It is so lillogocal to me, for you or anyone to accept so many things on faith,
"the planet Pluto, or any neutrons, or atoms, or Abraham Lincoln or George Washington"
unseen, un experiecned, but not accept that the universe has a LAW that it operates on. That you can not accept what so many do . In my mind, I jsut say it is lack of faith, lack of conviction, lack of investigation, MAYBE just a lack of not knowing. IF I told you I had a magic pill, that did all sorts of wonders, and you saw me happy on it, I think you would wnat to investigate it, check it out. But if I say that magic pill is having a relationship with God, you immediately have no interest. That's my answer, it is just illogical to me.
Let me make sure I understood this:
First topic - Did you just agree with me that you use the word GOD for a completely different thing than the general population?
television = unicorn? Ok.
Well, when we say GOD... we mean what the general population means as God "1. the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe."
When we say GOD we dont mean CHEETOS

second topic - I am asking you WHY we do that.... and your answer appears to be "because non believers have a lack of faith, conviction, investigation and knowing".... But that does not make sense.
As you can see throughout this entire thread, Athiests have done their fair share of showing and explaining things they have INVESTIGATED.
Clearly most of the posts from non believers of this thread have shown a ton of CONVICTION to their investigation and learning about religion. How else would they have so much info (regardless whether you agree with their info, they have shown plenty of investigation... which shows conviction to that investigating).
To say one questions Jesus but believes in George Washington due to LACK OF FAITH makes no sense. If I told you the sister bear in Berenstein bears was Jesus -- and you disbelieve it, does that mean you have lack of FAITH? No.. It means you arent retarded.
Your comment of "If I told you about a magic pill, you'd investigate.. But if I told you about God you wont"... Thats absurd. Clearly each non-believer in this thread has shown they have totally investigated....
If you think my post here sounds like I am just saying the same thing in different ways you are correct. I just want to cover my bases so you see that what you say makes no sense.
Basically you say "You are all representing tons of information you have researched and investigated... but since you didnt come up with my same belief... then I am going to say you lack having investigated the topic"
none = sandwich
sandwich = tree trunk
tree trunk = coca-cola
coca-cola = DVD
DVD = sense
You make no NONE!
Weee!
