    I have seen people completely change their minds due directly to interactions in online forums, but you are correct that you will not change my mind because I can guarantee that I have heard variations of all of what you believe to be evidence as I have also been in online forums for decades and wrestled with my own faith early in life.

    I get annoyed when people try to use the language of science to bolster their religious beliefs. Science requires simple, repetitive evidence and religion cannot provide that. If it could, we would not be having this discussion as I would share your beliefs.

    Your faith should stand alone. It doesn’t need scientific validation.

      Some religions can provide evidence, as I said above. My faith stands alone but it also has evidence to support itself. Your claim that we’d all have the same beliefs if there was evidence is false, because have you ever met human beings before? We can’t even agree on climate change despite overwhelming evidence, let alone the rest. God even says in the Quran that He could make things appear in the sky and it still wouldn’t convince everyone.

      At least you admitted you aren’t willing to engage in good faith discussion, so it’s not worth continuing. Peace.

          You’re trolling. You admitted you wouldn’t take any argument seriously and I said I’m not going to waste my time writing something you won’t bother to entertain, so all you’re trying to do is troll me. If anyone else had legitimate questions I said I’d be happy to answer them, but why would I waste my time on you?

              “you are correct that you will not change my mind”

              Why bother writing a reply or showing you evidence when you admitted you won’t even bother to consider it? I love discussion and won’t waste time on trolls.

                Your desperate avoidance of giving any actual evidence that will apparently prove your convictions suggests you don’t actually have much faith in them, doesn’t it?
