I learn so much in this group

[Major Nikon]

I can't prove Xenu didn't bring billions of people from the galactic federation to earth 75 million years ago and blew them up with hydrogen bombs so that their vaporized primordial bits now cling to my spirit. So I have an unprovable belief system which denies this.

I have another unprovable belief system which denies Zeus, Apollo, Athena, and the other two dozen or so Greek gods.

I also can't prove I didn't miss hitching a ride on the spaceship that hides behind the Hale-Bopp comet, so I have yet another unprovable belief system which denies that.

Not to be missed, I have yet another unprovable belief system which denies the existence of talking donkeys and snakes with a hippy zombie that promises an eternally infinite supply of moonpies and RC cola, if I only believe His stories.

Im sure there's quite a few I'm leaving out, but I'm kinda busy creating all the mental constructs required to deny all these things. I never realized how easy it must be to simply believe in all of it.

1. RC Cola is no longer...

...made with cane sugar...they went to the dark side.

[Major Nikon]

2. If heaven doesn't have cane sugar RC, I don't want to go

[NeoGreen]

3. I hate to bring bad news but...

...heaven doesn't have anything...not even no-name cheese doodles...

It is an Oasis of Nothing.

Sorry dude...

[Major Nikon]

4. That's like just your belief, dude

[NeoGreen]

5. If that makes you feel better...

...go with it...all the way to the bank...in heaven...

Who says delusions have no value?

[trotsky]

6. It's truly incredible how we all have a practically infinite number of unprovable belief systems.

One for every thing we don't believe, and every thing we've never heard of!

[Major Nikon]

7. I believe that's true, but I can't prove it

[trotsky]

8. We have just witnessed the birth of another unprovable belief system!

Huzzah!

[Act_of_Reparation]

9. I don't believe it is unprovable, but I can't prove that.

We can literally go on all day.

[trotsky]

10. I don't believe we can go on all day.

Aw, dammit.

[Lordquinton]

12. Even things we know to be true are unproven beliefs!

How can you prove I'm not just you talking to yourself?

[marylandblue]

11. I don't believe anyone holds an unprovable belief system

Even people who believe they do. It's really more a question of what constitutes "proof." For some, they believe it because an old book says so. For these people, old books are strong proof.

Others don't want to admit they are relying on such weak proof, so they make up a thing called "faith" which conveniently bypasses all need for proof.
