Point one: the video explains the importance of critical thinking and openmindedness vs gullibility, not how two people can interpret the same things differently. Point two: I have no interest in your witnesses nor have I asked about them. What you choose to present here is entirely up to you, however your reluctance to provide anything that can actually be examined and considered demonstrates exactly the point I was making about being defensive about treasured beliefs, however erroneous, unjustified or irrational those beliefs may be. Point three: I have no demons with which to conduct your experiment nor a belief that such entities exist in reality. The same goes for Jesus.
I hope you don't take undue offense at what I'm about to say, it is just my personal opinion, but I am going to back away from this thread now and place you onto my ignore list. No acrimony, no rage, no deliberately insulting triumphalism; it's just that I don't believe you are entirely rational and you're making me uncomfortable.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
