I lost count of the number of times Cofty misquoted me, or stated that I said things that I didn't. That starts to get ridiculous. - Flamegrilled
I totally reject that accusation. What I have done repeatedly is to paraphrase your points in ways that you may find unflattering. I have never wilfully made it sound as if you said something unless I genuinely believed that was your position.
You are resorting to whinging to avoid answering the hard questions.
If the unecessary drowning of a quarter of a million innocent people doesn't give you pause to more thoroughly examine your faith what would?
Acknowledging that there are missing pieces to a puzzle does not make the entire thing a mystery. If it did we would have to write-off some very important areas of human knowledge.
Yes but if somebody continues to push a hypothesis long after overwhelming evidence to the contrary has been presented its time to give it up.
As I said above, the evidence that convinced me there was a loving god was, the design of nature, the resurrection of Jesus, the prophecy, accuracy and truthfulness of the bible as well as many personal experiences in my life.
The tsunami was so blatantly contrary to the concept of a loving deity that I was honest enough to look objectively at all these reasons. It was a long and painful process.
You have taken the path of blind faith where absolutely nothing would count as evidence against your presuppositions.
Are there reasons for your belief in god in addition to the ones I mentioned, or are some of those less important to you?
