True, but these are SUPERNATURAL events.


Even if they are, we still experience them through natural means and remember them in natural ways. We still misremember stuff.

Uh huh, and the name of this amazing device is? Also if Myrrh came streaming out of it, did it do it all the time? Did the priest have a remote to turn it on or off? What kind of output did it have? Would it fill a glass overnight or a swimming pool?

It produces only a little. It doesn't really come streaming out of it.

True. That's why I ultimately can't convince you. I don't have the proof to show to you.


And you're evading any attempts to nail down the supposed miracle you claim to have witnessed. You have no evidence save your story, which amusingly is the same evidence there is for the Bible. None.

Sounds like a cool band name. Something Indie rock perhaps? Apathetic and emotional, anti-stuff, man!

Actually, there is no reference in the scripture to the number of wise men there were. Only that there were 3 gifts.

Look, I'm not trying to convince you. I'm only stating why I am a believer of God.

Experienced using our natural senses. It's only as strong as its weakest link, my dear. And human senses, no matter how divine the experience is, is quite lacking.

And this, my friends, is an example of a fundamentalist using mental hoops to ignore reality in favor of a fantasy.
