I do not have faith in. What is wrong with these people? Don't they know that some of us think they are silly? Don't they know that I believe differently. This should be enough to convince them of their folly. I have superior education and experience. My teachers taught me from a young age to scorn people of faith. Movies, tv and the media continue to support this thinking. I am convinced by them that I am right and Christians are wrong. What gives them the right to believe otherwise. Oh, that's right, this is America. Never mind.

I think it is quite ironic that you use the rest of the world to help you in your idea.

Do you assume that since you personally have not believed something to be possible, that it can not be? Are you human or are you a higher form of life? Human teachers, TV, movies and other media are hardly divine anything. Most of the medias you mention depend on the publics "willing suspension of disbelief" to tell their stories.
I too was taught to scorn people of faith. The difference was the faith having no basis in truth was to be scorned and not proper faith in the truth of the Bible. Generations of people have been mislead by faith in beliefs having nothing to do with the Bible such as trinity or immortality of the soul, hellfire. Most people have just accepted these things as gospel, never bothering to see what the Bible actually taught. I scorn such beliefs. I pity the people for believing these things. I personally can not tell at first glance whether they accept these things to honor family or are just too lazy to research for themselves.
Usually it for those dissatisfied with what they believe. Some how knowing something does not make sense. They have a logical mind in most things and when it comes to matters of faith, they use it on these things and find them wanting. These are the ones that find out exactly what God wants from us and teaches from the Bible. It is far different from what they were taught earlier. Everything starts falling into logical place then.
Why conditions are now the way they are. Who is responsible? Is there a way out? What is the purpose for earth (the planet) and humans? There are logical answers for these things but as long as you depend on the works of men to answer, you will be lost.

I think Christians are pretty well aware that some people think they are silly, or worse. I doubt your opinions are going to change their minds about their religion. Perhaps instead of believing everything you were told by your teachers you should use your own brain to make decisions. Christians are like everyone else: there are good, honorable, decent ones, and holier-than-thou annoying ones. Look at the individual, not the religion.

Your "superior education" has apparently not taught you of your need for a Savior, dear one.
Do you really think that Christians will turn away from Jesus because you, or others, think we're "silly"? My dear, deluded child, we KNOW Whom we follow! It isn't a folly, it's a real relationship, just as you have real relationships with people YOU love.
God bless!

Don't worry, you don't bother true Christians. We already know that you think we are foolish but we don't care because we know what we believe. It would sound foolish to those who have never heard, never read the Word of God, never had that empty place inside of you filled up to overflowing because of Him. Being smart about the things of this world is not true wisdom. But the wisdom of godly things are something most aren't interested in.

This is either a trap or you are really arrogant. I don't care what they believe as long as they don't plan to disrupt my life with their beliefs.
