Remember that time I asked for evidence that atheists exist?

I used to waste a great deal of time -- a LOT of time -- trying
to raise the level of discourse.

So here's one thread...

https://groups.google.com/g/alt.atheism/c/4-VWXUs18WQ/m/RMa6hdOuBQAJ

And it was simple. It went like this:

Post any evidence you have for the existence of one or more atheists
but, only evidence of a sort that you would accept coming from
anyone else, including a theist.

That's it.

Restricting yourself ONLY to forms of evidence you accept from those
you are arguing against, present evidence for the existence of one
or more atheists.

My point of course was that the only "Evidence" for the existence
of atheists would be personal testimony -- self reports -- and that
is precisely what self-identified atheists EXCLUDE!

It didn't work. Nobody saw their error. Nobody glimpsed themselves
as the rest of the world sees them.

And the real irony here?  Theists aren't limited to self reports.
But they were just as blind to this fact as they were to themselves.
