I did't say that. Weakling did. Faith is pure reason, as proved in the statement about faith provided.

Now you have the choice to abandon reason, or join the thinking. Which will it be?
Could you rephrase that for my benefit? I really don't understand what you're trying to say at all
Sure. Empirical evidence is the record of one's direct observations or experiences. I don't need to reason that a chair I see in front of me exists. I can see and feel it.

Belief in God, conversely, is an entirely cerebral exercise. You can have no empirical evidence for him.

Well you seem to be demonstrating an inability to reason weakling.

Abandon reason (don't think) or join the thinking (do think)
