"God" is a proper name, like Zeus, like Poseidon. I once read an atheist blogger who remarked that "to leave it uncapitalized is (a) a grammatical error, and (b) a juvenile attempt to offend those whose opinions we do not value anyway."

You might be able to persuade reasonable men that Tebow is wrong. But when you try to persuade a reasonable man that Tebow is irrational to follow Jesus, you're signing a losing debate proposition.
The world has judged Jesus to be an interesting and substantive religious teacher, worthy of fair-minded investigation. You don't get to come along and say the world is wrong, because Steen has spoken.
It's rare that you can prove your opponents to be ridiculous. Sometimes, if you are carefully prepared, you can prove that their views are unlikely.
