The ones who promise "all" the physical miracles, wonders you "ask" for, for example (John 14.13).

Just have your priest ask for a giant physical miracle, now. And then? Observe that your deity does not seem to exist; the things promised do not appear.

It is very difficult to embrace humility. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #5

True humility would be to refrain from characterizing people incorrectly. trotsky Mar 2017 #6

Is that why all those Christian edhopper Mar 2017 #10

You must ask them. I cannot answer for them. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #11

I am not an atheist, but I can define what a belief is. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #35

You did the math and defined belief Lordquinton Mar 2017 #36

This has been explained to you multiple times, yet you persist in pretending not to know. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #51

He gets to choose the definition that pleases him. trotsky Mar 2017 #53

Also nonsense. Mean Time Between Failures. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #55

Are you describing engineering knowledge? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #57

No, because we were talking about belief, not gnosticism. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #59

And you remain wrong. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #39
