward the existence
 of a creator god, in my mind.  But barely.
 MB>  RT>> Indeed. If as you say your god is so honest then why is it so
 MB> elusive  RT>> and totally unevidenced?
 MB>  Because it takes faith to believe in Him, and to evidence Himself

 MB> not need  faith to believe in Him.
    But I evidence myself all the time before people I live with, work
 with or otherwise interact with on a daily basis, but I don't do it
 because I must prove myself.  Why is God different?
 MB> If He proved Himself so that faith is not
 MB>  required to believe in Him, then His purpose for me is diminished,
 MB> ie,  I do not develop faith, which is an attribute _of_ God.
    If faith is an attribute of God, what does God need with faith?
 What would He possibly need to have faith _in_?
 RT> Please provide evidence of your god.
 MB>  I just did.  He exists because it would be impossible for my limited
 MB>  imagination to understand a universe _without_ God.
    You probably meant to say that "You believe He exists because...,"
 right?  God's existence/nonexistence does not hinge upon the strength
 of anyone's imagination, but you knew that, I'll bet.
... And trouthe thee shal delivere, it is no drede.
