1) Faith is different than religion. I am actually opposed to many “religious” practices b/c they can become rote and hollow.

Aren't they all?

2) Do you believe in air? Can you see it? Taste it? Smell it? What about a thought? Can you see that?

Of course I can see air. I can also measure it, break it down into its constituent parts, etc., etc.

A thought? Belief in Despator or Elohim is a thought isn't it? Does that make Despator real?

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Is that your evidence that despator or Allah exists? Really I was hoping for more from you : (

Non-belief is a thought also. That does not make God unreal.

My belief is based upon years of experience. The quote is an accepted definition of faith for Christians.

And I do not equate “despator” or Allah to Elohim/Jehovah/YHWH. Your equation of them shows your apparent goal.

The attempt at riling me up has failed. I am not thin skinned, if I were I would not be on RF.

G’day Troll.
