Bruce Wang:
I hadn't planned to be here for 200 comments, I was passing through, but you've said so many unbelievably incredibly bizarre things that I'm still not sure that you're not putting me on. You've shown callous disregard for word definitions, and you've claimed to be a mind reader of every atheist that has ever lived and claim you know better than they do what they believe. You think nothing of calling other Christians false when they worship using the exact same Bible you do. You scream BLIND FAITH at me at every opportunity when I'm merely consulting authoritative reference materials and in the meantime you are more guilty than anyone else of blind faith. I just can't believe the words I'm reading from you. I'm not entirely certain you're really serious.
Amos Moses:
and yet that is what you are doing .... i have no concerns about my reputation ... it is already WELL established ..... nor do i give one wit about what anyone thinks of it .......
Bruce Wang:
It's well established all right. You have one zealotish fan, this Checkmate person who never says anything, just mindlessly upvotes you, and you use the same exact arguments against everyone else who is trying to get you to see reason.
Amos Moses:
you keep claiming science that you accept without any proof of your personal knowledge it is true ..... that is blind faith ........... and your continued argumentation is proof you know and accept God exists ..... but you are trying very hard to suppress that truth .... you are trying to hold that beach ball of truth under the water .... and you are struggling to suppress that beach ball of truth under the water and expending great effort to deny that truth .... but it keeps popping up .... and reminding you that He exists ..... but i am uncomfortable .... i expend no effort .... you do .....
Bruce Wang:
I don't need to be the one to obtain proof from it. That's been done already by people with far greater qualifications than me. You seem to think that because I'm not in Einstein's face challenging him about the theory of relativity, that I'm "blindly" following it. Well, no, it doesn't work that way. Just like when I'm asking you for proof of God, I don't necessarily want YOUR proof, I'm asking you to provide ANYBODY's. All you have are people's personal testimonies and statements of faith. NO ONE you can mention has proof of it, and saying that Jesus came to them at 3 am in a glowing vision isn't proof.
The mountains and walls of texts and the universities and libraries and halls of knowledge I'm talking about are chock full of PROOF. Do I understand how it works? In most cases, no, but I know that others have sufficiently tested them to know they are accurate. That isn't blind faith, by the way.
Amos Moses:
Blind faith can be practiced by anyone including atheists. Blind faith occurs when someone puts their faith into something without any evidence.
Atheists have blind faith in naturalism, abiogenesis and the multiverse as well as several other hypothesizes which are evidenceless.
Bruce Wang:
Obviously you cut and pasted that from somewhere because it doesn't have trails of periods after every sentence. No matter though, your definition here is quite correct. Only problem is, it says "without any evidence". And we DO have evidence, so what was the point of posting this quote?
