Actually, yeah, you can assign metrics to love. We do it all of the time. If we had to exercise psychic powers to determine whether or not we were loved by our spouse, our parents, our children or our friends we'd all feel pretty damned lonely. Everyone assigns different metrics, it's very subjective, but I haven't heard anyone claiming that love was anything other than a human emotion, so I don't worry about that.
Personal testimony, really? What of the personal testimonies of everyone who has ever believed in any other god? Why are their testimonies insufficient? Face it, you don't buy personal testimony any more than I do.
The tangibles we do have are the mountain of gods and godlings from different cultures and times. Libraries full of narratives each no more or less believable than the next. When you can field a competent explanation for your lack of belief in those gods you shouldn't have any trouble understanding why I don't buy into yours.
I have considered, this is why I have no such beliefs. You're late to this party Carn. I could be shown a god, and this I wouldn't mind, but it still wouldn't make me a christian. It's a point of curiosity for me, not a faith-shopping expedition. You're suggesting that I should side with superstition over biology. That's not likely to happen. At least respect the work of the creator you imagine there to be enough to avoid being a complete imbecile. Apparently, you'd rather it had been magic words than some scary thing you don't understand. If god didn't do it the way you think he did he didn't do it at all. I'm going to have to side with god on this one, and request that you stop making him out to be a fucking moron.
