Bloody Hell, RR, you're hard work, you know that?
What you saying is, in short, that nobody can ask for evidence of anything, because if I say "I don't believe X" and you say "i do believe X" then neither of us will confirm/deny because you can't disprove something that has no evidence? You've officially lost the plot here.
The reason why you would be ridiculed for saying Sweden doesn't exist, is because it does. Feel free to even go there on a plane and prove it to yourself, but the point is we have mountains of evidence outside of one book to prove otherwise.
When applying the same reasoning to Miracles/god, we have NO EVIDENCE of this. And not just no evidence, like seriously non evidence what so ever. None. Zilch. Nadda. (You get the idea). Maybe your point is that I can't prove it isn't a thing. Maybe that's so, but you can't prove that it is real in any sense of the word. Maybe you call that "stalemate" but the FACT is that there is still no evidence at all. A 2000 year old book, translated several different times, with multiple authors AND multiple changes made over the years full of other "magic" things happening, isn't evidence of anything. Magic does not exist.
Maybe it's me, and I'm not explaining myself correctly, but I really can't fathom what your point is here. It seems to be "I can't prove it, but you can't NOT prove it, so I win", which is so stupid, I have no words.
