Long story short, do not insult people.

Aside from that, here's what think..
Jesus was one man, more than likely fictional at that, and by no means the son of a god. The bible is nothing more than a crutch for the weak created by man and support for those who cant see things as they really are.

My mind is open, in fact, your mind is so closed that you can't see it.
Tell me something, if God didn't fail man, where was He when those little kids were getting abused?
~ Long deafening Silence ~
Yeah, that's what I thought. Same place he is everytime some horrific event takes place.
NOWHERE!

Christians always want it both ways, and that's the hypocrisy that stinks so bad.
When things are good and everything goes well, it's "Oh praise God, Thank you Jesus, Amen! Hallelujah!!", as you guys are all high-fiving each other and giving thanks.
As soon as things go bad, the canned reply comes out.
"Hm, well, er, clears throat" "Free will, blah blah, man screwed up, not God"
Consider this if you will:
Anytime something bad happens, you blame man, fair enough, but anytime something good happens, it's always because of God, if it's such a one-way street with God, what's the point?
For the amount of good He does, you might as well worship a goldfish in a clear plastic bag for all the good it will do; at least the goldfish is real.
As a sign of respect, I spelled "he" with a capital H just for you Chris ~ I just want to make sure I get credit for that.
Seriously. give me a few good things God has done for the world, something the least bit verifiable and not a figment of your imagination.
From my POV, I don't see anything, as a matter of fact, just to give you an insight into a non-believer like me, open the bible to any page, and anywhere it says God, or He, or Him, replace that with "The Easter Bunny, Santa, or The Tooth Fairy" and you will see how absurd it looks to guys like me.
You know what? Allow me to do it for you.
Here's some bible quotes that some of you like to paste, I'm just randomly going to find some, just a sec until I dig something up...BRB
Ok, here we go...
Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning SANTA created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of The Easter Bunny was hovering over the waters.
3 And Harry Potter said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 Bugs Bunny saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 Santa called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Do you see how silly it looks now?

That deserves an award for great one-line answers.
I laughed for 5 minutes when I read it.
Awesome zeruin.

Well Ok, I'll requote Habibi's question from his post to you again as you fail to see that it exists.
Can you see that? ^^^^^^^ Does it exist?
As to your second statement
And here we have completed the circle again. Show us Agnostics that God exists.
Fairy stories, beautiful sunsets and complex physics that you fail to understand does not count as proof.
I think what we (on my side of the fence) are looking for is an explanation of Faith.
Sure, it's a great concept. Heaven, fluffy clouds, choirs of angels, get to meet my old grandpa again and we would all like to think it's real.
But it's no more real than Santa or the Easter Bunny however much we wish it.
