Isn't this 'ignoring' the essence of atheism?
Now I see where you're going with this.

Really?

If so, please define trust?

Assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.

Your posts are just you spouting off. You have nothing to say. Why don't you define trust?

Okay, good.
How many times does someone have to 'break' the assured reliance before you consider him not worthy of your trust?

I already defined it as being optimistic.

It's a case-by-case basis.

I agree.
But it also depends on the person.
The more I've have trusted someone, the deeper the breaking of this assured reliance will feel as a betrayal.
So it is hard for someone I don't know personally to betray me.

Try reading the Tao Te'Ching, it is full of gems like this:
Those that speak do not know.
Those that know do not speak.
You spoke.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Why do you need the Bible to prove there is a God? There are many who believe in God and don't use the Bible as scripture.

Secondly if you want to use the Bible, there are about a million archeological sites that prove the accuracy of certain books in the Bible. The Bible is a collection of books written by many authors at different dates.

Lastly, like the Sun I do believe in the Sun because I see it, it is because of the Sun that all things are seen.

Thank you for reading my invisible thoughts,

The answer you are looking for, just might be closer than you think.

I am claiming under my topic "The Department of Positive Out of Body Possibility"

That very answer.

I claim how we can do it for free!
