Besides, that's only one example I offered. Everyone having the exact same dream of meeting/talking to God on the same night and waking up and reporting the same experience would work just as well.

Impractical then, but the main thing is that you don't seem to realise the sheer egotism and self-importance of your ridiculous demand!

There is nothing egotistical about wanting unambiguous evidence for everyone rather than the entirely ambiguous "personal" evidence that SOME people experience and others don't. In fact, the people who claim they know because of ambiguous personal experiences and that everyone else is wrong are the real egotists.

Non-wealthy first world males may be atheist, but they are not the ones who spend their time 24/7 on message boards harassing theists. Working class people have better things to do, such as working or looking after their families if they have them.

Nonsense. You do realize that many "working class" people can post on message boards from their work and all of them can post in their spare time, don't you?

As for your dream idea, don't be ridiculous! You'd all have great fun with that, claiming that anyone who reported such a dream was mentally ill, or as Stanton would say a "fundy huckster".

If everyone had the same dream then anyone claiming others were mentally ill for admitting it would also be claiming it about themselves.
