    You’re not convincing anyone by misusing words.

    Here, let me demonstrate: I have hard evidence that God doesn’t exist. My evidence is faith.

      My evidence isn’t faith. My faith is based in historical fact.

        So why are historians not generally Christian?

          Because a lot of people these days aren’t generally Christian.

            But if it’s rooted in historical fact, rather than cultural hegemony and parents passing on their belief systems to their children, then studying history would naturally lead people to become overwhelmingly Christian. Reality does not reflect that.

              Because people don’t want to think that there is a judge and change their lives. By the same logic, if it’s fake, then why have people studied it and become Christian?

                Right. So millions of people have committed their lives to studying history, which contains overwhelming proof that your branch and interpretation of Christianity is the absolute truth. But most of them are too weak to acknowledge this, so they choose to deny the obvious truth all their lives, and will be judged accordingly.

                I have a lot of patience for religious people and perspectives as long as they’re not openly hateful, but you’re really testing me here. You may be careful with your words, but your worldview and message are entirely self-centered, judgmental, and plainly offensive.

                  I never said that my branch and interpretation of Christianity is the absolute truth. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

                    Congratulations on the selective reading.
