People do it all of the time. We can even be convinced to go to war with no evidence for the need to do so.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Operative word: Convinced. You see, no one can just decide to believe something. Belief requires being convinced. For rational people, the thing that convinces is usually evidence.

How convenient for him. And how utterly irrelevant, if that is the case.
I understand that our sun will eventually exhaust its supplies of fuel and that our planetary system will collapse. The eventuality of that event, billions of years from now, has as much urgency as those vague pronouncements on behalf of your God.
