If so, on what basis? Someone's testimony?

If not, what are you reasoning from?

Information that convinces you of something... is that a fact? I think a fact is an objective truth. Sure we can all agree on some religious truths (I'm talking believer and non).

Yes it's shared experience. Assuming belief the pot of shared information becomes vastly bigger. Those objective truths suddenly expanded to include those components dependent upon belief.
The widest endeavor of humans into spirituality is the same subject. Much of it is dross and takes some rigor to navigate. We have a lot of information to go on.

For the fifth time:
What reason do you have to dismiss the belief in Unicorns, Leprechauns and Fairies, and why do these reasons not apply to your deity?

For the umpteenth time:
What are your rational reasons for a belief in your deity?

Do you believe your lack of argument is particularly compelling support of your deity to anyone on this forum but yourself?

That's a good dodging tactic you have there diverting attention away from your continual avoidance of confrontation. Will you ever engage? It looks like you won't huh.

Can you see the parallel thread that I'm engaged in where I answered someone asking the very same question? Difference being : they were actually engaging rather than masturbating.

I don't care which thread you masturbate to, but if you can't keep your hands on the keyboard long enough to participate, why post in it?

Avoiding confrontation? I've asked the same set of confrontational questions that you are avoiding answering. What is this, opposites day?

Because he's been around just about forever, and if you engage him on subjects other than religion, you may find he's actually quite a decent guy.

The only reason I don't beat the crap verbally out of you harder than I do is that we are both ABBA fans. Now, if you think you catch shit for being a sky parent fan, lets start an ABBA thread and ask everyone here what they think of ABBA. Believe me these guys here are much harder on an ABBA fan than a believer.
