THERE IS NO OTHER KIND OF FAITH EXCEPT BLIND FAITH.
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use." - Galileo Galilei
"What a queer thing is Christian salvation! Believing in firemen will not save a burning house; believing in doctors will not make one well, but believing in a savior saves men. Fudge!" -Lemuel Washburn
"Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains." -Robert G. Ingersoll
"Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense." -Henry Mencken
I already answered the question about why christianity is the one true religion. christianity distinguishes itself because it is NOT mans attempt to establish a relationship with the creator, it was the creators attempt to establish a relationship with man. Any religion without a living savior is by definition FALSE. Thats the very fundamental definition. your question is like asking, why isnt the number 1 actually number 2. its number one because thats what it is. There is no evidence or explaination. Thats its very definition.
That is the reason i chose it.

So now you're re-writing the definition of religion so it fits your little book. Typical. Constantine rewrote your little Holy Book itself to fit, so looks like you're playing Little Christian to a T. :thumbsup:
the only one sticking their fingers in their ears going LALALALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU is you... because you fail to understand the very foundations of what religion is, why we have it, and why christianity is different.
Oh I understand it all right. I understand that you are absolutely incapable of reason. This little story book has you so wrapped up in hope of nothing reasonable that you're willing to discard all semblance of logic, reason, and common sense in exchange for something that you have no reason to believe other than "because I can" which is so ridiculously ignorant that, even having been raised in the church, I still have a hard time fathoming.
you keep insisting that something outside the bible or christianity needs to give it verification... that defies the intent behind blind faith.
Checks and balances

Do you understand the concept of
circular reasoning? It's too bad your tiny brainwashed mind cannot understand such simple concepts.
if you intent that following blind faith = being a mindless indoctrinated fool... i dont care... because YES THATS WHAT I WANT TO BE.
You WANT to be ignorant? You CHOOSE to be stupid? Wow, it's not often you find someone if your ilk who's actually going to admit their faults. For that, I do applaud you.
If you want proof? heres your proof: go die. youll instantly have the proof you seek.
That doesn't sound very Christ-like, hypocrite. Jesus said that you aren't a Christian if you don't bear fruit and it doesn't look like you're bearing any fruit. You
sure you're going to heaven, you miserable failure?
