About This Quote

If we require some kind of sign, or "proof," for our belief in God, then we believe, or place our trust, not in God but in the sign or proof. This is circular reasoning! It is saying that because I have a certain belief I have to have some kind of proof. The fact that I have a belief does not prove the truth of the belief, any more than it proves its falsity. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.
