  1.  @evolutionistheflyingspaghe2702  I’m guess you don’t understand or accept the scientific theory of evolution. Your world view doesn’t appear to be based on evidence.

  2.  @anthonygriffin1958  It’s obvious you lack to ability to reason when you suggest something that isn’t evidence can be considered evidence. Faith lacks any mechanism to differentiate whether any given belief is true or false. Faith can be used, however, to bolster one’s confidence in any belief, regardless of whether the belief is true or false. So Faith isn’t a pathway to truth. It is the active practice of deceiving one’s self into accepting something is true without verification of anything other than simple confirmation bias. It’s,obvious you’re overlooking the fact that while every religion cannot be correct, it is possible that every religion is wrong. More specifically God claims, or supernatural claims made by any given religion. When Pagans use faith, does that mean it’s the substance of things hoped for and evidence not seen? How about Hindus? Muslims? Mormons? Can an atheist have faith no gods exists? Is faith a good to endure one’s beliefs are true? Or is it a better way to accept false beliefs as true?

  3.  @anthonygriffin1958  Have you ever heard of the “No True Scotsman” fallacy?

  4.  @ziply123  Faith is the active practice of self deception. So I don’t have little faith. I choose not to deceive myself.

  5.  @dstarrII8442  Oh yeah? How does a God who doesn’t exist say anything?

  7.  @anthonygriffin1958  Wow. Yes. I skipped over “substance of things hoped for” as what people,hope for has no relevance as to whether or not it is true. The seas of a “true Christian” is a logical fallacy. No True Scotsman. Claiming prayers makes a difference in what your imaginary friend does is a claim, and again…not evidence. Saying a God,works,in mysterious ways only means that you don’t have answers you’re claiming to have. I noticed how you completely disregarded everything else in my response. If every religion uses faith, isn’t that evidence that faith is unreliable, or that each of the Gods they believe in also work in mysterious ways?

  8.  @anthonygriffin1958  Next question: Do you have a connection to reality?

  9. Gods that don’t exist can’t test anyone.

  11.  @anthonygriffin1958  Next question: Do you realize you’re projecting? Follow up question: Would you be able to demonstrate what you claim is fact?

  12.  @LaLadybug2011  Mostly because of all the harm religion does. After all, religion poisons everything. And, it’s not according to me. It’s according to reality. I wonder, were you sincerely curious, or were you virtue signaling?

  13. Religion truly poisons everything. So does MAGA.

  14. Gods that don’t exist can’t be quoted.

  15.  @ubermenchlicheman  I never suggested reality is just in your own head. Reality exists absence the mind. This doesn’t address whether those who claim to have a revelation is correct in their conclusion regarding that experience.

  16.  @MAGATriggeredLefty  He was disqualified due to asthma. And after a medical exam in April 1968, he received the "1-Y" classification, which meant he could only be drafted in a national emergency. This is different that Trump’s daddy paying a doctor to lie about bone spurs. Besides, Joe doesn’t refer to those who serve as losers, like Trump does.

  18.  @ICEAmericaFirst  How is Satan? Well, he’s equally a fictional as God. Thanos for asking.

  19.  @ubermenchlicheman  Yes, I’m sure. Just a Hindus would make a similar claim, right? And Pagans, right? What we need is a way to differentiate what is imagined from what exists in reality. How would we do this for your claim?
    1
  20.  @srlee3350  Not if he doesn’t exist in reality. Simply claiming a God exists is silly and gets us nowhere, since many different people claim many very different Gods exist. So what demonstration can be made to verify your claim?

  21.  @ubermenchlicheman  How is a “revelation” different than an Imaginary event? How could we measure the difference? Your over simplification is unconvincing. Even to you it is unconvincing, because you wouldn’t accept it from someone claiming to have revelation of Hindu Gods, right? Or Pagan Gods, right? Also, there was a time I did believe. I even attended Seminary. Your argument becomes even more problematic when you consider those who are sincerely seeking and never have such a revelation. What happens to those people who are not convinced God exists, and don’t receive a revelation? Eternal torment, through no fault of their own?

  22.  @ubermenchlicheman  There is reality, and then there are subjective experiences of reality. Some subjective experiences align with reality more than others. Nothing about that addresses how you differentiate what is imagined and what is real. For example, I think we can both imagine horses and unicorns. Which of these can be demonstrated to exist in reality?

  23.  @ubermenchlicheman  No offense, but I’m quite sure I don’t need a lecture from you on understanding reality. I’m more interested in dialog. You’ve not addressed the question I’ve asked repeatedly, however. We do have reliable ways to measure reality. Our most reliable method is science. Going back to the example I used earlier, I’m sure we can both imagine horses and unicorns. Which of these can be demonstrated to exist in reality? People are prone to both Type 1 and Type 2 errors. So we need a way to distinguish whether (for example) unicorns exist in reality, or if they are limited to the imagination. If it can’t be demonstrated in reality, it may very well just be imaginary. So I am asking what method could we use to differentiate whether any revelation is real or imaginary. Would,you agree that at least some people are convinced they experienced a revelation when they have not?

  24.  @ubermenchlicheman  You’re still lecturing and not thinking. My understanding of reality is not based strictly on my own subjectivity. That is a critical error on your behalf. I don’t rely strictly on my own subjectivity. I recognize methods that are designed to eliminate subjectivity and bias, which includes science. After all, it is not a subjective opinion that we are using science based computer devices, over a science based internet…and it objectively works. Hypothetically, if we see hoof prints in the snow and one person suggests they were made by a horse, and another person suggests they were made by a unicorn, which is more likely, and why?

  26.  @dpej5167  Yeah, I was just hoping they’d provide data to back up the claim. I’ll take a look for data since it’s grabbed my curiosity now. But headlines aren’t data. And as we know, they’re often build as click bait. Still, I’ve seen data reflecting a downturn of religiosity in America.
