Why do Christians set such a low bar for evidence of their own beliefs and set it so high for everything else?

Things we've learned from this thread: christians can only imagine one thing at a time, and since all their mental energies are spent pretending that their god is god A, they can't spare the runtime to deal with hypotheticals more closely aligned with actual reality, which is that their god is either B or C.

There's enough poor and fallacious reasoning in this world, buddy. Don't lower yourself by adding to it.

Even Jesus' existence is a contention of historical accuracy. Superstrings and Multiverse are also a matter of contention.

Nobody here is claiming that superstrings and the multiverse absolutely positively exist and are active in our lives, either.

Jesus could be active in you're life if you wanted. He's waiting for you to come home, Esquilax.

But he causes trouble with grammar. Just FYI.

(May 1, 2014 at 8:43 pm)Quantum Theorist Wrote: To those who say god is real but it's actions can not be detected, I want to give you a scenario. There are 3 gods in this example...
God A, this god manifests in reality and the god's actions manifest in reality. (this god exists)
God B, this god manifests in reality but this god's actions do not manifest in reality. (this god exists)
God C, this god does not manifest in reality in any way. (this god doesn't exist)
Now please differentiate between God B and God C for me. Maybe we should instead play what's next in the series
Seems to me God C should be:
God C, this god does not manifest in reality but this god's actions do manifest in reality.
Then the current C would be D:
God D, this god does not manifest in reality in any way.
I left out the parentheticals as they're non sequiturs. A God D could exist, and would be a deist-type god.

Substitute Jesus for anything else that does not exist, and you would be just as correct. After all, the only way to think one knows any unproven concept exists is to delude one's self into believing it above all rationality.
