When to "provide evidence" making claims? !
On RF when I make a claim "I can hold my breath" till someone imposes "you should provide evidence"
Is this correct? Are there examples of claims which can be made without having to provide evidence?
I could think of a few claims, where the smart...

How do you feel about Bill Gates, do you trust him?
A) It's important to trust the person, whom we hand over all of our virtual data.
B) But soon it's important to trust (him) also with our body, as Corona vaccination (for starters) might be imposed on all
(nowadays/soon, with advancing...
Scientist claims HCQ works good to treat Corona
Within 45sec the first proof is given; so no summary
Why would WHO fight so hard to disallow HCQ?
I have a pretty good idea about that
How Islam as a whole commits Blasphemy (if they impose their definition on non Muslims)
Why they do commit Blasphemy is easy to understand:
1) We have Freedom of Religion, that means all are Free to choose the Religion they want
2) This Freedom also means that you are Free to define God, how...
Another view on Bible violence (applies to any Scripture):
Hypothetical:
1) God exists and one goal of humans is to live a humane life
2) God is Loving, Just and Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient
3) God inspired to write the Scriptures (as an example I use the Bible)
In short:
* All our...
In Holland they did a nice experiment. They took a Holy Scripture and highlighted some violent passages, and showed it to the people and asked some questions. Also interesting to see when those people found out from which scripture the verses came. All this to confront ourselves with our...
* What is the Real Truth?
* How do we know if something is the real truth?
* Do you have the guts to reject verses from your Master/Scriptures if they feels wrong?
* Can we rely on our Conscience to know if something is true, and is Conscience sufficient to know The Truth?

Speak Your Truth
Below video is ca. 30 minutes, and I had many times the thought "this feels good what she says here". Personally I think it makes sense what she says. Her frequency idea reminds me of the "aura" concept. I think that her way of describing things are easy to understand, and...
Rape as in "Crime of assault" and what is proper justice

When faith changes into knowing
Some people need "peer-reviewed proof", before believing. I trust my own experience only, not others' reviews.
Hypothetical: Our belief in Jesus.
A) What is needed for you to really believe in Jesus?
For me, to really believe Jesus exists, now, and Him being...
Are there Bible proofs that Proselytism is wrong?
First of all what is the difference between Evangelizing vs Proselytizing?
IMO (very short):
1) Evangelizing is being enthusiastic about something and sharing it with others, who eagerly want to hear
2) Proselytizing is evangelizing, but...
When asked about God:
Theists claim "I believe in God"
Atheist claim "I lack believe in God"
Sages remain "Silent"
Fact is that Theists don't know about God, else they would have claimed "I know that God exists" **
Fact is that Atheists don't know about God, else they would have claimed "I know...

Interesting thoughts on Bliss, Truth, Love
"God" seems to be differently defined from usual.
My mother uses white lies, so I have no faith in her, no confidence and can't love (as in trust) her. Same with a murderer. No trust, faith, confidence. Yes I have the confidence he might kill me (even...
Disclaimer:
1: All the below is my personal opinion in my quest for truth. I Can be wrong. No disrespect.
2: IF someone would argue "this thread is crazy", then I would argue "not half as crazy as allowing religious people claiming `all go to hell unless they have accepted Jesus` etc.etc."...
Today I saw a thread posing the question:
"Obviously there must be an ultimate truth, but do all religions show a way to this?"
This got me wondering.
A): "Obviously there must be an ultimate truth"
"MUST" implies IMO that you are groping (otherwise you would say "IS")... so kind of "not...
