Pope Francis defends atheists

[Esquilax]

I thought such discomforting thoughts would made you open to considering other possibilities.

Aw, come on! Is that the way you want to conduct your religious conversations? "It's not that it's true that makes it attractive, but that it's comforting!"

Appeals to emotion are the realm of hucksters and snake oil salesmen. If your claim is true then emotion isn't needed to convince people to be open about it.

People do not spend thousands of dollars on hearing aids unless they have a serious hearing problem. I saw him with hearing aids and I talk to him several times after he no longer needed them. I suppose you are going to say he is crazy too?

You know there's such a thing as temporary hearing loss and misdiagnosis, right?

I know what I saw and felt. You weren’t there, so how can you know?

You don't want to be using "were you there?' for things. I mean, you weren't physically present around a god when it decided to help, so by your own logic you have no grounds to claim a miracle.

God has His reasons for allowing suffering. Read John Paul II’s Salvifici Doloris for more information.

I submit to you that no reason could possibly be good enough, for a person in god's shoes.

Your wild assumption again.

And your claim that a divine being exercised space magic to suspend the laws of physical reality isn't a wild assumption?!
