Christians. Could you be wrong?

[C4RM5]

No, I'm not a rebel, I am quite a quiet person so I sit and listen for questions I had being answered. Any way, I go to a Bible class in my church and generally what is being talked about is explained in such away that I don't have any questions.

Is that the outcome you were looking for? Assuaging your doubts/questions?

But, if that's true, in what sense did you think you are a 'skeptic'?

As in I think about questions but I never ask about them. Unless it is really on my nerves.

I don't really have an arguement other than these believe has changed my life, so in your sense I don't believe based on evidence.

There's no "in a sense" about it: you believe because you want to believe, and all your pretense to evidence is just a smokescreen to lend legitimacy to the fact that you really believe because it feels good.

I hate to tell you, though, but how a belief makes you personally feel doesn't impact its truth value, nor does the impact it has had on your life. A successful conman doesn't suddenly have all his cons rendered truthful exchanges just because the effects of them positively impacted his life. Lies and falsehoods can do plenty of good for one's personal motivation, but they don't become true because of that.

And I think you'll find it's terribly easy to keep the positive changes, and shuck the untruths. There is nothing in those tales of magic that's actually doing anything for you.

Can we not just have a mutual agreement. You have your beliefs and I have mine.
