Hello bhsmte. :) What proof or evidence would u accept? Well, im pentecostal. What psychological need - that you could think of - would one have to gravitate towards that denomination? What do you believe this psycological change is that produces variations within Christianity? What ideaolgy varies within christianity? Why is a belief in Jesus as salvation a form of comfort and from what? Cheerd

Objective, independently verifiable evidence.

Personal psyches are unique to each person and complex. The fact that there are too many denominations of christianity to count, with varying ideologies, allows people to gravitate towards the one that brings the most personal comfort.

Your tries of equivocation does not impress.

You are in error.
You are. God is right, and the foolish origin fables of godless man are a deliberate lie foisted on man.

1. Are you (a) god?
2. If no, do you speak directly with god(s)?
3. If one of the above is true; can you support that whith evidence that is indenpenditly verifiable, i.e. facts?
4. If no to 3. then what you are writing is just hot air.
5. If no to all 1-3 then you have no basis at all for your claims.

1. Are you (a) god?
I'll let Jesus take that one.

Joh 10:34 - Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

2. If no, do you speak directly with god(s)?
Hey, His word is Scripture and that is direct from heaven. He also called us friends and said we could chat it up any ol time!

3. If one of the above is true; can you support that whith evidence that is indenpenditly verifiable, i.e. facts?

Soon as you show us your capacity to verify the spiritual, I will see what I can do. If no, then what you are writing is just hot air.

Hello my dear:)

I expect more from you. Ill repeat the questions and ask if you could provide more detail.

What proof or evidence would u accept? Well, im pentecostal. What psychological need - that you could think of - would one have to gravitate towards that denomination? What do you believe this psycological change is that produces variations within Christianity? What ideaolgy varies within christianity? Why is a belief in Jesus as salvation a form of comfort and from what?

I wanted to know what you would accept as 'something like a car'. If you'd accept a horse, which is the form of transport that cars have replaced, then I'd say it was conceivable, as horses - like all living things - probably did evolve from simple replicators which may have originally been single molecules.

But if 'something like a car' means a small, human-built, mechanised personal transport, then the answer is obviously 'No' because such things don't evolve - as you've been told too many times.

Try again.

Hello there my dear :)

It seems you lack a detailed arguement or cannot adequately explain your position and provide depth. It is unsatisfactory, it seems that all you can do is provide statements

Bhsmte - "The basics, are far too painful to acknowledge. Hence, the crude defense mechanisms come out."

Please excuse me however in your case it appears the basics are too painful to explain. Hence, - please excuse my bluntness - the mundane response from you. :)

What you think? You wanna put in more effort? Cheers

I have faith i may win lotto someday, but i trust the lights will turn on, when i flip the switch.

Hello bhsmte :)

Now my dear this statement interests me. I think 'hope' would be a far better term than faith.

Faith means to have 100% trust in something. It is better to say you have a feeling of expectation or desire for a particular thing to happen (.eg hope).

Why would you have a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability for you to win the lottery? In other words why do you think it is absolutely certain to happen?

The light switch worked every other time so therefore you suppose the lights will turn on when you flip the switch ie to assume. To assume is suppose to be the case, without proof. Your light globe could have failed, your fuse may not be intact, the electrician may have not got the amps right, water from a bathroom could have leaked into the wall or the main power may be down.

Im curious why do you have a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of the light switch turning on?

Cheers my delicious new friend

Ps
Dont be shy ;)

Please don't take this the wrong way, but this kind of over-familiar language comes across rather creepy when talking to strangers online (alternatively, it could be seen as facetious).

Just sayin'.

Hello bhsmte :)

Please do not take offense. You mean this is the best you can do, ie you prefer to make statements rather than back them up :)

Cheers my new and marvelous friend :)
