I think there are a little difference between the two statements. Noone would think it would be especially weird if you had a chicken sandwich for lunch. Predictions about worldwars etc are in an other class, and people has the rigth to bne suspicious if they are stated after they happened.

I don't think anyone is attacking the person, just the statements, especially if the statements cannot be proven. How come that when somebody dies, then their statements suddently get a status that makes it improper to say that they are not true ? Their dead does not add any creadibility to the statement.

he is not arguing that it is credible

he is arguing that calling her a fraud is being rude and wrong, since there is no evidence that she purposely mislead

I would expect you, JohnT, of understanding that difference

If I told you I was Ghengis Khan reborn, and then I died, would it be rude to say I was a fraud once I was dead?

So? There is absolutely no proof of either. Neither event is something that it would be impossible to happen. If you don't find it convincing, don't believe it, but don't mock them as frauds either.

Jon Miller has this one right

Yeah, right. A Gorgonzola in Somerset. Like that's even remotely possible.

That's the miraculous part covered.

yes, unless I saw evidence that suggested that you knew you weren't Khan reborn, and had been purposefully fooling people

now I might say that you were confused.. or say that I doubted the truthfulness of your being Khan reborn...
