3 Questions For Believers (A work in progress.)

RE: 3 Questions For Believers (A work in progress.)

Yes and no. I don't want to hold to things that are demonstrably false. However, if something can't be proven false and it makes my life better, then it's not important to me to prove it true in order to accept it.
Quote: 2. Do you agree that truth is determined by evidence and observation of facts, and not through any other means?
No. Logic, testimony of others, and (to a lesser extent) intuition are also useful.
Quote:3. Do you understand that there is no evidence to support the claim that your beliefs are true?
No. I understand that there are certain things which I accept as evidence but which you reject.
