Theists, what does faith mean to you?

RE: Theists, what does faith mean to you?
Quote:With all respect, but who are you to say what can and cannot be evidence for me?

You are far from the first to make that weak argument.

The problem is that while you may buy it you have no way of convincing us of its veracity.  Thus, if you claim the holy spirit pooped on your head you might really believe it but  I would find an errant pigeon a far more likely suspect.

Perhaps you believe that you can win the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes if you don't buy a magazine?

Perhaps you believe that billionaire republicunt politicians are really "looking out for the little guy?"

Perhaps you believe that Saddam Hussein really was working on a nuclear bomb?

Your beliefs may convince you but they do not convince me.  For all I know, you might be nuts! 

Now, were you to suddenly pop in here and announce that allah had whispered in your ear that would be a bit out of your normal xtian comfort zone and so perhaps worth taking a deeper investigation.  I would suspect some sort of medical issue before ascribing anything to the supernatural.

But "evidence" is worthless if all you can do with it is convince yourself of what you already believe.
