@suzianne saidFaith without evidence is blind faith, Christianity is an evidence-based faith, there is historical evidence and people have to deny it to justify their denial. Muti-universe is a blind faith, everything from nothing is a blind faith, everything being eternal is a blind faith, a repeating universe is a blind faith, and Abiogensis is a blind faith.
Surely you understand that a stance on something with zero evidence lies firmly in the realm of faith?
And there seems to be a somewhat surprising dearth of faith in literature.
@kellyjay saidIce cream comes in many flavours, but at the end of the day, it's all just ice cream.
"your particular flavour of god"
Islam, Christianity, Hinduism. They're all just different flavours of the same human desire to explain the unexplainable.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou again are assuming it is all between the ears and nothing more and repeating that in several different ways is all you got. God is not real, because God is not real, you should engage in the topic instead of going after something we agree on. No matter what your views about God are, they are your views, that is not a revelation that is simply acknowledging what we think about things, the object of the discussion is God not what we think.

@kellyjay saidThese are just random words Kelly. Again, if you can't address my posts then I think we are pretty much done.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSimply refusing to go beyond human thought you avoid the conversation, it is what I said what you were doing, and are still doing! It isn't what we think about God that matters, it is the reality of the topic of God, if you cannot see that you were never in the conversation to begin with to leave it.

@kellyjay saidJohn 20:20
Christianity is an evidence-based faith
Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Hebrews 11:1 faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
The Bible enourages faith over evidence
@vivify saidYou should read the whole Bible.

@vivify saidAre you going to give evidence to support your world view, or just quote from a book you don’t take seriously, or understand?

@vivify saidI gave you some evidence there is much more, but you are acting as if you have some while denying what I have already given. You going to put up some evidential evidence or just pretend you don’t need to prove yourself while demanding evidence from another?
You realize that's a contradiction, right?
Do you also believe in scienced-based superstition? How about chemistry-based alchemy?

@kellyjay said1) What "evidence" did you give? And evidence of what?
I gave you some evidence there is much more, but you are acting as if you have some while denying what I have already given. You going to put up some evidential evidence or just pretend you don’t need to prove yourself while demanding evidence from another?
2) When did I "demand" evidence for anything?
