The reason people accept science is because it tests everything and provides evidence for the points that are made. Every alternative I have ever seen involves blindly accepting without any reason to.
You cannot differentiate between any 2 idiots beliefs and figure out which one is true unless you decide to test what they believe and find out what is true if either are true. Your option seems to be just accept one of them and have a good moan about people caring about what is actually true.

Because there is no way of finding out for sure if its real or just more bullshit somebody made up.

That's called begging the question. You're arguing on the assumption that my religions claims are false, not proving that they are false.
You give me the claim and if it is possible to find out if its true I will look into it. If it is untestable then it isn't worth caring about seems there is no way to determine if its true or not.

It is bullshit. You have no valid way to know god. lol

No your fooling yourself. Quit trying to make out that its us with the problem.
