What would you do if you found out God existed

[Harry Nevis]

I am not a flippin' flippin' heathen!

I'm a flippin' flippant heathen!

Faith means just that You understand that there are bits of information that cannot be comprehended at once.

Compare it to downloading lots of files that have been divided and packed in winrar. Unless You download all files of a given set, then extract it, then install it - and then the program can be run. Faith is the believe that if You follow certain instructions the end effect will be as promised.

Ahh, another definition of "faith".

Confidence in what we know exists and confidence in in similar outcomes from prior observations is not faith.  It in no way is related to belief without evidence.

You have to remember that the greatest gift of existence is the possibility of love. Try to imagine what happens if You force somebody to love something or somebody else. Does that work? Free will is so important because of that reason. The value of love is so great that even allowing billions of idiots to exist is worth it (God gave people the potential for wisdom, and still they chose ignorance - but if it were to be forced upon them, love could not occur, since it can only exist under the conditions of free will). Love cannot be bought and requires lots of time to learn, but brings great reward to those who care to find out what it is.

Yada yada yada.  Please, tell us more about this thing called "love"...

If you want to talk about love..fine, let;s talk about love.  If you want to talk about free will, fine, let;s talk about free will.  If you want to talk about an objective reality, fine..lets talk about an objective reality.

However, if you want to talk about fairies and ghosts and torture chambers......then what do fairies and ghosts and torture chambers have to do with any of the above?

It's as if there was a branch of knowledge like mathematics and You do not want to use numbers as they have been used for centuries, because You call arabic number faries, insisting that only Your system of numeration, that is in no way better is the only right one.
It does not matter if You say x=2 or z=2 if a function is expressed as y=ax+b or y=az+b and x=z.

Or if somebody where to express an idea in German You would not dare say that the idea is wrong just because it was expressed in a different language.

It's disgrace for the human species, we are just falling.

We are failing, partly because people equate mythology with facts, emotional reactions with truth and choosing feeling good over critical thinking.  That, and greed.
