Re: Stories as evidence
Can the same be done with God's existence? If you say "No" please make sure you have looked EVERYWHERE you can in the physical universe. Because if I can point out a place you didn't look, and you don't know about or understand, you are not going to look to smart.
Very few people will outright claim that any particular deity absolutely does not exist. Those who do claim as such, I personally put right up there with the evangelical types.
On the flip side, for those who absolutely claim their deity DOES exist, yet can provide no evidence or provide only claims, are just as loony. I would certainly hope you have pictures of yourself with your dog so as to not rely on this second telling of a story as evidence for his/her existence. Can you provide something similar for your deity of choice?

Re: Stories as evidence
You probably haven't found a single person who has seen a dog like mine who could catch pheasants.
Your lack of observation has nothing at all to do with the existence of my dog and the way he hunted.
Are you asking us to worship your dog? Are you saying we will burn in a lake of fire for eternity if we don't believe your story? It's a story about a dog, dude. Hardly comparable to that of one about the walking dead who performed miracles. Your equivocation is a weak one.
assume you have looked at and KNOW EVERYTHING
Religionists are the only bunch who claim knowledge on everything. The ONLY members on this site who claim to know everything are......
wait for it........
wait for it......
Creationists and bible thumpers.
