The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

Because its an unfalsifiable hypothesis, you cannot disprove them and you don't need to either. The disbelievers do not bear the burden of proof. The burden of proof is on people who claim to know what resides in reality. It falls in the category of any other unfalsifiable hypothesis like dragons and fairies. Even if there's proof of Jesus its not proof that he was the son of god or any other supernatural claims. But you're not willing to budge because you've heard all of this before and you refuse it even though its irrefutable.

Edited by Brumak Launcher: 11/10/2014 3:28:15 AMpeople who claim He doesn't exist have the same burden of proof, except they shift the focus and burden to the believers. the problem for the nonbelievers is that Judaism and the Hebrews as well as Christianity and Islam have been around longer than the doubts have. these religions refer to (particularly Christianity) actual interactions with Him. in addition, we have physical proof of His existence. these acts were recorded in the books of the bible because they were worth recording for teaching future generations. the stories have been recited for millennia. only within the last century or so have more people started to not believe in God or Jesus Christ. this stems from our furthered scientific understanding of our world. the problem is that the more we learn, the more we [i]think[/i] we know, no matter how little we actually [i]do[/i] know.
