From the thread here.
Some colks fret about why that'n won't accept evidence. Some folks won't put em up no evidence. Ya know, humans and all that.
For debate:
1. Is it reasonable and rational to fret over folks not accepting evidence we refuse to put us up about it?
2. Is it reasonable and rational to expect folks to draw em conclusions based on assertions, while not presenting evidence about em?
3. Is it reasonable and rational to conclude the liar lies, and the preacher preaches?

2) Again, depends on the person referenced. Belief is a powerful thing second only to the human mind and its abilities IMO. People can lie and convinced themselves that lie is true and thus, to them, the lie becomes truth even if it can be demonstrated otherwise.
3) People are more than liars and preachers. If one claims a person is simply only a 'liar' or 'preacher' shows a limited scope of reality.
People are people - meaning you shouldn't expect too much from them, especially in a forum such as this. There are all types of people alive today, including on this very site. You can't expect too much from them.
1) Probably depends on whom you ask. Some people can't stand others not agreeing with them or seeing things their way. So long as one doesn't claim to have evidence, they shouldn't be chastised for not putting up evidence (unfortunately, some confuse 'belief' with 'knowing').1.
