So your offering a bet about talking animals.
When I say talking animals I don't mean animals that just mimic us. I mean animals that can hold a conversation.
If we have to take time to "consider" every single claim, then we wouldn't have the time to do anything else.
Claims are infinite in number. A pre-filtering of claims is required for practical purposes.
I require reasons to consider an idea. This has nothing to do with being open or closed minded.
To be closed minded means that you will not consider an idea no matter how valid it is or how much evidence supports it.
If you are not willing to consider the claims of a person who claims to have seen a dragon change into a beautiful blonde that made love to him, then then again turn into a dragon and fly away to the planet Venus, then you are not being "closed minded". Then you are being rational.
Unfalsifiable claims have no merrit. They are infinite in number and "considering them" is a gigantic waste of time.
You're an armchair philosopher. I have the wisdom of the universe inside the Bible.
I don't know, I've never heard Satan's side of things.

So, you have a brick phone?Robban said:Haha, I don,t own an armchair. I have the infinite wisdom of Torah, Though it would take 2-3 more lifetimes to be able to say, "Now I,m starting to get it." In the meantime, is there anyone else I can talk to up there?
So the most evil thing in the universe, the prince of darkness, is busy manipulating people's brains so that their minds produce thoughts of taking candy without paying? Does this terrible evil also hop around in our skulls amongst specific neurons so that think of "naughty" words?
Satan might be more evil if he just stole our shoe laces or something.

Are you suggesting that there is a gene for "Satan's spiritual thinking?"
Is this hyperbole, or do you think there is a gene for a "sin nature?"
Regardless of what we're eating, my expectation was correct.
The video was made by someone besides him. It takes something he said in a debate and adds graphics. I agree with Harris on some things and disagree with him on others. I have that ability because I have the mental capacity to listen to what he says and evaluate it. Because you lack the mental capacity to even listen to his statements, you lack the ability to evaluate it.
Here's an idea for you - how about you stop referring to your deity as God? I find your deity, Yahweh, to be a reprehensible figure, disgusting and terrible. The actual creator of the universe, the real God, is likely much more intelligent.
Now, let's repeat the question:
So, before God and others, please answer this one question honestly, knowing that a false statement is sin to Yahweh:
Did you or did you not watch the entire video before replying to it?
He's being tongue in cheek, but Satan's spiritual thinking is something we have inherited. He also influences us indirectly and sometimes directly.
