If the same standard was applicable to "it's raining" and "god exists," we would be able to stick our head out the window, look up, and see both

In the context of the discussion all I am arguing for is that similar claims, should be treated fairly and consistently. I do agree, that where you can physically verify the claim for yourself, then it is good to do so. However for many thing is this large world, we cannot do that with.

Although according to some, in the Witness Evidence thread I started, your observation that it is or is not raining my not be reliable.
