It's a faith of, "I'm going to believe it because I want to believe it." If no 'evidence' is required for that faith, then you can pretty much have faith in anything you choose to.

LostLocke: My advice to you is to continue searching for truth through historical secular documents from respected sources in any library or the internet, I can recommend you researching about the Inquisition, the Christian life during the times of Nero and Christianity in the times of Constantine.

Why do they always point at Constantine as proof Jesus took down mighty Rome. Rome didn't fall because of Jesus nor did it convert to Christianity because of Jesus. Rome had long since been spreading itself out too far and would have fallen to a new power even if Christianity had not grown. Constantine converted for political expedience.
Just like Egypt went from polytheism to Islam. Old ways and powers get old new ways and new powers take over. NO magic or gods involved.
Also not to mention if a real man named Jesus existed OUTSIDE that comic book, the Romans were apt census takers and would have taken notice of an upstart challenging their power. However, in REAL history, outside that comic book, there is no mention of that alleged character in Roman history during what the bible claims as when he existed. The first Gospels were not even written until way after his alleged death. And please don't bring up Josephus.
Not to mention magic babies don't happen. It requires two sets of DNA to make a baby.

Thanks so much. And just in case it is I who see the right of it and you who are mistaken in this regard, don't feel too bad. Once you're dead, you won't know that you're compost. Obviously it is your time to believe fantastic things without evidence. Enjoy that.

You are saying you don't need 'evidence', but now you are telling me to look for evidence.

Jose, if you want something more cleaver try defending that comic book with science. Like claiming Aquinas new about modern Quantum Mechanics. Or maybe do what I've seen Muslims do, quote a Koran vs to prove they knew about a red Nebula. Or you can even try to justify the flood with science, seen that too.

That's nice.
So was it the big G.O.D. that turned you away from being a paedophile?

There is no "cure" for those sort of desires.

Raping children is not a "habit." Smoking is a habit. Wearing a team jersey to games is a habit.

Perhaps you could elucidate the true character of God that the societies we come from have failed to.

Have you ever been visited by invisible entities at night or dawn? If you have been visited at night or feel as If someone invisible is spying on you at night or having sexual dreams you are being visited by the succubus demon. There has been a lot of witnesses about this.
I'm having a hard time taking accusations of fornication seriously from someone who admits to fantasizing about molesting children.
