If evidence is valid then it's valid even when
it supports conclusions that you don't want to
be true. Sorry, but this is how reality works.
Okay, here's the deal. Prove me wrong. Prove
that there's an atheist -- even one -- in
Europe... BUT only if you yourself accept your
own standard of evidence. Because, if theists
use the exact same kind of evidence and you
say it's not valid, then you are simply another
delusional hypocrite.
So, if you insist that personal claims/testimony
IS indeed valid proof, then you have to accept
it in the case of theists.
No more shifting goalposts/sliding scales, you
must accept your own standards even when it's
theists following them.
Or, again, you're just a delusional hypocrite.
