The nature of evidence
RE: The nature of evidence
(May 4, 2016 at 2:34 am)robvalue Wrote: One last thing before I go blow up some tanks:

If the nature of your claim is such that there cannot be any proper, convincing evidence for it, then that is a problem with the claim. That's not to say it isn't true, but it should make you stop and consider why you even believe it yourself.

It is not a problem with/for the person you're telling the claim to. Nor is it reasonable to expect them to believe it based on whatever extremely weak evidence you present, because your claim is "special".

Rob... what tanks game do you play? I'm a regular on World of Tanks on XBox One.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
