If i were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes.
But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense.
If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as a sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school and by parents, hesitation to believe in its existence would become eccentricity.
hmmmmmmm =) ...
Say something intelligent if you are going to reply and not just "may god save you" or something like that.
I was a christian for 20 years and now an atheist.
