[When asking why the creation gods of other religions were false.]
How do you know what they found? IF they found a creator god, it is false. Do you not think it is logical to question one's beliefs in order to prove their validity. If I tell you the sky is green, will you take my word for it or will you go look for yourself? One must test his or her beliefs.

What? If they -actually found- a god it's not a true one? How does that work exactly?
It is indeed logical to question one's beliefs, but if the goal is to prove their validity, one is not going to do anything through this questioning except confirm what they believe, whether they're valid or not.
In any case, there's as much evidence for their gods as there is for yours.
And if I tell you that insects have 4 legs, that you can drink poison and it wont hurt you, and that unicorns exist, are you going to take my word for it?
wasn't there someone once who said something about removing beams from your own eye before worrying about other people's splinters...?
how about you test your own beliefs first before you worry about other people's beliefs?
"Why are the creation gods of other religions false?"
"IF they found a creator god, it is false."
"Oh, because you said so. OK, that proves it for me!" [sarcasm]

If they found a creator god, by definition it would be factual, as it had been found. Moron.
Do you not think it is logical to question one's beliefs in order to prove their validity.
Of course. Have you questioned yours? Somehow I doubt it.
If I tell you the sky is green, will you take my word for it or will you go look for yourself?
I don't need to, I've seen it for myself already.
One must test his or her beliefs.
Now do you plan on acting upon your own advice, or is this another case of 'Do as I say not as I do'?
What evidence did they have for their God? They did not/ would not have any.
What evidence do you have for your god? A book that says it (the book) is true? Gonna have to do better.
If they actually found a god, it is a true one (by the reflexive property) and atheism will gladly yield to your experimental verification of an actual deity. All you have to do is show us one. Have it come down to the lab. We'll say, "You know, I don't think that's a god," and then it will cause a spring to well up from the ground on that very spot, or turn stone into bread, or cure a terminally ill patient, or provide an elegant solution to Fermat's Last Theorem, or a polynomial solution to the Traveling Salesman Problem, and we'll go, "You know, maybe it IS a god! Can it do it again?" And each time it does it again we'll be increasingly sure it's a god, until the Theory of Godliness is enshrined as highly in our esteems as the Theory of Gravitation, or perhaps even HIGHER if negating the law of gravitation is within the deity's power.
No seriously, we would LOVE to have that happen. It would enrich our understanding of the universe so much. PLEASE bring your god down to show it to us. We're dying to see it.
So... close... to reality.
So tantalisingly close, and yet so, so far.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
