Quote:intense study and careful consideration. I don't wan't to interpret him according to my own free will and even if I did that wouldn't change the Bible it would only change my perception of it. That is why I can criticize the average Xian's pagan influenced interpretation. In the same way my own interpretation is accountable to the same.[quote]Is this according to the bible? Because according to science the burden of proof rests on the believer. I've already explained it to you and others several times to the best of my ability.
So you "try to see what God has to say about himself", without interpreting him with your own free will. By intense study and careful consideration? So in other words, you interpret God with intense study and careful consideration WITHOUT doing so with your own free will? How on earth is THAT possible?
[quote]Burden of proof? Are you saying that I am bound by some burden of proof to you? The Burden of proof, if you insist upon it, belongs to you. Not me.
If anyone is bound it is YOU the believer who is bound .You believe in something that there is NO evidence of. You might as well believe in Zeus the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Invisible Pink Unicorn....
Or a rose-coloured spearmint-flavoured goblin.
Quote:You are talking to me about science? I don't care about science. Have I not explained that to you before?You don't care about science? So you don't care about the theory of gravity? You don't care about DNA? You don't care about evolution? You don't care about physics or even maths? You don't care about LOGIC. So you don't care about logic huh? So I guess we're in a completely random nonsensical world according to you and ANYTHING could be as likely as your God. So you might as well believe what you WANT to believe.
No seriously. What are you TALKING about? Good grief.
You believe that the bible says that unbelievers hold the burden of proof. Not the believers? Since the bible is what you believe in? Rather than science that says by default the believer, the person who makes the first claim. Holds the burden of proof.
