Why are you putting the word believe in quotation marks?

Because in discussions about whether or not gods exist...a "belief" seems to me to be nothing but a blind guess in disguise.

You may not agree with that. Okay with me.

But I feel so strongly about it, I choose to encase the word in quote marks.

Can you please make your case for how “belief” and “guess” are synonymous? I’m still waiting on the edge of my seat for that “schooling” you promised me.

What do you “blindly guess” about Santa Clause?
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
