The problem with many is they do not understand not comprehend the fine lines of that which is FAITH.
You have people in here saying "there is absolutely no man on this earth that has ever spoke to 'God'"--
Lets speak concrete here, WHO THE fukk are you to say something like that? What knowledge do you have, what experience you have of the entirety of humanity and its existence to say with absolute authority such a thing?
You say Christians simply blindly believe something because they are tols it. Then, we sit here and hear you debate and speak on sciences theory and the likes and you declare it as absolute fact.
Have YOU proven these theories?
Have YOU observed these 'truths' shoved down your throats since elementary school?
You cannot testify of anything but of what has been backed by society.
Yet SINCE WHEN HAS TRUTH BEEN MEASURED IN MASS APPEAL?
History has demonstrated to you time and time again what was percieved as 99% true has been later declared extremely false.
going back to @BelowTheMasonDixon who proclaimed what he did. Is not that very proclamation AND what is taught in sciences not the very meaning of faith?
None of which we are taught in universities institutions or even churches are 100% verifiable.
In the visions of the night are you not sooo soo sure that its real? It is not until you awake do you realize the contrary. But then again you do vice versa in this plane of 'reality'. Begs the question IS THIS plane even utter reality.
In all, you do not know shyt. You choose who to call credible you choose whom to believe. That is FAITH.
The difference is you were presented with one, science. That same science is a rhetoric heavy in logos, which is widely accepted by modern society. This same science is steeped deep in complex rhetoric so much so that you find it more believable.
You can absolutely prove nothing.
It's progenitors can absolutely prove nothing.
The Bible proves nothing.
All of the above simply present arguments.
None can absolutely say anything.
But one cared more about proving it to you therefore bringing a more 'believable' argument.
But how did you make that jump from most likely to 'it is'?
FAITH.
Understand that. Understand that whether you believe in Jesus Christ, or you believe in the theories of modern science. It is because you believe. You are putting faith that the Bible isn't a lie. You are putting faith that an extra drop of element was not erroneously dropped into the test tube corrupting the entire experiment.
You are putting faith in a higher power you cannot conceive. Or you are putting faith in human error was never a factor in the theories of modern science.
Humble your tongue and know that if anything is, it is of FAITH.
Atheists and all who stand against a 'God' are so arrogant they end up showing their sheer stupidity.
Stand behind whom you will, because whom you will to stand behind, know that you are performing a leap of faith in their perfection.
BREH!
Stop bullshytting breh.
How are atheists in any way more arrogant or prone to blind trust than Christians?
You are right that very little if anything can be said with 100% certainty. Maybe there is a god that created this world with little evidence to support his existence and is in line with what one out of the thousands of ancient contradictory texts regarding deities says (the one you prefer no doubt).
Or it could be what the Muslims say or the Buddhists or the Hindus.
We keep going down this line of thought and all truth is subjective and nothing can be known. You're going down this road to necessitate faith, but you're really showing how purposeless it all seems to be. You're destroying belief, not just in the countless spirits and creator myths, but also progress of any kind, scientific or otherwise. It's an abyss. If there is any truth to be found, part of the obstacle is the selfish clouding the path with their preferences and presumptions.
So who am I more likely to believe? Who is more in line with truth? People who admit they don't know but do the best with what they have? Or the man screaming his personal god is true and above question?
An atheist who questions and challenges other's perception of God seems far more virtuous than someone who puts faith in a god that created a world where immense suffering was feasible and even brutally punishes inferior life forms that don't adhere to his will.
