Fr0d0, you're chastising me for looking for proof, when I'm not. What I'm actually doing is asking you how you possibly square believing in something without any proof in your mind. How about you cut out the condescension and answer the question I asked?

I've explained that reasoning to you before Esq. I have good reason. There cannot be proof. So your question makes no sense. I'm sorry if I seem short with you. I'm sick to the back teeth of reiterating that point.

Why is it more silly to believe leprechauns are real than to believe god is real? Just as there is no proof for the existence of god, there is also no proof for the existence of leprechauns. Why dismiss other things for which there is no proof to support their existence, but choose one thing in which to believe that fits into the same category of nonexistence?

Why is it silly to believe that alien flump monsters are real over love being real when both fall into the same proof category of non existence?

Love is just as irrational as faith. After all, plenty of people experience a love that can never be reciprocated, and that is unhealthy.

Faith isn't irrational, unless it is just because you say so.

Love can be unfounded I guess. Does it come about on its own with no reason?

Faith is irrational, because it is a concept derived from lack of reason.

Right. How many other personal revelations have you got for us? Or can we go back to the real world now?

I propose a new drinking game. Every time fr0d0 uses a platitude you have to take a drink.

Just try not to kill yourself playing.
