Half the theists are too indoctrinated to believe anything but what has been taught to them. So many might have even experienced cognitive dissonance but chose to go back to what they are comfortable with. It's kind of frustrating.

No more so, than I can't see God, therfore must be it doesn't exist.

@UserNameSW belief has nothing to do with it, something either exists or it doesn't. The universe doesn't care about your beliefs or feelings.
@UserNameSW
Are you justified in believe something exists solely on the basis that it can't be proven not to?

@Pikachu people belive many things for many reasons. Not my place to tell people what to belive, how to belive, or why to belive.
Facts are important. Science and human knowledge are constantly improving.
As more is proven and confirmed people change their knowledge base.

These always get derailed. Lol

I don’t know that faith is really about truth. It sort of creates its own truth and like everything else human, the result runs the gamut from beautiful to horrific. Someone who finds their truth elsewhere will never dent that faith. We all walk different paths so I think justification is a fruitless objective.

That question has already been answered. Why do you need to have answered again? Do you want to become a disciple of Jesus?
@GodSpeed63
No it has not been answered. At least not by you.
If you recall, the best response you managed was "God gives the answer in His time and in His way."
This does not in any way answer the question of this thread nor the last.
I have not asked "how does god give us answers" which is the question you appear to have answered.
If you feel that this [i]does[/i] sufficiently answer the question then please elaborate on how.
Last time you i asked you to clarify this, you just stopped replying which sort of feels like it tells us all we need to know there.
Nevertheless, i'd like to give you the opportunity to make your case.

Throwing another tantrum are you? Listen dude, you want respect, then respect and quit acting worse than jackass. You attract more bees with honey than you do with vinegar, remember that. As you say, strike three, you're out.

Hmmm. Disagreeing that you have supplied a pertinent answer is an awfully low bar for "tantrum", wouldn't you say? Sort of seems more like a deflection from having to respond meaningfully to what i said.
Is it disrespectful to explain to you why your answer was not in fact germane to the question? Was it disrespectful to offer you the opportunity to clarify why you felt that your answer [i]was[/i] appropriate? Again, you seem to be setting a very low bar.
And look, i know the strike system upsets you, but there are rules to it.
You've got to start with strike one. You'll agree that i always offer you that courtesy😉
Buuuut it seems pretty plain that you're unable to hold up your side of the debate here. Or, if i'm being charitable, just unwilling.
Either way, please don't feel compelled to reply unless you're prepared to at least attempt to engage with me in an intellectually honest manner.

Your previous question had the word "train" in it. Is that the one that kind of got derailed?
