And you are one of these “rational” people? What makes you so?
Is it rational to demand proofs for “their fantastic stories, supsertitions, fanatsies, hallucinations, and what not...” if, in fact, that “rational” person believes that no such “proof” can possibly exist?
Rather like going to the ice rink to drill holes and fish under the ice, isn't it?

Rational human beings do not believe fantastic tales. Do you?

Yes it is rational to demand proof because otherwise we agree to believe hearsay, fantastic stories, superstitions, fantasies and hallucinations. Is that rational?

If someone were to appear before you saying "I am God" what would your reaction be? Would ask for a proof? Or would you fall flat on your face?

if, in fact, that “rational” person believes that no such “proof” can possibly exist?

I never said no proof can possibly exist (where did you pull this from—not form anything I wrote!). I am open to proofs—rational proofs. What else can a rational being expect? Irrational "proofs?"
