[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoy these threads and this forum, but it seems like almost every thread gets bogged down by people who don’t  believe in any religion. That’s completely fine; tons and tons of people don’t believe in God, gods, goddesses, religion, etc. [b]I have zero problem with people who aren’t religious.[/b] [/quote]

This is what you say in paragraph one, but then everything that follows exactly contradicts it.

[quote=Anonymous]
What sucks is they seem to be on a mission here to “prove” that all religions are false, people who practice religion (ie, the speaking in tongues thread) are mentally ill; and continually point out and comment they could never believe in such a cruel god that does various things that the god of Christianity does.[/quote]

They are just stating what they believe WRT religion.  The same right that you have here. No difference.

[quote=Anonymous]Got it. Duly noted. You are an atheist and don’t like Christianity or any religion for that matter. You want proof of everything to believe in it. Double check mark. We all know your non-beliefs very well.[/quote]

And we know yours just as well.  In fact, I suspect probably better.

[quote=Anonymous]Now: God doesn’t reveal himself because Christianity relies on faith; believing in the absence of proof. Asking continually for proof of everything is in direct opposition to the core beliefs of Christianity. So although you may be of the opinion that proof is the gold standard of belief, that is not what Christianity is defined by. Anybody can believe something that is proven; but believing in something that there is no proof for, is the very definition of faith. So if you need proof God exists, you don’t have faith. Which isn’t a bad thing, you just aren’t a Christian. [/quote]

And this brings us back to the same unanswerable (by you) question?  [b]What couldn't you believe on faith?[/b]
