Congratulations, not only are you a gullible half-wit, but your belief system is supported by the exact same sort of "logic" that the Muslims and the Hindus use to support their belief structure.
Quote:I think we all believe in a lot of things without testable evidence. I believe that Plato existed even though the only evidence I have is secondary and isn't testable at all. We all believe and have faith in certain things that can't be tested.
- Words of someone who desperately needs an excuse to maintain his RIDICULOUS beliefs. As if somehow, it makes your absurd notions ok simply because there are others who exist who maintain your same level of stupidity. No sir, MANY of us do NOT believe in "a lot of things without testable evidence," and simply because you write words down on the internet, doesn't magically make them true.

Yes - WE indeed believe in things without testable evidence - especially when we were young - but then WHAT do/did we believe ?
I suspect few believe Plato was an almighty god - who could perform miracles - and created the earth - and I would want the same level of testable evidence of THAT - for ANY claimed god.
Think of it this way - your claim of your god - is just one of about 20,000 or so gods so far named - and NONE of them have any testable evidence to separate them from the pack. Why should I believe the claims of YOUR religion - when some of the evidence offered from the religion turned out to be WRONG?
The bible is clearly flawed - has errors - conflicts with nature - and as time passes - more and more of the bible passes from what was once considered absolute truth(and people were killed if they did not believe) - to an Allegory - which it clearly is not as well - it is MYTH and Legends of some ancient cave dwellers and goat herders - and even their history is MYTH.
