standard of evidence

[Doubting Thomas]

Why don't you believe in the Tooth Fairy?

again, no evidence or explanatory power and it's not a serious belief.

OK so you're committing the same fallacy you accuse others of making, namely not believing something based on lack of evidence. It's not a fallacy to do this, it's rational and logical. It only becomes a fallacy if you say that there's absolutely no way it could exist because no evidence has been shown for it. And it is a serious belief to children, but that part doesn't matter anyway.

But the very same reasons you don't believe in the Tooth Fairy are the same reasons I don't believe in your god. No evidence and it is just a fairy tale invented by humans.

you can even do a simple test to show he doesn't exist. put a tooth under your pillow and don't tell anyone. WOW, THAT WAS HARD!!

And we have a similar test to show that God doesn't exist. Get an amputee and have God regrow his missing limb. WOW, THAT WAS HARD!!

how many times have you done this now. this will be the last time I correct you on this. I don't think it's irrational to disbelieve a proposition due to lack of evidence, only that it doesn't make the contrary claim(s) any more true or rational. Get it?

And do you get that atheism doesn't say that no gods exist anywhere? We just don't believe in any gods based on the lack of evidence.

I think Christians have a little more than 'just words' to substantiate their beliefs. they have valid arguments backed up by empirical evidence.

OK, please show this empirical evidence which so many Christians have failed to show throughout history. If you show actual evidence for God's existence which can be verified by science you're sure to win a Nobel Prize, go down in the history books, and be a hero to billions of Christians throughout the world.
