And what would that be? Calling you out on your evasive, petty 'debating' style? Or complaining about all you 'non-answers'?

I don't follow what you are saying here, but it would be foolish of me to expect an explanation from you wouldn't it? Just so long as you can feel superior.

I asked for your views, which in hindsight was a stupid thing to do because you can never answer a straight question.

What error? Oh wait damn that's another pointless question that you won't answer.

No not at all, maybe for once you should explain yourself

You test your idea against opposing/ alternate ideas and go with the one that makes most sense. Is that different to how you decide which idea to go with?

EEEETTTTTTTTT,

All you are doing is saying, "Read a lot of shit, and go with what makes me feel good", that isn't even universal "comparing" and most certainly not "testing".

That is not "testing" and hardly universal methodology. Muslims and Jews and Hindus read others crap too, and just like they do you tell yourself "Yea, I've read their stuff too, but it cant hold a candle to my crap".

Again, that is not "testing", that is looking for excuses to cling to what makes you feel good.

Don't call it "testing". Just be honest and say it makes you feel good. But do not call it a methodology.

RE: Yes I pick on all religions.
This isn't a material that you can manipulate in a lab Brian. This is information you evaluate with your brain. We're not talking about feelings or intuition here. Were talking about logical problems with answers of various degrees of perfection. It's usually a simple exercise in discarding the least likely option. Are you capable of that? I don't see how any human can function without this process. It's how you live your daily life. Given likelihood a and b, you choose which course of action to take. Your functioning is controlled by your philosophical outlook. You do it just like everyone else.

That is exactly what we are talking about.

That doesn't even make sense. Something is known as either perfect or not perfect, you cannot have degrees of perfection.

So you're saying your a xian because its the most likely to be right? Or least likely to be wrong? Tell me, how did you calculate these probabilities?

BINGO, it is not "material" and neither is their god neither or their holy books. It never occurs to any believer of any religion that HUMANS are the ones making up gods because it is a placebo and false comfort.

It is all, every single one, a reflection of human's desires, yours and every other. There is no "method" in any of it. It is merely clinging to myth to bring oneself false comfort.

Belief in Ra, and Osirus and Horus, once brought people comfort. Belief in Apollo once brought people comfort. Other believe in Allah for comfort. Others believe in Vishnu in comfort.

And NONE OF YOU have the balls to take your claims into a lab because none of you have shit you can prove. You merely like what you believe and no one of any religion has the guts to admit that is really all they have.
