So no.
In so far as I agree that your notion about there being an "afterlife" is based on "faith", then I think the answer is yes.

I was asking you to answer my question as I framed it.

I wonder if you are capable of doing that.

I did. We agree about what your "faith" has led you to believe but you'd be very mistaken if you thought our knowledge about our lives being finite and about the fact that we die were the product of "faith". But I doubt that you actually do think such a thing.

There you go again. Unable to see what another person says. I wasn't talking about my faith at all, but faith in general for all people.

You're not the first person with a booze problem who thought he sounded profound and enigmatic by issuing a constant string of terse semi-non-sequiturs.

I am not side stepping, I simply disagree with your belief about faith.

When you can agree with me that putting your faith in what you can see is just as much faith as believing in the Bible, then we could talk.
Putting your faith in something tangible is not the same as putting your faith in something intangible. (And I refer to the contents of the bible, not the bible itself as a physical book).

I see you disagree with me too, what a surprise!


Myth and legends grow because of the lessons they impart. The lessons have import; the myths and legends do not. Except, you know, fact-checking is interesting in itself.

I hear what you are saying.
Today, Christians and everyone else should speak to bind good people together.

Isn't that even a mere blip on your radar?

Is that what Jesus did?

It seemed to me he turned society on its head.

Nice statement of your belief. It is totally wrong, but you are welcome to it.

If you think the libtards here represent all of humanity. Seeing as you are a libtard, I would say you think you do.
