Re: How do you evaluate a truth-claim?

I guess I would "believe" the person, just to see where he is going with the story. Maybe there is something else this person is trying to tell me. While I know in my mind that what he says is not possible, if I play along, he may tell me what he's actually trying to say. Why do you hold ...
