Please refrain from believing in talking snakes in a magical garden, crimson trident tailed demons residing in lakes of fire, and virgin births before asking someone else if they really "believe all [that] crap"

Thanks 🙂

I understand that you think you are right, I don't think you are lying.

But the point about rationalism, of skepticism, is that it provides mechanisms for determining
if something is true or not, or whether we can make that determination at all as it could be
we just don't know either way.

There are a plethora of religions, a number of which ar ...[text shortened]... unless any actually gain the evidence required.
This is the position of the agnostic atheist.

I partially understand what you mean. When I was searching for the true
Christian church, which I thought existed as an organization, I had to
evaluate their teaching with what it said in the Holy Bible. In all cases
there were truths in one that others did not acknowledge or unique errors
that distinguished one from another.

Are there any open minded people out there any more?

If you have convincing proof of the supernatural and/or aliens the JREF http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge/challenge-faq.html
will give you a million $ for proving it.

And then we (I) will believe you.

Until you have any evidence to back up your claims then they are ridiculous.

Being open minded does not mean accepting any old nonsense that comes along.
It means being prepared to change your mind when presented with convincing evidence and or argument.

There are no talking snakes in the Holy Bible. I do not believe in such things.
I believe in the one virgin birth mentioned in the Holy Bible for it is a
necessary part of the salvation plan of God. And I have never spoken of a
crimson demon with a tail.

The natural could not possibly exist without a supernatural cause. There
is no natural explanation the existence of the natural so that means the
only explanation must be supernatural. Is that circular reasoning or what?
