You can't deny that's a possibility, can you? Because you have no way to prove it wrong.

It's not about my faith or what makes sense. It's about which religion is the right one to believe in. Hey, the earth circling the sun never made sense to me and my experience is ... right, the sun is circling the earth!

By the way, I appreciate your candid discussion. I sincerely hope your choice of religion and God is right. (no sarcasm. I am serious)

Faith itself represents a potential truth. So you first need to admit that it's your faith.

We are talking about our faith all the times. No? I fully realize what my faith is, how about you?

You know what I am talking about. Your God, Shiva and Buddha etc. They can't all be right. :-)

You circle around again. I already answer your questions about "how to choose", and "what faith is".

You made no new points. It's boring to discuss with your kind.

Again, your personal choice doesn't count because you can be wrong! You can think you are right but you can be dead wrong.

Don't you forget that we used to BBQ people for telling us the earth has been circling the sun? In the sense of false promise and exaggeration, religion triumphs everything else.

That is the wrong adverb for you, but when you arrive there I am sure people will participate.
