NOT FACING REALITY
I am genuinely intrigued by those who claim to have faith. I am genuinely baffled by those who claim to have faith in things that they also claim are evidenced.
Faith is a belief without proof, that is a belief without objective verifiable evidence.
It does not mean there is no "evidence" just that there is no objective verifiable evidence.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?
Where God is considered...YOU WANT...objective verifiable evidence.
So give me the objective verifiable evidence you have that your parents are biologically related to you, or that your children are biologically related to you.(you don't have any)
DO NOT TELL ME YOUR PARENTS OR YOUR WIFE SAID THIS WAS TRUE!
They could have told you God existed as well. So exactly why do you believe some things they tell you but not others. You have NO objective verifiable evidence either way.
WHY exactly is it OK for you to run your life this way on your faith considering your parents or your children, but it is irrational or delusional for people to do this when they consider their personal expierence in relation to a "God".
Faith has great evolutionary advantages.......it allows you to take advantage of the expierences of others without having to expierence it all yourself. You don't have enough time to do that.
You cannot test and prove everything people tell you, and if you think you are actually running your life that way, YOU ARE A FOOL!
Only two groups on this board have evereything in this universe figured out, the nut bag born again Christians and the nut bag born again Atheists.
Psychologically they are basically the same.

Re: NOT FACING REALITY
somewhat off topic
Precognition
Straggler like the other atheists on this board will ignore and not answer this question I asked:
"So give me the objective verifiable evidence you have that your parents are biologically related to you, or that your children are biologically related to you.(you don't have any)"
They won't answer, because it shows they run their life on faith/belief just like the people who believe in God.
Straggler can't do this .......HE RUNS EVERY ASPECT OF HIS LIFE ON OBJECTIVE VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE. (what a joke)
