Thoughts on Atheism and Apologetics

[robvalue]

Its the same with everyone. They want you to just believe their pet thing, be it their religion, their favourite alternative medicine, their ghost story, their talking to the dead story... everyone thinks they are special.

Sorry. If you don't have a level of evidence appropriate to the claim, I'm simply not going to believe you. The more departed from observed reality the claim is, the higher standard of evidence I would need to be convinced it's something other than imagination, delusion, placebo or confirmation bias.

I don't presume to say you are wrong, that you don't firmly believe what you are saying, or that you haven't had some sort of powerful experience.
