Coreece 190 #177 January 7, 2012 That's not true in this case, but yes I do tend be ambiguous at times, primarily to see how various people preceive certain ideas...sometimes those preceptions catch me by suprise.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

BoogeyMan 0 #179 January 7, 2012 QuoteAs far as this forum is concerned I am ambivalent. But when looked at logically there is no logical support for the religious side of the argument. If there were then there would be no need for faith. If you can look at the whole picture dispassionately and use proper logic and critical thinking you would see this to be true. Why do you say "...you would see this to be true." I have not expressed a preference either way. I do like the field of physics, tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beowulf 1 #185 January 7, 2012 In the context being discussed definition 2 and 3 is relevent. No assurances there. Not sure why you can't comprehend that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beowulf 1 #189 January 7, 2012 You didn't really agree with me. You instead came up with your own definition of faith in what appears to be an attempt to give religious faith more credence. Redefining words is what I find most annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,255 #193 January 7, 2012 QuoteRe-reading all of this post, it occurs that the anti-religion-ers are so demanding of proof, In a thread started with the declared intention of providing evidence proving beyond reasonable doubt that god exists? How very unreasonable of us to ask what it is! Quoteone might draw the conclusion that the strident calls for proof may define the fear of "What if I'm wrong". One could, but one would be wrong.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
