That's okay. What you lack in hard evidence you make up for in faith .. and you wear it well.
Yeah, there is no hard evidence for the supernatural that can be presented, tested, experimented, etc. That's kind of the whole point of the supernatural - if it does exist, it is beyond our natural, physical world and cant be "proven".
We come to our beliefs based on conjecture, educated guesses, maybe some personal experience if we've been lucky enough to have one, and lastly hope.

That doesn't mean the conversation isn't worth having, and looking at any miracle claim and the evidence for/against it is usually productive and interesting for both parties...providing they're as reasonable as CL. Don't try that shit with Drich or Rik.
Yet, at the same time she expects us to accept her miracle claims as evidence for her religion, solely on the basis that she believes, somewhere, somewhen, miracles actually happens.
Where did I do that? You sure you're not the delusional one?

Quote:Not that she at no point gives any evidence for miracles, that at no point gives a rationale for believing their existence, simply because as she believes, they must surely exist.
Oh, and PS when I point this out, she gets all condescending and dismissive, not willing to acknowledge her lack of standing for her position, just deflecting from it.
Boi, you silly. You sooo silly. For real.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
