What would it take for me to believe in the god Thor? Seriously? That's easy. A being matching the exact description of Thor would need to appear before me, wielding his magical hammer, and demonstrate all the powers as described in the Greek texts. If that happened I would believe in the god called Thor.
I guess we're about to find out if that was a leading/trap question.
If it was, don't bother going down that road because I won't respond, as it's an exercise in completely wasteful, hypothetical stuff that neither one of us has any stake or belief in.
I am not surprised that you will not respond given that your erroneous conclusions have been exposed. In this you are not unlike several other theists on this forum whose stock response to being caught out is to refuse to respond. Openness and honesty are a lot rarer amongst theists than atheists in my experience.

But as I pointed out several times, that is not the question. I think you are being somewhat dishonest by playing with two very distinct questions then trying to pretend that the lack of answers to one is equivalent to a lack of answers to the other. Note that you too totally failed to answer the question with regards to Thor.
No one said those exact words, nor do I claim such. The only people willing to give a response, are like those above, saying they can't answer the question. It's only logical to assume they can't answer because they can't think of anything that would satisfy their requirement to believe.

Originally posted by twhiteheadThere is no Thor. So the question in regard to Thor is ridiculous and unimportant. 😏

Hmm I see. But which chess engine are you using now?

Originally posted by RJHindsIt would be slanderous to accuse you of engine use had your cheating not already been demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt. Now you are actually slandering me by implying that I am slandering you. So which engine is it?

Originally posted by avalanchethecatOhh, I did not realize that it had been demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt. So that changes you from a slanderous accuser to a wonderful fellow. How dumb of me not to realize that. 😲
