Whether if I have to repeat myself or not I'm going to keep asking christian fundamentalists/other religious fundamentalists to provide evidence for their claims.
Since they seem to keep making the same claims, I'm going to keep asking for evidence. Because in my opinion, I now have decided if they're not going to try and provide any evidence, then there's no point me going into detail trying to explain things to them...because I seem to always get the same BS type of reply. If decided that if they choose to refuse to need evidence, and to play the 'faith card', we're just not going to agree untill they understand that evidence is important.
And it just seems almost impossible to explain why evidence is important if they don't need it. Also, often they think the bible is evidence of God, and just the fact it says its true, is NOT evidence...they're going to have to do better than that. And personal experience is NOT evidence. The evidence has to be demonstrated, and it has to be evidence that can be scientifically tested by the scientific method.
These fundies just don't have any idea what evidence is. Or they refuse to see how important it is. And if they understood evidence and considered it important, and treated it as important. They wouldn't be fundies would they? Thats what fundies are, those who don't need evidence. Those who think they KNOW they are right, that they can't be wrong. They have faith and they don't think they need evidence/they don't understand it.
So basically, fundies, "show me da evidence."
And even if you're not a fundie, and you're a religious moderate, we can atleast have a more reasonable conversation...but still, please "show me da evidence" anyway.
Believe it or not, but you moderates/deists still need to show me evidence if we're going to converse further atleast.
For evidence, not faith.
