As rational people do.
What is rational about that?
Imagine a world where actually asking to see evidence is disparaged - as Jan does above.
Why lie?
"Your honour, the defense clearly is in denial about the existence of unicorns. As if we actually need to show a unicorn to know that they're real (rolls eyes). The defense mocks this courtroom, with his ... his demand for quote evidence unquote...."
Why did you switch to “ unicorns”?
Do you think you could at least pretend to act rationally, by remaining on topic?
Imagine a world where first we posit things might exist, and then ask what evidence we need to accept them.
What kind of “things” are you talking about?
Jan: I posit the existence of a square circle. Please provide me with particulars of what would be acceptable in the way of evidence to convince you. (And then I will find a book where people say they saw square circles.)
You’re being irrational.
Calm down, take a deep breath, then try and remain in topic. Do you think you can do that!
Yes. Also known as being rational.
No it’s not.
You are irrational.
Contrast with Jan, knowing in his hearty-heart that God. Just. Is.
The difference between us is that, I’m not in denial.
Why do you reject and deny God, now that we know the evidence song is just a diversion?
Indeed. Just as a-unicornism is the position of not believing in unicorns.
Irrrrrrrrrrrrrational!!!
Jan, why do you reject unicorns?
I don’t reject unicorns, and neither do you.
But you deny and reject God. Why?
Clearly the fact that the word 'unicorn' exists - and is a concept - is proof that they exist. (And you certainly don't need evidence, right?)
Irrrrrrrrrational!!!
Jan.
