Should we doubt all of our memory-based beliefs that do not have empirical evidence of their occurance?

Black Parade Billie: The second "memory" about the guy living 2000 years ago is not a memory.

Tons of them. No. That is crazymaking. That is a way of driving a person mad, discounting everything they feel they've experienced.

Yeah, when I was a kid, me and my sister went to a different baby sitter one time. They had two kids about the same age as me and my sister, I was in Catholic grade school at the time. The two kids asked me and my sister to come into the bathroom with them, where the proceeded to pull what looked like a piece of poop out of the toilet, they then both took a bite, then they asked me and my sister if we wanted a bite, of course we were totally grossed out and said no, but now that I am an adult, I think that they were just having fun with us and that it was just a baby Ruth or something like that. Sort of how I felt about religion until I grew up and paid attention in school.

The more important the claim, the more the need for evidence.
If I tell you "I got a bike for my 7th birthday" you could take my word for that. If I told you that a guy lived 2,000 years ago and if you didn't believe thus n so about that guy, you'd be tortured forever when you die - you'd better expect some evidence.

Several. It isn't important. It's what you do today. In those cases your subconscious will act as a back up aid to help you do what's right if you're thinking right. Beautiful avatar, by the way.

Certainly we all can do that. Problem is, the human mind is known to embellish these "truths" over time. And, it still fails to be a good reason to beleive in God.

memory has a nasty habit of embellishing and re-arranging things!

no, but neither should we unquestioningly accept that they true, people often remember things that did not actually happen
