The idea that "You can not argue faith." is reason enough in itself that it is not true that; "you should have no reason to criticize my beliefs."

I totally agree with you. However, your personal beliefs will not change no matter how much someone argues with you. If you believe in God, no one will be able to change your mind but you.

Now, THAT is the first time you have made me laugh.
Yes, calling me "Oafeo" was so hilarious, I practically burst my sides. How old are you anyway?
You really are incredibly full of yourself. See rule 2.
