Ahhhh! But that is where my faith comes into play. I read the Bible and it tells me he loves me and you regardless of whether or not my views are erroneous. 8 * )

Ohhhh! I see, you just have to have faith. And if you have faith it's automatically true. Nice trick ;-D

You seem to be getting a bit defensive so I will leave you be. Enjoyed the discussion, tho.

Huh, defensive?

Maybe I misinterpreted.

But you're right. Christianity does come down to faith if you don't accept any of the other evidence, ie. the mideast situation, the historical accuracy of the Bible, the fact that the Bible was written by different men over thousands of years, the Bible itself, I mean Revelation predicts the whole world seeing two men lying in the street in Jerusalem. How could anyone in Christ's time have had any idea that would ever be possible? Daniel's words, "knowledge shall be increased...many shall run to and fro" and so on and so forth.

Atheism requires an active belief system. Since no absolute evidence refutes God’s existence, one is required to reject (and reject and reject). A belief without absolute facts requires faith. Does your faith and belief make it true?
