since EVERYTHING is just a lie and a fake, give us an explanation how it is possible that all these people are liars and frauds.

DBTrek said:The same way it's possible that billions and billions of people swear their personal flavor or religion is the one singular truth.
Just like the UFO crowd, they have no proof but that does not deter them from relaying unbelievable story after unbelievable story.
Duh.
How is it you see people behaving in the way you describe (liars, frauds, and misguided believers) every day of your life and are yet unable to understand how it could be possible?

Gwops said:Perception is like taste. Different from individual to individual.
Religion is something you cannot discuss. You need to be daredevil or insane to discuss religion. Religious people (maybe not all) - but definitely too many in my point of view take things at face value. So the real truth is never discussed or meant to be revealed. Religion is faith. Blind faith. Not knowing but believing. This is definitely not my cup of tea !!
In my opinion, there is a problem that skeptics feel like EVERYTHING must be served on a silver plate. This typical black and white thinking makes me sick. Something may sound far fetched (in your words unbelievable), but how often does science change its mind ? How often do you read in newspapers (not science but an example nonetheless) that eating this or that is healthy due to nutritionists.
If one is told a story in the paper by a famous or well known researcher, does the ordinary person who reads the article go ballistic and demands double or triple proof ? Normally, not ! Being told a story from an authority gives you assurance - I'd say it's often false assurance.
I believe the problem lies with the body of authority. NASA would have told us.
An individual person may have no power but if he or she sights a UFO, it might be hard to believe or sound unbelievable, but what lies really in the realm of possibilities ????
DBTrek said:Not necessarily so. Take Christians for example, some of them think they have considerable "evidence" supporting their beliefs; the Shroud of Turin, Noahs Ark's wreckage on Mount Arat, geological evidence of a great flood, several holy artifacts from the crusades, Jesus's Tomb . . . etc.
