Originally posted by FetchmyjunkI am also starting to wonder whether you are just taking the piss, as it happens. So perhaps wondering whether or not you are just taking the piss is simply what adults do in situations like this.
Why don't you leave the adults to have civilised discussion and go and play with your toys?
-Removed-Give a example of a piece of "evidence of Jesus" that has strengthend your personal faith.
Every single word that he spoke that has been recorded in the Bible.
Please provide a specific example of something that is evidential that has to be received by faith?
The words written in the Bible are evidential, when you read them they can strengthen your faith. So I think evidence can strengthen your faith. It's not one or the other.
How can someone "choose" to believe something they don't believe exists?
I think people choose to believe that certain things don't exist, just like they can choose to believe that certain things do exist.
What "evidence of Jesus" do you think there is that an unbeliever should examine in order to "choose" to believe?
The account of Jesus as recorded in the Bible. They can choose to believe this account or they can choose to reject it.
There now are you going to answer my questions? Do I need to provide you with a list of questions you have not answered?

On the Absurd Escapism thread you have left about a dozen questions still unanswered even though I answered or addressed every one of yours.

-Removed-If your faith is God given and is not based on any evidence to support it, does that mean you are more special than unbelievers because God has given faith to you and not to them? How is that fair on those who have not received God given faith?
Also why does Peter say: Always be prepared to articulate a defence to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
How do you articulate a defence without any evidence?
Romans 1:20 - For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

You are erroneous in using the words 'choose to' in the above sentence, as people do not choose whether or not to be 'convinced' by something. - For example, I could not choose to believe in superman, as I am not convinced he actually exists. Without convincing evidence to the contrary I could never choose to believe in the existence of Superman. Why would that be any different for God?
-Removed-Do you believe what is written in Romans?
"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse."
I take this to mean that the evidence of God is there for everyone to see. How do you interpret this verse?
