            Yeah anon that’s what an axiom is. In order to make an evidence based approach you need axioms to ground it. There’s no such thing as an evidence based approach without presuppositions/axioms, it only exists because of them.

            Look anon I’m going to cut to the chase.
            You’re mad that people tell you your religious visions were hallucinations, it made you question your reality and that hurt, so you want to make atheists hurt in retaliation by making them question whether reality exists.
