No... I'm just saying that without a valid reason to believe then the hope/positivity is a placebo at best.
And thank you for answering my question about the evidence that you do believe we have, I feel we may even understand each other a bit better finally (or at least me you).
I can't understand how you consider the Bible evidence. But at least you now say that its evidence to you. Because to say you have reasons to believe and it's more than just a placebo and yet you don't have any evidence is a contradiction and seems confusing to me. I'm glad you cleared that up for me. And for me to try and keep it clear: Remember, when I'm asking for evidence: I'm just asking for evidence. I didn't say empirical or whatever. I'm not going to ask you for forms of evidence that you don't believe to be possible in the matter of God anyway (for God is unfalsifiable and hence, unreachable by science, etc.,).
Thank you for your sensible post. We define faith differently, but other than that: Nice post - thanks for making things a bit less unclear lol.
