Eris: If you can't come up with something better than this garbage - no one
is going to debate with you - because apparently you haven't learned how to
debate what you believe.
Go back and apologize to Neil and ask for his help in learning how to

Oh Muhammad existed - about 500 to 600 AD -- how about that?

That is correct.
No, it cannot. The US govt. is not a god.
I don't "reject" gods, I just don't believe in them. However, I do
believe in the US government.
Look, dude, your entire argument is silly. You're pretending that

I'm not going to hell -- I have heaven now - because of the *down-payment*
of my future inheritance. And it is wonderful, marvelous, matchless Amazing

Not at all. I simply recognize that there may be convincing evidence

light of all the available evidence, that the existence of the Christian
God is highly improbable.
