If everyone simply uses their own standard of credibility no one has to admit to anything and everyone can simply disagree about every thing they want.

Well I am interested in whether you believe in the existence of love of not?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerLike I said on the previous page, start a thread about 'how to measure love' and see who wants to discuss it with you. I don't.
Do you believe in the existence of love? If love is not supernatural what is it and how do you measure it?
Originally posted by @fmfYou obviously seem to believe in the existence of love based on our previous discussions but obviously now that you can't say how you measure or observe it you are not interested in discussing it.

Originally posted by @josephwRestating your belief that the world around us, and we ourselves, are evidence that we were created is beside the point; it is not evidence that a "lake of fire" exists, which is what is being discussed here.
The most extraordinary claim that exists is that there is no God in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerThe only evidence for a 'lake of fire' that I am aware of is that which is recorded in the Bible
When you were a Christian, did you believe in a 'lake of fire'?
If you do happen to have any further evidence, present it. If it's just those three words in an ancient text, supposedly divinely inspired, then fair enough. I hear you. I understand that that is all your evidence amounts to. And I understand that you find it credible. This confirmation is all I was after. Thanks.
Originally posted by @fmfWhat evidence could I possibly happen upon? Near death experiences? No, I think the Bible is all we have. It's compelling enough, I mean even you used to believe it for a few decades. 😉

Do you want physical proof for something that is not physical? Or what kind of proof would you accept?
I lost you there, didn't I.
