You would need to demonstrate the reality of the spirit, and the historical accuracy of the bible, before one can claim to accept the existence of either and still hold onto any shred of rationality.

And if you accept the unknown before it has become known, you're no better than those raving homeless men standing on street corners. You could say this crap about any supernatural claim; don't beleive in the Egyptian goddess Bast? If you close your mind to the unknown, it will remain that way!
Not a believer in Allfather Odin? C'mon, give the unknown a chance!
What, you don't dedicate a pre-warmed solstice dildo to Prefnia, a fertility god I just made up? What do you have against the unknown?!
Drich, don't pretend that you're actually open minded here; you're just trying to cover for the fact that you have a presupposition that you can't possibly justify even vaguely, by any acceptable means, and yet you want to seem rational. The truth is, you don't accept all unknown claims as possible, because you're specifically obeying the religious edicts of a specific god, to the exclusion of all others.
