That isn't what I said. What I said was, you have to argue with fact and logic, not a belief because you can't make a point if the belief is not also shared by another individual.

still unclear

so, you think that your beliefs in god are logical? or does that not matter to you?

for example, would it be important to your belief system if the biblical story of jesus was found to be historically inaccurate? or does your faith depend "on being sure of what you wish for and certain of what you do not see"?

Yes, in that it can't be proven or disproven.

Depends on what the "inaccuracies" are. I'm alway sskeptical of revisionist histories, anyway, Historians agree that there was a Jesus in Nazareth that was a teacher and was crucified about the time of the years 1-33.

in fact, you kind of are

at least you have been in this thread


seriously, though, i think it'd be fun to see you guys debate on the existence of god or nature vs. nurture or something cool like that...i mean, if neither of you has lost an argument, it could go on perpetually...i think it'd be one of the best threads EVAR

Yeah, it sucks. I spend so much time arguing with my inferiors in Mr. Edwards' class about whether girls have cooties, that I rarely have time to post. Oh well, at least i've never lost.

I enjoy winning arguments against those who are less intellectually accomplished than me. This is why I love posting on Netphoria.
