Prove you can.  Supposedly you only see God when you die - that's not a
physical visit.

No no, you changed it around. You said "You can't visit God physically".
Back that up. With replicatable evidence. James wasn't suggesting that you
CAN, he was asking why he should believe you that you CAN'T.

  Just so we're on the same page here, you're asking Tom to prove that you
can't do something, which in this case is impossible for him to do because
there will always be a case of "yeah, but what if..." It is far more
reasonable for a skeptic to ask you to prove that one *can* visit God
physically, since one such visit, if experimentally repeatable, would prove
it possible.
