The God of Convenience

[Thumpalumpacus]

That -we- can experience? Nope.

So if someone tells you that he has experienced God and can't give you any scientific evidence for it, that's the end of it for you?

If someone tells you they rode dragons with F'lar during Threadfall, do you seek a reasonable explanation, or do you write the idea off?

I cannot remember who it was who wrote this, but it's pertinent here:

Once you understand why you don't believe in Zeus, you'll understand why I don't believe in your god.

Personal experience is subject to misperception, effects of fatigue and drugs, and simple dishonesty. Skepticism should be applied in direct proportion to the exotic nature of the claim. That means that god-claims must meet very high bars.
