Can you prove i'm wrong about this ?
As always, I will make a wager because of my high degree of certainty. Those making the wild claims ALWAYS back down because they are less than certain.
Simple.

Oh btw, i only put my hands in a fire when i know i'm sure about something .
To spice your mind: "I'm uncertain about the existence of god, but i believe in life after death" How do you choose between uncertainty and belief ? I mean, what does your approach tells you about abstract things that you can't prove ?

I'd say you assume too much

Certainty - or the lack of it -, is not enough to validate any argument. As i see it, your argument is still as fallacious as the other part.

Swami, you've probably been asked this before, but do you believe in the moon landing?

"I'm uncertain about the existence of god, but i believe in life after death" How do you choose between uncertainty and belief ? I mean, what does your approach tells you about abstract things that you can't prove ?
Without evidence, why believe in anything? If there is an infinitude of possible stories, why choose one as truth?

Indeed, that's what quantum physics would seem to tell us. There is in fact a very minute probability that you could stick your hand in a fire and not get burned, but the odds are immensely against you.

I certainly dont agree with all of Swamis posts but, honestly i look through his posts and i find them logical and entertaining. If anyone is offended by his posts than analyze yourself and ask yourself why am i offended?

In what way could this Related Thread be related to a thread about racketball?
Or is it racquetball?
Is tennis as spiritual as racketball? Or even racquetball?
