Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

[Huggy Bear]

Well, I think the photo that he won't show is is actually fantastic evidence of Yahweh. The audio recording he also won't show us tips the scales, it's amazing, I assume. Yahweh confirmed. I don't care though.

Now what? He's supposed to be disproving Odin. He's still right here next to me. I'm surprised no theists are interested in what he has to say. It's like they are discounting my testimony instantly because it doesn't agree with the conclusions they want.

Where's those photos, and eyewitness testimony? Don't tell me you are unable to deliver...

I just gave you eyewitness testimony. I'm the eye witness. I'll tell you anything you want to know about him. He doesn't come out on photos, so I'm afraid it would just be blank. He communicates using special mind rays with me.

You don't believe my testimony, do you? Even though he's right here next to me.

You really put a lot of stock in eyewitness testimony, don't you. You do realize social studies have shown how utterly unreliable eyewitness testimonies can be, right?

You have one stupid picture with a blob/streak of light that could've been anything, and you have potentially unreliable eyewitness testimonies (and I'm not even sure if they're first-hand even), and this is what you call evidence for God? Are you really that lacking in critical thinking skills?

I still use film in my medium format vintage Hasselblad. Sometimes the transparencies come back with little markings on them. Sometimes it's happened in the lab. Sometimes it's light leaking into the camera if I have been careless. It had never occurred to me to claim it as being evidence of the supernatural.

I'm not just providing someone else's testimony, I'm giving live commentary. Surely that's even better! I can interact and answer questions. No one who wrote the bible can do that. All we can do is read what they wrote over and over. Everything I say becomes eyewitness testimony. He's right here, I'm looking at him.

But guess what, they won't believe me. It just goes to show that they do have scepticism, they just don't realize how to use it consistently.

Odin speaks to me, Huggy.  He guides me.  He came to me in a vision.   You have to have an open mind and be willing to see, in order to recognize his essence.  I know it wasn’t just a dream or a hallucination.  I know Odin personally, and you can too.  All you have to do is be honest with yourself.

See? That's independent confirmation. We just need a few more and we'll have more sources of evidence than there were for "Jesus".

But they still won't believe us, because when it supports a conclusion they don't like, their brains turn on and they start to examine how likely it is that the facts are what they "appear" to be in testimony. When it supports what they want to be true, they accept it based on ludicrous criteria.

@Huggy

I’m curious to know what you think of the possibly tens of thousands of personal testimonials regarding the Mandela Effect? Do you consider that testimony to be strong evidence of parallel universes colliding? Why or why not?

Just the other night the FSM said to me, clear as a bell "Asiago on your pasta....enough of this Parmesan shit."

Naturally I obeyed.  Who can deny the voice of god.

Here's some more eyewitness testimony, from my brother John:

"Odin is the most incredible being I have ever seen. It seems that Rob has some sort of special connection with him. I hear his booming voice, but it is as though Rob is hearing his thoughts, and can reply in kind.

I live in Kent, in England, which are real places that existed at the time I wrote this. So what I'm saying must be true."

Thanks John.
