Then you said in the OP that testimony will be considered evidence for religions, which i'm pretty sure is special pleading.
Testimony is an assertion of fact. If you believe the person you accept the content of the testimony as fact. If you accept someone's testimony as fact, you have evidence to support a conclusion.
lol, what?! What the hell kind of logic is that? You know that isn't remotely true, Steve. So, if I accept the testimony of the folks who believe the Mandela effect is caused by parallel universes overlapping with ours, then I have evidence that supports that conclusion? This is low even for you. Is there a reason you skipped over responding to me, btw? Just curious.
Once again, Steve has done a fine job of arguing himself over to the opposing position, lol.
