Or who is to say the contrary?

Those who demand that burden of proof violators be burned at the stake.

Burden of proof fallacies are fundamentally, and irreversibly flawed.

Mmmmm..steak....
I have no issues with someone demanding proof of what can be proven or at least evidence of course.
As long as they make it clear what evidence THEY will accept.

Without evidence, and using the burden of proof logical fallacy, Jesus has no more or less of a chance of being the son of god than Bugs Bunny, Danny DeVito, or Eddie Murphy.

I can tell you that my "supreme spiritual leader" rose from the grave, and was sent by god to forgive us of our sins, as long as we swear allegiance to him and only him. My evidence? - BECAUSE I ****ING SAID SO, THAT'S MY EVIDENCE!! KNEEL! KNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!

So, what evidence would be enough for you? what would you view as evidence?

This line of thought actually has quite a bit to do with MA because we are always asking for evidence and proof of claims in MA.

God revealing himself. Wouldn't be hard. Appear in the sky, say "I exist. Jesus is my son. Bye!" and vanish.

And if that doesn't work, how about something tangible (like solid evidence, ie, items) aside from hearsay?

Personal revelation?

[wenshu]

You really have to appreciate how a tangent about IQ served as a segue between Religion and Politics.

With a little bit of Planned Parenthood for good measure. The hell?

Personal revelation?

Uh... no. When I was kid I used to think Optimus Prime was real. I really believed it, too.

[David Jamieson]

I think that hearing god or seeing god amounts to being diagnosed with schizophrenia these days.

Feeling god though?

So what about mind, body, spirit in martial arts? Mind and body we probably all understand about the same...what about 'spirit' though? Is it emotion? Intent? something else? Is it real?

It jacks a $20 lesson up to a $50 one

If there is a God and if he is the creator of all things, then we are all children of God. Not just Jesus!

I know Kali Ma is real because when I gave my blood to her she appeared to me in a dream vision and destroyed my fear to give birth to my bravery and shows me that all is as it will be and death awaits with its sweet embrace of the next beginning. Then she kills me.

What does Kali smell like? If she can't get past my nose then I can't accept her as my deity!

[Lucas]

she smells like honey, vanilla, death and new babies.
