It works on more problems than just the existence of God. Try the retreat argument on:
___* Squaring the circle.
___* Curing cancer with nothing more than spinach and a bowel-cleansing.
___* Knowing that the child really is yours.
With our patented retreat argument, we guarantee that you'll feel that you're right.

You seem to be sadly mistaken as to what the word \"prove\" means.

Wow, I guess I'm as good as converted now. That was some fine proof right there.

Crying and laughing after singing some songs? Sounds more to me like a lot of people couldn't stay on key and no one knew how else to react.

I spent my teen years in a group like that. Trust me, they know very well how to manipulate adolescent emotional reactions.
You didn't discover that God was real, you were manipulated by people who know exactly how to pull your strings.

And when I eat magic mushrooms, I'm absolutely convinced that musical notation can sing and dance. Doesn't mean it's true!

You had young people, on a retreat. When you heard people crying \"Oh God!\", well, it may not mean what you think it means..

In Canadian indoctrination factori - erm, I mean separate schools - they call it TEC or Teens-Encounter-Christ. It's voluntary. I volunteered when I had lost about 95% of my faith, 17 years old. It uses hand-holding, darkness, candles and surprise. Unmarried men in robes were the highest "authority" present the whole weekend. It uses manipulation of unsure adolescent emotions. I succumbed to the emotion - I still like hand-holding - but not the supernatural fairy-tale. If I organized one of these retreats now at 43 with an agenda to teach pastafarianism, would you let your teen attend?

I am totally positive there is a teapot in orbit of the sun. I know because I went camping once. We talked about some stuff and stuff and had tea and s'mores, and went fishing the next day, and I couldn't focus on fishing at all because I KNEW there was a Magic Teapot. True story.

What Joe said.
And, even if you're completely sure of God, that doesn't mean it's proof for the rest of us.

"I am here to prove that God dose exsist(sic)."
See? If you take a big enough dose, you'll have a religious experience! And you won't be able to spell, ether!

Well, shit... Who needs hard, physical evidence with such a compelling (and obviously completely true) testimony?

So your proof of God is that you believe in God.
Because you went camping.
Oh ho.
