faith or evidence
Some people do not asses their beliefs because they have faith and don't require evidence - like me.
Which is fine Mike. Unless like Crash you were indoctrinated with the idea that the faith had to be destroyed if there was evidence against it. And the literalists indoctrinate with ideas that are subject not just to faith, but also to tests of evidence.
Those who indoctrinate with such ideas instead of sticking to faith are those who destroy faith in those who use their minds to think with.

I am not sure if it is debate or compulsion sometimes, but I am glad to know that there are other people like myself. And thanks for the compliment, BTW.

Yes, maybe these people over-emphasize the relevance of evidence. I know what you mean though Ned, as you changed me from a yec to a Creationist, who is not that bothered about how the Creation came about anymore. Where I live, no such people exist who claim no evidence = no faith, maybe that's why I can keep my faith easier than Crash, who knows.....

No probs..............Yes, compulsions can be awful, though personally I like this forum because I can preach easily to my victims. It's more of a habit with me, though sometimes I can refrain for quite a while.

Actually, it's digital. Alas, it only has a 256 bit capacity.
I could move this topic to the "Miscellaneous" forum, and then close it down, but I don't think I'll bother with the move part.
