But perhaps you'll understand why I ignore it, we're talking about the etymology of faith and belief. I clearly showed you where they are not mutually exclusive and for the third time you ignore it. Very intellectually dishonest. Then you ask for material (show me/ let me see it) evidence for the immaterial. Capped off with an emotional appeal about kids dying... really this isn't worth anymore of my time. Stick to the topic and show some courage and conviction of ideals before we discuss again, maybe then I'll answer more questions.
