    Testimony, oral or written, is not evidence.

    In a court trial, witness testimony is helpful, but forensic evidence, when available, carries more weight, sometimes confirming and sometimes contradicting witness testimony.

    Can you acknowledge that you were wrong and Islam was right on cousin marriages?

    I think that every religion is probably right about at least a few things, however minor or easy to misconstrue, and wrong about others.

    "I'd rather be uncertain and learn, than dead certain and wrong."

    Some degree of certainty or confidence, surely. :) I suppose that in the original post I was thinking about or referring to the tendency of some people to dislike uncertainty or to be fearful of what they don't know, and who attempt to compensate for that by convincing themselves that what they...

    "I'd rather be uncertain and learn, than dead certain and wrong."

    As an atheist, do you think that people who are certain that a god exists--who believe that without a doubt--are wrong?

    I'm more inclined to credit science rather than Islam for what we know about genetics. --

    "I'd rather be uncertain and learn, than dead certain and wrong."

    "I'd rather be uncertain and learn, than dead certain and wrong." I suppose that's my religious philosophy. It seems to me that the more people think they know, the less they learn. It's good to examine and question one's beliefs periodically or regularly, in my opinion.

    What Scares You the Most about Religion?

    We don't know that to be true. In general, over the last several thousand years of recorded history, our once-much-shorter lifespans have increased on average.

    What Incentivizes You to Do Good?

    "Good" and "bad" seem to be value judgments to me. I tend to want to learn from experience, so in that sense, even a bad mistake can be a good lesson.

    Well, I'd have to agree; interesting point. :)

    What Scares You the Most about Religion?

    I'm wondering which types of Christianity you might list as false, and how many people that might offend, and how many of them might consider your brand of Christianity false.

    What Scares You the Most about Religion?

    That seems to me a lot like saying, "when rain isn't wet." o_O --

    What Scares You the Most about Religion?

    I agree, which is why I replied to Unveiled Artist, who stated that, "religion is usually a personal practice." It seems to me that if a religion focused more on the personal and less on itself as a social and cultural institution, the harm caused by that religion might be minimized.

    What Scares You the Most about Religion?

    I disagree. I think that religion (or spirituality) should ideally and predominantly be a personal, private exercise, but frequently it seems to become more a social institution instead, and often one that "carries a large club" to mete out judgment, censure and punishment.

    How To Make a Believable Prophecy

    Personally, I'm wary of "prophesies" that appear in text that might have been written much later than the "prophesied" events occurred. --
