[ARCHIVED] - Evidence Vs Faith

[Edwardo Piet]

I'm not being petty at all. If it's proof in any way then it's extremely strong evidence. And if all it is is an assumption, then that's like the opposite of proof almost - an assumption does nothing on it's own, and if the arguments are all followed from the assumption, then the arguments do nothing if the assumption has no basis.

Yes, you have told me that your belief is rational. I'm yet to see you explain how it can be though - because you haven't explained why the fact there can't be evidence in your view, means that it's rational to believe without it, despite the fact there's a shitload of things without evidence, that you clearly - just as I do - don't believe in because they have no support, they're without evidence.

You say it's rational to believe in God when there's no evidence, but there are many things without evidence....not just God. So what's up there?

Is it because God is unprovable according to you? Because how can that be the case, if there's other unprovable things too (such as other Gods!) that you don't believe in? How are you rationalizing that?

You say I won't understand it because if I did I'd adopt your conclusion, I could just as easily say the same to you though.
