Atheism & Theism...A Common Denominator

[Lori_7]

Well.. what you think is evidence anyway. There is no way to verify it.
Personal experiences are not evidence.

they sure as hell are to me.

 

[Enmos]

And how does one get this evidence?

Doesn't matter, as long as is repeatable and falsifiable.

 

[Enmos]

they sure as hell are to me.

What if a crazy person regularly sees flying pink elephants ? Is the fact that he has this personal experience evidence of the existence of flying pink elephants ?

 

[S.A.M.]

If you were that crazy person, would they be evidence to you?

i would imagine it would be to them.

feel? the evidence isn't usually tactile or emotional in nature.

Hey, I have an idea. Lets all go to Lori's church and see if she sings in the choir.

 

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

you're full of crap and you don't care.

I am 1 of the few, if not the only 1, to not conclude from your reported experiences that you are deluded or some such. I guess that's just some of my noncaring crap.

I don't go to church, but I got a standing ovation singing kareoke!

Well then how do you reconcile that?

I didn't mean that you don't care about me or people in general. I meant that you don't care that there are millions of people that testify to knowing god or having experienced evidence of god in their lives.

Sweet, as in loveable.

Paradise by the dashboard light duet with a hefty and entertaining friend.

Oh its cold and lonely in the deep dark night...

You don't care that billions of people disagree with your interpretation/assumptions about gods.

I have evidence you don't. I didn't always have it. I know how it works.
