You'll learn. You'll learn quickly. Oh, and @ Brent: You mean this post? "EVERY THREAD ENDS THE SAME NO POINT EVER FAITH = BELIEF WITHOUT LOGICAL EVIDENCE LOGIC = FACTUAL REASON FOR BELIEF INCOMPATIBLE, IRRECONCILABLE, AND INCONCEIVABLY INDIFFERENT TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE INDEPENDENT THOUGHT PROCESSES OF EACH OTHER, TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE OPTIONS IN THE "A" OR "B" MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST THAT IS LIFE. THERE IS NO POINT IN ARGUING, NO POINT IN DEBATING, AND NO POINT IN TRYING TO CONVINCE ONE ANOTHER OF THE IRREFUTABLE PURPOSE IN ADOPTING ONE OR THE OTHER AS THEIR PERSONAL WAY OF DEDUCTION OF WHAT IS TRUE. THEREFORE, I NOW GRACIOUSLY EXTEND TO EVERYONE IN THIS ENTIRE SECTION OF THE FORUM, BEFORE, NOW, AND AFTER, A WARM AND HEARTY SHUT THE f**k UP." What is this section of the forum? It is faith, beliefs, and opinions. If you are looking to discuss things with concrete evidence, this is the last place you should look. No one is saying their arguments can prove God, they are just stating their faith, beliefs, and opinions as are those with contrary opinions. I welcome anything along those topics you have to say, and I would hate to see those with contrary opinions to mine silenced. So, if you don't want to discuss opinions with people who have other viewpoints, why are you here? And why are you so upset about us fulfilling the purpose of this section of the forum?

Even though I have not been here very long, I have noticed that to be true. I really don't care if anyone curses, hisses, or taunts what I have to say...but for goodness sake, the subject is "What's your 'faith'?"! I didn't think it meant "let's see who is wrong according to my standard." Point being, I agree with Patrick. This is a place for opinions, not facts.

Couldn't you just apply what your saying to all wisdom? After all, ignorance is bliss. Except ignorance is about knowledge and not wisdom. I'm just trying to say being wise for the sake of being wise (philosophy after all means 'love of wisdom' in Greek) is vane. I'm also claiming a lot of (BUT NOT ALL) philosophy doesn't seem to serve any real purpose, other than being wise, as far as I'm concerned and thus I find it vane.

Read Proverbs. It states that wisdom is the principal thing, and in all your getting, get wisdom and lay hold of understanding. One's philosophy is the way that person views life. It serves incredible purpose, and wisdom is absolutely necessary to build a solid worldview.

Here's an idea: be there when things happen, understand the relevance of those events, and then make comments that actually apply to them in order to not look like a total idiot, i.e., the opposite of what you just did.

I've read through most if not every post in this thread. If you think I missed something important, I would be happy to have you enlighten me. What was the relevance of your post? It seemed pretty self-explanatory to me.

Oh sorry, I thought that that was a part of your argument. I should have read more carefully.

The internet is awesome. Probably the best thing ever.
And only supernatural beings cannot be proven!
