Ok I admit it

Because I've heard so many stories already demonstrating his power.

Open a book of Norse legends sometime and see how many stories there are of Odin demonstrating his!

Stories are just stories, without evidence.

There's clearly something more at work. About 90% of the world firmly believe there's some kind of God, wheras the "Flat Earth Society" accounts for an uncalculatably small amount of the world's population.

So was there something more at work in the theory of the flat earth when ninety percent of the world believed that was true? Or was it still incorrect, even then?

Well so many people base their entire lives around it, that must be wrong right?

Well, I certainly think it's irrational to do so.

I really wish I could get my parents or someone from our church on here. There's a guy my dad is friends with who spends almost every waking moment with the Bible.

We'll welcome anyone who comes on, so long as they do so in the spirit of discussion and not preaching. Your acquaintances are as welcome as anyone else.

But the whole point of religion is to have faith, which is believing without evidence. If there was evidence, there'd be no point to faith.

What's so great about faith? You can use faith to justify anything, which just means it's not useful in justifying anything. You can have faith in a giant rooster that farted the world into existence seven minutes ago, that doesn't make it true.
