Well, well. If it isn't Probably. How has Probably been lately? 
That's all you've got? Did you write this before recess, or after?
I love that webcite Infidels.com. I mean, talk about theory and probably after theory and probably.  
Unless you're dealing with mathematics, theory and probability are all we have in the world of empirical evidence. What you seem not to realize is that 99.9999% is still classified as a probability.
Facts? You don't present facts my friend. 
For at least the third time: my document includes over 100 facts about your scriptures, citing chapter and verse. I've defied you to rebut a single one, but you're incapable of doing so. Your polemical impotence is astonishing.
I'm talking to a Liberal who of course believes people aren't responsible for their own actions. 
LOL. You just don't ever get tired of being wrong, do you? As I explain in my book (http://humanknowledge.net/Thoughts.html#Volition), I of course believe that mentally competent adults are responsible for their own actions. Your behavior suggests that you are exempt from responsibility on at least one of those criteria....
I have been waiting weeks for you to disprove the bible and Christianity as a myth.  
I already told you, it's not a myth. Keep re-reading the previous sentence until comprehension starts to sink in.
I have checked your webcites, and didn't see much but theories. 
Anything that is not a mathematical proof or a direct personal experience could be called a "theory".  When you  without argument dismiss an explanation as a mere "theory" merely because it contradicts what your mommy and daddy raised you to believe, you announce yourself to the world as childishly irrational. Congratulations, I'm sure they're proud.
Where are you from? California is my bet,   
As it plainly states on my home page, I indeed live in California, but it's more accurate to say I'm "from" Mississippi.
home of the mongoliods.
Only a buffoon would mis-spell a word when attempting to insult someone's intelligence.
So, how about instead of pasting bs webcites, you type something yourself, unless you aren't educated. 
Your ignorance knows no bounds. I already told you that I wrote this document:  http://humanknowledge.net/Philosophy/Metaphysics/Theology/Christianity.html.  Every time you email me without attempting to rebut so much as a sentence from it, you tacitly admit the overwhelming power of my case. Once you've read it, you can't escape it. For the rest of your life, somewhere deep inside you'll know that there exist dispositive arguments against your faith.
 
You can feel the doubts right now, can't you? You can try to push them back down, but they'll always come back to the surface. Maybe next week, maybe next year, but I hope not on your deathbed. No being on the brink of oblivion deserves to have as his final thought such a terrible realization that his life was misguided.
 
P.S. This is your tenth email to me, in all of which you've only attempted to cite one fact (about martyred apostles, which you got wrong.)  Humiliating you for your childishness and vacuousness has now become a very low priority for me, so if your next response is similarly content-free, then I'll write up my usual eviscerating reply, but not send it for a month or so.
 
In the meantime, thank you for educating me about the sort of willful irrationality that I always suspected had to be involved in the maintenance of the mind-virus that is Christianity. I doubt I will ever find a better example of someone who is so intentionally and tenaciously dismissive of evidence and rational argument as you. Your willingness to be a defenseless punching bag for atheist polemics is quite extraordinary, and you can expect to see this conversation referenced for decades to come in discussions of polemical masochism.  Again, thank you.
