If God were real, you wouldn’t need a book

The reason we will never agree is you have this belief:
"Are you saying there is enough evidence that gods do not exist..."

That's not how evidence and proof works. I don't believe, and neither do you, extraordinary claims until there is sufficient evidence it's NOT true or DOESN'T exist.

Attempted negative proof fallacy.
You can't make any evidence just disappear, Void. Argument of the Stone fallacy.

This part is not true. A moral is what determines what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'.

And it involves some measure of selfless self sacrifice.

Not necessarily.

For example, you have never once in your life lifted a finger to volunteer at a food pantry, you've never been involved in helping the homeless, you've never volunteered to mentor to an at-risk teen. You've probably never contributed a generous amount of $$$ to NGOs helping Gazans or Ukrainians.

Omniscience fallacy. You have no idea of his history in these areas.

This seems to be your go to phrase when you have nothing else to say. You've lost the argument.

It's my go-to phrase when you ask questions, or make statements, I've replied to repeatedly or when you are feigning confusion, like recently when you pretend my French fry comment was actually about potatoes or French fries
