Notice what's happening here, dear observer... Firsts it's implied I refuse to see, then it's implied I have on blinders (blinkers), and now there's an implication I can't see at all.
Christian apologetics, indeed, their holy text, is chock full of insults and slanders against anyone who rejects Christian belief. Let this guide you when considering their 'debate' throughout this site, and just in general.

Post #50Santa can be seen in malls across the land, that don't mean there's a magic man with magic reindeer. Mother Goose can be seen illustrated in countless books, that don't mean there's a talking goose. Visual (and audible) hallucinations're well documented.
We're being told a god exists, and that you can see him (or effects thereof). And I say we, us humans, have been known to see a bunch of stuff that doesn't exist.
I don't imply folks refuse to see that which can't be shown.
I don't imply folks have blinders (blinkers) on.
I don't imply folks don't have eyes.
I merely pointed out then, as I do now - folks're known, and documented, to report seeing things that can only be shown to be a product of their imagination.
I might be Teddy Roosevelt, but I ain't.
