This argument may appear over subtle and refined; but is not in reality different from the reasoning of a judge, who supposes, that the credit of two witnesses, maintaining a crime against any one, is destroyed by the testimony of two others, who affirm him to have been two hundred leagues distant, at the same instant when the crime is said to have been committed.so like we cannot/ should not hold the miracles in any regard of one religion because its is very well possible that in trying to establish the foundation for their system, they will try to refute others.. but in doing so they have done it themselves.. i guess?
- 302 Rizvi Khadijaje citiraoпре 2 годинеSuppose that the Caesarean and Pompeian factions had, each of them, claimed the victory in these battles, and that the historians of each party had uniformly ascribed the advantage to their own side; how could mankind, at this distance, have been able to determine between them?
history and historians are just as subjecive as he next person.. if both sides are writing and glorifying their own faction how are we to know who's won?

- 302 Rizvi Khadijaje citiraoпре 2 годинеUpon the whole, then, it appears, that no testimony for any kind of miracle has ever amounted to a probability, much less to a proof; and that, even supposing it amounted to a proof, it would be opposed by another proof; derived from the very nature of the fact, which it would endeavour to establish. It is experience only, which gives authority to human testimony; and it is the same experience, which assures us of the laws of nature.

hmmm not sure what u mean bbg
- 302 Rizvi Khadijaje citiraoпре 2 годинеAll this might astonish me; but I would still reply, that the knavery and folly of men are such common phenomena, that I should rather believe the most extraordinary events to arise from their concurrence, than admit of so signal a violation of the laws of nature.
bro beleives in the laws of nature very firmly
- 302 Rizvi Khadijaje citiraoпре 2 годинеhough the Being to whom the miracle is ascribed, be, in this case, Almighty, it does not, upon that account, become a whit more probable; since it is impossible for us to know the attributes or actions of such a Being, otherwise than from the experience which we have of his productions, in the usual course of nature.

- 302 Rizvi Khadijaje citiraoпре 2 годинеMere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity: And whoever is moved by faith to assent to it, is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding, and gives him a determination to believe what is most contrary to custom and experience.
wow!! i lovw how he says what he's sayng man..... he's not deriding people who do believe.. he is just saying that assent to a suspension of disbelief
