Whether you believe it to be so or not, Catholics are as Christian as any other Christian cult.What a pile of crock. If we're courting opinion exclusively from those who can't know, then the possibilities are endless. C'mon Kyu you can do better than this.

If it's just faith, no problem (I disagree but no issue) but you somehow twist that to say that is exactly what is expected and implicitly claim it's positive evidence for your god.I don't maintain that it's positive evidence of my deity at all! What nonsense! Have you listened to yourself lately? Lack of empirical evidence supports what the Bible says, and what I believe to be true about empirical evidence.
Now please explain to me how that proves in the slightest that God exists. Or how I say anywhere that it does.
All it debunks is the mindless assertion that empirical evidence is required to prove Gods existence when talking about Christian faith.
