You STILL don't get it! Magnetism exists because it was the name given to 
certain effects that were observed and then quantified.

You STILL don't get it! Atheists don't 'want to "test out" God". They 
simply ask that those who ram it in our faces either put up or shut up.

If you think that this "God" (whatever that is) exists then why don't you 
give a coherent definition and evidence for it?

At the moment there seems to be no observed effect that has been given 
the name "God".

Finally, don't sermonise about your god and his alleged son on 
alt.atheism. It tends to annoy the natives because it shows you aren't 
interested in serious discussion. It also shows that you haven't got any 
rational argument otherwise you would already have used it. So you 
sermonise instead.
