Having said that, I'll issue a challenge. It's really simple. Christians, you and God have a pow-wow, or whatever you do when you and God get together. Explain to God that you've got the perfect plan to convert all the atheists in the world to Christianity. If you get the go ahead, here's the challenge.
You submit your real identity to RRS and let us do a full background check on you so that we know your education, travel history, etc... We'll decide, in secret, on an obscure language that you'd have no way of knowing. We'll get someone who speaks that language, and put the two of you in a room. (We won't tell you what language it is. God knows already.)
You pray to god. We'll give you a couple of hours. Within that time, you carry on a full conversation with the other person in their language. We'll submit the tape to the experts. If you truly spoke in a language you couldn't possibly know, that would convince me that your god is a badass.
Never Mind, trust to chance -- keep a sharp look out -- There is many a happy slave.
