An inference is when someone is sharp enough to see you trying to slip an idea in without owning it -- kinda like you're doing here when you try to equivocate an implication with a claim.
As long as there's no quote of me saying what you guys claim, then I'm happy. The best you found was me explaining that faith is trust and that's not good enough.
That's still a lie.
Quote:Quote:John 6IX Breezy
faith isn't blind belief, it is trust. And trust requires a context where you have good reasons to trust,
One can look in the dictionary and see that religious faith is defined as a belief.
faith
noun
2. strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof.
Would you like a quote of you refusing to offer a single reason, good or otherwise, because no one will accept your bare claim that your imaginary deity, is possible?
If you had any good reasons for your blind faith in a deity, you'd offer them, so you have resorted to dishonest semantics, as I said you would, to deflect from that fact.
One is irresistibly reminded of a small child, who having been caught misbehaving, thinks it can hide by not meeting their parents gaze. Except of course their innocence makes it endearing, whereas your display is simply cringeworthy.
