All your 'God' has to do, aaronsml, to prove we Atheists wrong, is for him to appear in hard, solid, physical form (and that's God himself, not Jesus). Then heal all amputees. And for him to do whatever we Atheists say. In perpetuity.
It's the only possible way that we Atheists will acknowledge the existence of your so-called 'God', aaronmsl.
But if he can't (it's not as if him doing the above would be impossible for him to, amirite?), then it proves he's not omnipotent. Thus he's not God. Therefore he's a contradiction to himself, ergo he doesn't exist. QED. After all, if he can't deviate from, or change his own, 'plan' (we mere mortal humans can change our minds/plans/arrangements at any time after all), then that further proves he's not omnipotent, thus he's not God, therefore he's a contradiction to himself, ergo he doesn't exist. Q.E.D., bitch.
Logic destroys 'faith'. Every time.

"Then why have doctors, or hospitals, or fire departments, or police, or armies ... or anything that might get in the way of god's "plan"?
If you see a 3-year-old about to dart out in front of a bus, just let him. Must be god's plan."
If aaronmsl contracts a very rare disease that results in him experiencing a long, very slow death - say, twenty years; and every nanosecond of those twenty years he suffers more than infinite pain; and medications don't work. The only possible cure is via gene therapy (by a simple procedure: transplantation of bone marrow), and that the only DNA match is that of an Atheist. Should you or I just say 'Fuck him. Let him scream for twenty years. Must be God's plan.'
Amirite, aaronmsl?
>:D
PROTIP: I donate blood. Twice a year. I'm an Atheist. The fact I'm an Atheist must be part of his 'plan'. Thus Roe vs. Wade making abortion legal must be part of his 'plan'. As is everything you fundies object to (Prop. 8 being overturned; DADT's repealment. The list goes on...). Amirite? God made me an Atheist. Who are you to question his will?
Moral: Logic. Can be such a cruel bitch, can she not?
