I mostly believed Christianity briefly recently... you know what hurt the most?

First it must be demonstrated that the product exists before we can even approach whether it's necessary, or even desirable.

Actually no. Products are advertised and sold all the time that do not exist. x-ray specs as found in the back of old comic books and 99% of everything in my spam folder come right to mind right off.

'We'(christianity) do not have to prove anything as that is God's responsiablity. Our only task is to tell whom ever seeks out God where and how to look.
