I want you to disprove the existence of the green fairies.
The green fairies make the plants grow and flower.
Of course they are real, if you cannot DIS-PROVE their existence right?
After all, the plants DO grow and they DO flower? Making their existence real?
Now, go ahead and dis-prove their existence. I dare you.
(psst, this is the same circular logic you guys use to "prove" the existence of your imaginary sky-pixie you call god. Not very convincing is it?)

Don't go off your meds again ok?

I can already see the answers.
Good Grief!
How do we know these pixies are green? If they are green does that mean they're visible? If they are visible, I'm afraid I could disprove them. What abilities do they have? I could just place a male and female plant in a secured environment, unable to be entered by pixies, and voila, we know that pixies aren't part of the equation.
Invictus: How about some punctuation, Mr. Intelligent?

What makes Good Grief think s/he can make a pixie-proof environment? S/he obviously has no idea about the magical way the green flower fairies move about and do their work!
I pity the unbeliever.
And Mr A a) There isn't a single reliable eyewitness account of Christ b) the secular accounts were all written decades after Christ's death from the account of others who also heard the stories by hearsay and c) there haven't been any prophesies fulfilled. And according my OUR holy books, there are many eyewitness accounts of the fairies in action. It's in our book!

The problem with your argument is that you don't have history backing you up with green fairies. While you discount the Bible as being false, historical documents prove otherwise. Eyewitness accounts to Christ, as well as secular accounts outside of the Bible. Prophecies also create quite a problem.
With evidences we have, all roads point toward the existence of a God. Not to mention the fact that the impossibility of a big bang resulting in evolution pointing towards a God.
But hey, when you're a skeptic, you use crappy arguments that most Christians are afraid to take a stab at.

There is a children's summer camp for skeptical humanists (Camp Inquiry) that engages in an activity where they try to disprove the existence of unicorns each year. So far they haven't been able to. I imagine it's a great learning tool.

Either we are created or not. I don't know how to calculate the probabilities, but it is one or the other. When we speak of God, we speak of the One who created us (if that Being exists). There is no call to invent green fairies or the FSM.
Atheist Bertram Russell was once asked what he would do if, after he died, he came face to face with God. Russell didn't deny that couldn't happen, in fact, he had a defense ready. He said he would tell God that God hadn't provided sufficient proof of His existence. Russell was quietly using lack of proof of God as an excuse to live his life as he pleased.
I think God would answer Russell such as, "Bertram, if you had wanted to find me, you would have sought me even not knowing whether I existed. Your refusal to seek Me shows that you reject me even not knowing whether I existed".

I am not agreeing with you on this one. The reason is because God is a personal and real and active...
The major difference between this example and God is that although you can see the existance of both the "green faries" and God. God speaks to me and is active in my life... where as the "green faries" are not...

ummm water makes the plants grow. and the water comes from the sky. clouds to be exact. so i think we all know there are not little green fairies considering the fact that you can go into a first grade class and learn how a flower grows. it's called photosynthesis. not green fairies. you need a stronger case than that.

I've known some gay man that have been excellent gardeners. Does that make them green thumb fairies?

None of this is a guarantor of truth.
I believe in a lot of things, but believing in fairies, unicorns or anything else doesn’t make them so.

you forgot to tell them that when they disprove the fairies that the proof of god's existance will finally be revealed! (that will get them working on it!)
edit: lol @ grannyannie i think she kind of missed the point
