The Impossible Task

As many religious apologists and fundamentalist types love to get in your face and preach as though their god is most definitely real, I have concocted a task for them to perform. It is most likely not an original concept, this task, but it is how I have framed it.

I present to you, "The Impossible Task."

I do realize some day in the future it may be more proper to dub this "The Improbable Task," however, not only does that name not have the same zing to it, but by today's abilities and technology, I am willing to venture it most definitely is an impossible task.

Regarding the use of the word God, while it does imply the Christian god, the challenge goes out to all religious individuals who claim their god is real, yet never offer anything of substance to verify or support their claims.

Failure to achieve this task means that you do not have any ground to stand on when making claims about morality, the afterlife, the "one true religion," the nature of reality, or any god. After all, if you cannot prove your god is real empirically, then you cannot prove the rest of the religion based on your god is valid either. As such, if you cannot accomplish this task, keep your religion to yourself.
