Faith = believing without evidence
You can have faith that God is right next to me.
Faith is Christianity's most brilliant con. It means you just have to believe whatever you are told and they don't have to give you a shred of evidence. And if you don't believe, you are bad because you don't have faith.
The Bible is replete with evidence and the more they dig up sites in the middle east the more evidence they find in support of the folks and locations talked about in the Bible.
The the most compelling for me is the effect that God has in the lives of those who believe that I've had the displeasure of knowing before they came to Christ.
Faith in Christ (not christianity) most definitely, Not a con. Religion is a con.
Jesus, the cross, God and the Holly Spirit are real. His Word is real, I'll prove it.....go to the book store and order or buy a Bible....it exists and it is the infallible Word of the one True God.
And if God or one of his angels were there next to you right now you'd probably shit yourself in fear, so please from hear on try to carry on an adult conversation without lying about God who apparently you don't even believe in.
