Steven: I just have faith

Steven: See here in lies your fallacy. I have nothing to prove to you. And No reason to try. I have No burden of proof. I have faith. Simple. The Bible says the cross is foolishness to the non believing. As for the fact you are using other religions to argue there is No God is silly. It really boils down to Pascal's Wager.


Merphie:Its not a fallacy.    I care about what is true.   If you can't provide evidence for why something is true then you shouldn't believe it either.

The bible says a lot of things but it is pointless to argue about the meaning of a cherry picked verse until you can prove the bible is what you claim.

"you have faith" is another way to say you believe because you want to believe.   that has no value.

Maybe a better example would be a Mormon knocks on your door and tells you about the truth.  Will you just convert and follow Joseph smith?    I doubt it.  Why not?   he has the same reasons to believe that you do.  Is his faith somehow less?

Pascal's wager is worthless.   there are so many gods that the probability of picking the right one is higher than the lottery.   Catholics don't believe the same thing as protestants.   so picking the right sect is just as important as the right god.  In the end you are saying that god can't tell if you believe or just buying hell insurance.   which means he is gullible and can't be all powerful or all knowing.

You misunderstood what I said.   I asked how do you know the things you attribute to god are the Christian god?

How do you know god didn't tell Andrea Yates to kill her kids?
