Empirically supported "belief" is not belief the way these dickheads mean.
Every day of my life the sun has risen in the east. My expectation that it will rise there tomorrow is not based on "belief" but on accumulated evidence.
If it did not rise in the east THAT would be big fucking news.
I agree entirely.. If they went by real empirical support, they would know that their religion is a stolen, plagiarized, and evolved mutt from all the other religions and beliefs of that region.. I almost consider Christianity like the BORG to where it assimilates all the other religions as a means of resting control over them and dominating them into one religion... Just look at the Fount of Knowledge from the Orthodox Christians as it's basically an attempt to assimilate Pantheism.. And it's hilarious that Christians dub all the Pagan religions as evil ect when they are the ones practicing them.
