Just wanted to say that I am enjoying reading the material on your site. I like the way, in your "Letters to and from" section, you keep demanding definable proof. Nothing subjective will do!

Question with boldness even the existence of a God... If it ends
in a belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in
the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise, and the love of
others which it will procure you.

... you keep demanding definable proof ...
What other kinds of proof are there?
