cksquare··on What if I’m wrong? (2023)
"Unicorns exist" and "unicorns don't exist" are not factual statements, they are premises. Establishing the truth or falsehood of either has nothing to do with my opinion of the existence of unicorns--unicorns would not exist in spite of my fervent desire for them to be real, or if I just happened to think they were really cool.

Assuming that you believe in the miracles of the old and new testaments, how would such things be proven false? For them to be positive evidence for the existence of God, we should at least be able to imagine how we'd go about refuting them.

This is the tired kind of equivocating that's used by lazy Christians to claim atheism is a discrete and well-formed ideology. Atheism is just that, a-theism, a rejection of the notion of a supernatural dimension occupied by 'personal' god(s).

What evidence (or counter-evidence) do you suggest I present to show that my disbelief in Thor or Odin is wrong?

Read Frank Dikotters 'Tragedy of Liberation' and you might have second thoughts. There is a sizable historical precedent--with measured success--for these kinds of indoctrination tactics in China.
