Who Has the Burden of Proof?
#5
RE: Who Has the Burden of Proof?
How long do you think it would take me to disprove every supernatural creature that I don't believe exists? How much effort do I need to spend before it becomes ridiculous? I'm pretty sure the main reason most people believe in their god, while disbelieving other gods is "because my holy book says so", not because they thoroughly researched every active, and probably inactive, religion in history, and came to the educated comclusion that the version of the religion that their parents taught them happened to be the right one. Though I'm sure there could be exceptions.

Not to mention all the other non deity supernatural creatures and aliens and whatnot that people will fervently claim exist. Honestly i don't think I have the time or energy for that. People have been debating this topic for thousands of years, and the only thing that's happened is separation and wars, and from what I've heard christianity is actually dying off. Though for some reason islam seems to be growing. Take that as you will.
