I do know what faith is all about, because I have faith. However, it is an indivdual experience and therefore I cannot explain it to you in a way that would be meaingful, someone without faith. And for you to claim you have a better understanding of faith then I do is very arrogant. It is like claiming to be an expert on marijuana without having ever smoked it. It is ridiculous.
I am glad that I have enlightened you some about the skeptical Christian mindset. But please understand, I cannot give you all of the answers on Christianity. Only you can do that. I found my answers, and you must find yours. My understanding of Christianity, however, is based on my experience with God in the real world. The stories do not have to be plausible, they just need to get their message across.
Faith: The belief in something without evidence...Do you see your flaw here? And how can I find something that has been proven false? Even by yourself, you just cover it up using words like "It's not literal." Well guess what, I think everything about your religion is not literal. Can you disprove me with evidence? I don't want any of your "faith" crap please.
Let me quickly mention something. Where is your evidence that your God exists?
