See how easy that was?

You don't know if you believe him or not? Remarkable.

Only idiots jump to conclusions when provided little information...

Well, it would be tiring to care if this was happening, anyway.

I was a Hindu, and Kali was my god, but I never felt watched or gave it much thought. I think that's more an intellectual idea than something believers actually experience.

Not really. It tends to be rather widespread. But it's nice to know where your priorities lie.

If you don't know if you believe someone, you don't believe them, 'genius'.

I'd need more info before I'd call someone a liar, it's called 'giving someone the benefit of the doubt'...

Dummy.

How do words even work? What's it mean?

The benefit of doubt is what is keeping mankind as prey to con men talking about god. A cathegory you belong huggy. So no to that giving the benefit of doubt.

If you don't hold his story to be true, you don't believe him, because of what the word 'believe' means. It's a mental state of holding something to be true. If you're not in a mental state of belief regarding something, you don't believe it. It's called 'understanding how words work'.

According to the patients testimony, she was outside her body and able to observe the surgery and  recount conversation between the staff, this is DURING the time the brain was not functioning as corroborated by the surgical staff.

I've been through this case with a Mormon user a while back. I took the time to read several things he/she submitted as evidence. Nothing was conclusive.

This is the thread if you are interested.

This is a sceptical website's examination of Reynold's case.

I think this boils down to what you find personally convincing, Huggy. Some people are convinced that aliens are visiting our planet after seeing a photo of a blurry dot. Not me. I need something more substantial to conclude that an extraordinary thing has happened.

No, it's taking the position of not believing them. Not everything is binary.
