I was just about waiting for you to degenerate to this level, no offence meant. You have basically admitted that there is no proof but you believe it for personal reasons, because it seems right. God's malevolence is staring at you in the face and you put a mask on it and say something unfounded to cover it up. I just CANNOT prove anything to you now. I am using the BIBLE the book you claim is 100% true, to prove something to you, and you claim something that isn't really in it, and say that you have FAITH that it happened. Well, I also have FAITH that invisible pink unicorns exist. That doesn't make me right.

There IS proof, but once again, you would claim that it's false, and cooked up by the Church. You'd claim it was all just lies. i tried to show proof earlier in the forum (i.e. the incorruptibility) and Hrae dismissed it as nothing more as wax dolls. He has no proof of them being wax, but he insists that it's just a lie cooked up by the church. It gives the feeling that no matter what proof i give you, you'll just deny its credibility with no real credibility of your own.
However, I dont see how it is that a being who sent himself to be tortured and killed in one of the most horrible ways imaginable to free US is Malevolent.
And you dont really have faith in that; you're using that as an example to how you feel religion is ridiculous. However, you could take that, and say that your faith in the invisible pink unicorn gods/goddesses is nothing more than your soul making an attempt to call out to God, and that he sees and accepts that.
