1-Can't you see how biased you're being?

No. I think I'm being quite open to bizarre concepts should any evidence ever appear, such as if a god wanted to meet me. I would be unbiased until I knew for sure what the god's expectations of humans were, and how able it was to enforce or punish based on those expectations. I might then become biased in some way depending on what I heard straight from the horse's mouth.

"Don't even bother".. are you pretending the Bible didn't have any good at all this whole time?

It has a tiny bit of good, the 'don't even bother' is so that you don't have all the quoting work, unless the good stuff is soooo good that it cancels out all the horrible stuff, making it seem insignificant, in which case I'd really like to see it.

You've never seen the SAG to the Bible? Is a word count of how many times Love is in the Bible vs the word kill what you're wanting? That method is ineffectual for concept formation which is a key to reading comprehension.

I think I was at the site once or twice years ago when someone linked to it. Words need the context of sentences, otherwise you don't even know whether it's demanding love or just saying love is nice, etc. Sort of like how sentences sometimes need other sentences for context. Speaking of which, all claims that the bible sentences are being seen by me out of context are still unproven. No one has shown me good contextual sentences that cancel out the bad ones.

3- Yes but I wouldn't ridicule you or attack your belief in those faries.

I hope you would at least a bit, since it is really silly for me to claim they are real and just expect you to accept that unquestioningly. You should let me know clearly that you don't have enough evidence to take such a crazy claim seriously.

If you have subjective experiences and have approached it rationally and logically then I'd assume it's real to you and you're not delusional. I'd probably even come visit to get a look for myself.

And I would fail in my effort to show you anything to do with flower fairies. I could show you the flowers, how full of fairy energy they seem, how obviously fairies are everywhere even if there is nothing to indicate that other than my wish for it to be so. If something that specific is real to me but to no one else, then there is still a good chance that I truly am delusional.

And a little pascal's wager to go with my coffee, if any fairies are listening, please don't punish me by making my flowers wilt. All I did was doubt your existence. And you said you'd never be a prick like some of your competitors that way. What's that? You were joking about all those worship requirements? You had me going, guys, I'm treating you to plant food today, good one!
