Oh church you so random.

I premuse most of you believe Osama bin Laden is dead.

I also premuse most of you believe dark matter is a viable solution for the deviation in the math behind gravity. The reason for that is that you know that if you studied it, you would be able to see the deviation yourself. I'm not saying dark matter is the correct placeholder, what I'm saying is that you would know that it wasn't an absurd placeholder by testing it.

Now, I want to know why you believe the government is telling the truth about bin Laden. There is absolutely know way of knowing whether they're telling the truth. They even burned the compound to the ground and dumped the body in the ocean premusably because of Islamic tradition. However, Wikipedia states (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_funeral#Burial_at_Sea):

"If the death ___occurs____ at sea, and there is a fear of the decay of the body, the prayers should be recited, and the body lowered into the sea in a vessel of clay, or with weights tied to its feet."

"Additionally, if there is a concern about the exhumation and defiling of the body by an _____enemy_____, then it should be lowered into the sea in the same fashion."

Now that we know the burial was in fact not according to Islamic tradition, why was it buried at sea?

We have _no_ evidence for if Osama is in fact dead. This http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-osama-bin-laden-pakistani-video,0,643785
3.story is the only supposed proof we have... and "The footage, which could not be independently verified, is grainy and difficult to make out."

Critical thinking gentlemen. Demand evidence for other people's claims. The government hasn't provided the tiniest bit.
