And you completely missed the point Fr0d0. You're so hypocritical and you don't even see it. When you say something like "With faith it makes sense", you are doing just that, dismissing without thought. Every time we bring up valid points, you wiggle out with words like that.

You look so lovely in that pic E *sighs* Wink

No, I state the basic point but have seriously considered it thoroughly. Faith is a very interesting subject. What I, and I think anyone should object to are crass generalisations from ignorance.

Dismissing thought and reason over faith is in my view a greater sin.That is if the concept of sin existed since I neither accept it nor acknowledge it.It is used here for illustration purposes only.

Faith requires the ultimate reasoning. Evidential fact requires none. All you will consider is evidential fact - who is the most thoughtless and rational between us?

No mate, Faith requires acceptance of someone else's reasoning without verifying it as truth.

Who is the most thoughtless: Fr0d0
Who is the most rational: Almost anyone who is not Fr0d0

It is impossible to verify this truth VOID. It is not verifiable. You believe in stuff you can empirically evidence. No thought required. That's fine, you just have no right to demand other have to stop thinking.

Fr0d0 you stopped thinking when you accepted Christianity as truth basing yourself on the principle of faith.To say that your so called truth is unverifiable just solidifies my contentions even more.

Not sure if this is what you're saying but restating a point made that is valid and is being ignored and/or side-stepped is anything but pointless.

Apologies if I misread your remark.
