RE: Christians: Convince me that God is Real
For a believer, almost everything can be proof, for disbeliever almost nothing can be proof. Simply said all the good in the word is a significant proof of God and all the bad things is a significant proof there are also other entities. I believe that belief/disbelief is significantly depending on each individual sensitivity and perception.
Nice!
I just posted the following similar argument in another thread, but you said it more succinctly!
One of the things we all do is see a world view that we like and immediately adopt it in a great leap of faith. After that, every new fact is viewed through that lens, and often rejected if it doesn't fit. Only if we encounter overwhelming evidence to the contrary will we allow ourselves to be dynamited out of a world view. Any world view.
That's why Christians and Atheists look at each other with disdain. Our world views are incompatible and misfit facts just bounce off.
But remember, we first chose our world views because that's what we liked.
After a long time we have a nice filter where all the people who like the idea of God being in charge have gravitated to one world view and all those who reject Him have gravitated to the other.
And that's why God does not provide absolute proof.
It would mess up His very clever filter for "separating the sheep from the goats," as He puts it.
Well written and really good chart, I'll borrow it for the future.
