That’s a very long post, to say “I have no proof…”

Yeah. I rejected your command and didnt aim to proof anything.

This is irrelevant to the discussion and also just your personal opinion.

Umm... No, it's neither? I was explaining how you're asking the wrong question which religion doesn't aim to answer.

by providing a reason to believe in God that’s not faith or the Bible says.

I can't. It's faith. Faith is the reason to believe in a god. Never claimed anything different.

What you are saying is simply wrong for the majority of religious followers.

You're just pulling stuff out of your ass that you can't possibly have any data to. I've had productive discussions with people who studied theology.

Horrific analogy. Coffee is real and we can both touch and taste it. Also, coffee doesn’t command us to stone gays or see women as second class citizens. Just horrific analogy.

Yeah, didn't think that you'd get it, tbh. I was trying to explain that you're making a cathegorical error by demanding proof of a god. Separate your domains of inquire, my dude.

I’m not talking about any religion in particular. They all share the same tenants that I’m attacking here. Belief without good reason.

Bullshit. You're dunking on abrahamic religions ("stone gays") and use these to extrapolate to any religion. You have no idea about paganism, buddhism, sikh, shintoism, etc.

For some reason you feel that me speaking the truth and demanding evidence for religious belief is condescending.

What is the "truth" you're supposedly speaking? That there is no scientific proof that something supernatural exists? Wow. What a well of wisdom you are. Did you know that you can be a secular buddhist?

When you claim to have all the answers via your imaginary friend and you seek to impose your views on others, I’m going to call you out on it.

You're confusing christianity (and maybe islam) with every other religion again. Judaism doesn't have missionaries. Neither do hundreds of other religions.

This will be my last reply unless your next reply actually provides evidence, as demanded at the beginning of this thread. Otherwise have a great day.

Don't threaten re with a good time.
