[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To genuinely engage with Christian’s is to accept that faith is a reliable source of truth to them without resorting to insults[/quote]

Is questioning the validity of the belief or asking for evidence of it an "insult"?

And comparing your god to other gods neither of us believe in - is that an "insult"?

Those are two questions and I genuinely would like them answered.[/quote]

Still hoping for a response here.[/quote]

It is insulting to jump to the Santa/Easter bunny when discussing religious belief without recognizing how very different a childish belief is from a person’s faith. It is insulting to continue to ask for evidence when faith has already been given as the answer. It is not insulting to discuss religions with the accepted premise that one believes based on faith and one disbelieves based on lack of evidence. [/quote]

DP - thanks for this response.  How is a childish belief, as you call it, in Santa, different from reigious faith?[/quote]

This is an insulting question because you have already presumed that believing in Santa is the same as believing in god. Many many people do not agree with you about that. Those billions of people throughout time have their reasons that I alone cannot explain but they have been documented. I am only suggesting how not to be insulting. [/quote]
