Realistically, it does, especially since your belief is not based on anything except fallible faith. If there was evidence to support your belief, there would be no need for faith.

Three days off and this is the best reset you can come up with? One of many, many times you've brought this up and you've had your arse spanked each time.

I see you like to dodge and bring up things that have nothing to do with what I said, care to try again.

As I've said many times faith comes first, then belief and finally knowledge, there is an order to the Christian way.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Yes, apparently an order that results in a chaotic belief.

Yep, on my island we have faith in so many things.

`they must all be true.

Lots of people REALY believe in them and say it's personal.

Must be a fact then.

And if you pick the wrong faith then you do not have any way of correcting yourself because at no point have you mentioned questioning.

I don't think you know what critical thinking skills even are. If I am wrong then maybe you'd like to tell us what you'd need to do to think critically.

You are correct, he doesn't; he's a science denier. But then even if one understands critical thinking it doesn't mean they like it or use it, and he's a perfect example of that.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

And this is why I cannot be a Christian.  I do it the other way around -- Knowledge, then belief, then faith.  I am neurologically incapable of placing trust in things for which I have no direct experience and no physical evidence.  Guess your imaginary fiend wants me to burn in its imaginary hell.

Christianity when lived as we are instructed is orderly and leads to a peace that goes beyond your understanding, which I have.

He has said He desires no one to go to hell, if you do it's your choice. Neurologically you have it backwards for anything in life, now I understand what you're problem is, you should have explained this long ago, it would have saved us much time.

 I do not have to use critical thinking to tear down things, I can use it to find truth. There are no other gods so I have the right One, the One who has saved me.
