If theists understood "evidence"

[Fidel_Castronaut]

There’s nothing senseless in attacking Christianity. It’s an idea like everything else, so as a result is (and should be) subject to criticism and critiques. Beliefs aren’t sacred.

So no. Any attempt to make a belief subject to PD will be given a physical turd by me to hold whilst they contribute to the forum.

I for one don’t think it’s a lack of critical thinking or lack of education or intelligence. What I do think is that often it’s a cognitive dissonance. People are sceptical (usually) of claims made by people in most instances (such as a stranger asking you to give her $100 to double your money in a week! But you just have to believe that she’ll do it.). This same scepticism doesn’t appear to extend to extraordinary religious claims, though.

Reasonable criticism and critique.  Sure! I think that Christianity has certainly been and should be investigated.   However; double standards and hyper-skepticism no.

Also, I wouldn't recommend your approach described either.

Diddums. You’re not in a position, either here or real life, to dictate to people how you think your beliefs should be viewed and criticised, or indeed carve out what you think is ‘reasonable’. Not unless you want to live a society entirely comprised of you. If that floats your boat, then feel free to set sail.

Also, hyper skepticism.
