God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability

I'm beginning to suspect that Drich's alleged AIDS cure was a misdiagnosis, and that some other condition was present.

In essence one can test positive for AIDS and not have the HIV virus. That said I do understand the most popular way to get AIDS is from HIV.

Normally, I wouldn't indulge in quote mining, but this leaped out at me, practically begging to be used.

Physical, mental or both? 

I'm going with a 30/70 ratio.

That's the most reasonable explanation.  Certainly more probable than, he had AIDS and it went away, lol.

Actually.. "We" do. and as such God is responsible for proof. Which He has made attainable for all of those who would humble themselves not before any of us, but before Him (quietly secretly)

No, actually we don't. I can honestly say, with total confidence and access to the membership database, that "he" has never even tried to register as a member here. So until then, looks like "he" is stiffing you with the burden of proof. Hey, take it up with "him".

 You are wrong and here's why, God has sent us and in essence has joined.

Who am I to demand anything from God? But yeah, divine hiddenness is probably one of the more difficult theological problems. I guess the question in my mind is whether the things that are evident about the world give me sufficient reason to believe. I don't require certainty and maybe a fair amount of uncertainty is what makes it a true choice about whether or not to believe.

Theology is an interesting exercise.
Give unbelievable, crazy explanations, so absurd that as saint Augustin suggested, it will be believed.
Theolgy constantly adjusts the answer to make it acceptable in spite of science progress, and scientific proof of the absurdity of sacred texts.

Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: "My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly." This stranger is a theologian. Diderot

Then your god has poor judgement of representatives. I suppose it's down to not having a great deal of choice. I'd expect it to at least be able to spell, for one thing. Even in essence.

Yeah HIV is totally in this season.
