In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
RE: In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
Based on the entirety of this thread, I’m starting to suspect the answer is ‘some sort of brain fever’.

An inference is when someone is sharp enough to see you trying to slip an idea in without owning it -- kinda like you're doing here when you try to equivocate an implication with a claim.

As long as there's no quote of me saying what you guys claim, then I'm happy. The best you found was me explaining that faith is trust and that's not good enough.

You're happy with semantics, don't care about actual thinking. Got it.

You have a great day now. I'm done with you and your dishonesty.

I suppose there isn't much else for you to do in the absence of a quote.

Breezy, are you on house arrest again? Or is this one of those manic phases?

Oh, I see. When earlier you said 

Quote:I DO NOT BELIEVE, ANY DEITY OR DEITIES ARE POSSIBLE. 
 

You are saying that "I do not believe X is possible" is not the same statement as "I believe X is impossible." 

Is that right? 
They are demonstrably not the same, as one is a belief, and other disbelief. 
Quote:You've been at this type of fight for a while now, so I expect you've heard many claims by Christians. What reasons do you have for rejecting their claims that God is possible? 
The same reason anyone has, for disbelieving any claim, I have not seen sufficient evidence to allay my doubts. 
Quote:For example, you've no doubt heard the various arguments which say that God is a necessary being and you have judged these arguments to be unpersuasive. According to what standards did you judge them? 

I have seen many such arguments, and no I have not seen one I found compelling, and any claims about the nature of the thing being argued for, would need themselves to be properly evidenced, else it's simply begging the question. I also am dubious you can argue anything into existence, without any objective evidence, since existence is defined as reflecting objective reality.

Still a lie, and the quote will be offered now every time you repeat that lie. Here it is again...

Quote:Quote:Quote:John 6IX Breezy


faith isn't blind belief, it is trust. And trust requires a context where you have good reasons to trust,
You have failed / refused to offer even a single reason, good or otherwise. hence the comedy gold of this mendacious pit you're digging.

A good few years back, on another forum, he claimed he had bested the entire scientific world, and falsified evolution. He claimed then to be an undergrad, in psychology is memory serves. When he was challenged as to why this paradigm shifting discovery had gone unnoticed by the entire scientific and theological world, he waffled something about not knowing how to properly publish his work, but that one of his professors was going to help him. before he was banned from the forum, I said I'd watch for the news that the scientific field of biology had been set back to naught...obviously this hasn't happened, quelle surprise. 

I do remember he refused over a long period, to answer whether he was a young earth creationist.

Thats why it's funny that GrandNudger brags about being on forums for a decade, as if the rest of the world hasn't also been online for over a decade.

I mean geez, you remember me from when I was probably a freshmen in college lol. I've gone to grad school for cognitive science in the years since. It's still psychology but incorporates fields like anthropology, computer science, philosophy, etc.

What's funny is that you believed you'd falsified evolution. The grandiose nature of the claim, rather stuck in the memory.
