Well, there is no double talk, your dope is making you paranoid. This is a simple matter of logic, and it seems to be somewhat of a problem for some of you. "PROOF" is what you perceive to be evidence to support your beliefs. Katasung is here regularly, presenting "proof" of one conspiracy theory after another, and I am sure Kat believes the "proof" presented. Obviously, we don't all believe these "proofs" or there would be no need for Kat to post, to try and convince us. Any time we have a trial in this country, a prosecutor is charged with providing evidence, and a jury has to decide if they have proven their case. Is the evidence "proof?" Perhaps it is, but perhaps it isn't to some people? If "proof" were universally understood and accepted as such, there would be no need for courts or juries, we'd just have someone present "proof" and that would be universally accepted.
You, and others, want to juxtapose "proof" with "faith" but this is an incorrect analysis, because you presume people with "faith" have no "proof" to support their beliefs. I contend they have as much "proof" as they need to confirm what they believe. You don't need to validate their "proof" any more than they need to validate yours. They don't need for you to accept their "proof" any more than you need for them to accept yours. To accept something as "proof" requires you to have "faith" that it's legitimate, there is no other way for you to believe it.
