The atheist says God doesn't exist, so it's up to him to prove it. I am not obligated to prove anything to the atheist. Show me JUST ONE sentence in the Bible that is in error about Jesus raising the dead, healing the sick and crippled... Show me that and we'll talk.

There are literally thousands of doctrines and million possible combinations, all of which are unsupported, unproven and absurd. So, it seems you have to lift, let's see, about 10 tons.
No, you moron, atheists say there is no evidence that God exist!
Believers say God exist, therefore, it is up to the believer to prove God exist.
Our job, as atheists, is to poke your theories full of holes and then make fun of you.
The dead stay dead. Exhibits A,B,C,...ad libitum:
all dead people who ever died, + all we know about human life and life in general.
According to the synoptic gospels, the healings of Jesus came about because the person being healed had faith in him. In John, healing took place as a "sign" to convince the faithless. So was faith necessary for healing, or were the healings done to promote faith?
I am sure you have a stack of apologetics to explain this contradiction (and yes, it IS a contradiction). My point is, there is nothing in the bible itself to explain it. While this assertion does not prove the non-existence of god or Jesus, it does indicate that you bible is a pretty poor source of information on said characters.
“The atheist says God doesn't exist,”
No, I say that no arguments for any of the gods are convincing.
“so it's up to him to prove it.”
No, not really.
“ I am not obligated to prove anything to the atheist.”
No, you’re not.
Unless you want your superstition legislated, or taught in schools as real, or useful as an exemption to certain laws, or a basis for discrimination.
Other than that, I really couldn’t care much less.
“Show me JUST ONE sentence in the Bible that is in error about Jesus raising the dead, healing the sick and crippled...”
We don’t know who wrote those gospels, though. Sure, names are assigned, but they were written long after the supposed events. So, really, I see NO reason to think that they’re eyewitness testimony or even based on reality.
Try again.
“Show me that and we'll talk”
This is pretty much my reason for atheism. No one can show me any reason to accept gods.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
