Meaning what, precisely? What type of proof do you have in mind? What, specifically, would lead you to re-examine your belief system?

I'd suggest that the concept (or the process) of proof has no meaning outside of a rule-based system. If I posit a Deity that is

the creator of all rules and, therefore,
unbound by any of them,

issues of proof and burden of proof are about as meaningful as a debate over the taste of yellow or the color of pi.

If, moiii, you feel that the concept of proof is applicable, perhaps you could share the objective basis upon which you selected Christianity and de-selected Hinduism.

RD,

Good post. Sorry to interupt, but I believe it was SK who said truth is subjectivity!

Long live Subjectivism!

Postulating politics and religion is about as useless as formal logic was to mozart and leonardo da vin...

moii seems to have left the field, and WJ is doing a good impersonation of Amos. Off to RRP.
