Why believe in something with no evidence at all?
Why waste our lifes in pursuit of something that doesn't exist (heaven)?
Why live your life with hate for homosexuals, rape victims who have abortions, people who use condoms, muslims, and everyone else who doesn't buy YOUR brand of salvation?
The end time is near (for religion) help it on it's way http://flushaholybook.com

I have no hate for anyone, ESPECIALLY rape victims who have abortions. What's wrong with condoms? I think you're speaking of the Catholic faith again, which I don't follow.
In answer to your question, YES. That's why I needed scientific and historical evidence to come to God. I'm a doubter.

Not if that faith is thoroughly grounded in the Word of God. An intelligent Christian will always check what he encounters with what is taught in the Bible. You claim that there is no evidence, but that is because you have not looked at the most startling evidence of all---the changes in peoples lives. God hates sin but not the sinner. there are Christians that have this backward an unfortunately many of them are pastors playing to the prejudices of their congregations. There will not be many people make it to heaven---and yes it does exist. The sad fact is that most people who think that they are saved are not because the love of Christ is not in their hearts. They live in a vacuum of loveless Christianity, and Christ does not know them. Love is the key, not hate.

There are a lot of false "prophets" Look no further than the multimillionaire televangelists on the TBN network.
Mark Charona-has made numerous false prophecies.
Benny Hinn-Claims God talks to him, and can't get a lot right.
Joyce Meyer-owns 5 mansions, 1 jet, 4 guards
Cefro Dolar-Owens two mansion, 2 jets, 3 Rolls Royces!
The TBN network has 341 million cash on hand--and still regulary runs beg-a-thons.

Possibly. There is a phenomenon of sealing off faith in God in an intellectual bubble, however. People will look skeptically on everything else except that. Those people are possibly no more susceptible to scams than anyone else. I also know plenty of atheists that believe in tarot, occult, and other things. Yet they'd still describe themselves as atheists.

Maybe there is no evidence to prove it, but there is no evidence to disprove it.(heaven).If you have
true faith there is no room for hate of anybody.
People who have faith (with no tangible evidence)
are not more susceptible to scams orfalse prophets. The only guard against that, for anybody, is to use that good old commom sense
we all have, but sometimes do not put to good use.

No, it doesn't make you more susceptible, being human makes you more susceptible. Ppl believe because they don't have confidence in themselves to be self sufficient that puts too much of the burden on them for the things that go wrong. As far as hate, it's always nice to blame someone else for the decline of society. Disappointment in faiths is a normal progression of free thought. Liberty I believe is how someone put it. You need not be angry at religion for your time in belief of it. Make your own decisions and others will make theirs.

The definition of faith is believing in something that cannot be proven.
So yes, they're susceptible to anyone and anything that can make a little sense.
As far as your agenda, a less aggressive approach might help you get further.

No - that is the difference between Faith and truth.
What you believe might not always be the truth ot the right thing - I hope that the Christians and all God based religious people specially as well as others would understand this sooner than later !

True Christains do not have hate for any of the above things you mentioned. We pray for the lost that they may have eternal life. We also "IF WELL STUDIED" Know that we have more evidence than anyone would ever need to believe on God. It is not evidence that prompts you to look however, but the drawing power of God's Holy Spirit of His lost sheep towards Him. The evidence is overwhelming, but only a few folks come to belief based on evidence.
