I generally hate people who shot like defend child rapists

What does this even mean?

[loinburger]

Now I would like to ask you wwhy you are offended by me because I'm certain of what I believe and not offended by a person like that.

You keep bouncing between firmly held beliefs without a shred of doubt (first you were a communist, now you're an anti-communist, and in both cases you appear to have zero doubt about the validity of your beliefs), and this results in you behaving like a douchebag. It's not so much that you believe X, it's that you believe in your own infallibility and you happen to be infallible about X at the moment. This isn't offensive, but it is pitiful since it appears that this has turned you into a thoroughly miserable person.

[loinburger]

On the subject of your infallibility, have you ever deferred to anybody on matters of faith? For example, are you able to hold a conversation with a minister and come out of the conversation knowing more than you did going into it, or do you find yourself rejecting the minister for saying anything the least bit contrary to what you believe? Because if it's the former then surely you realize that you don't have a monopoly on the truth and that your lack of doubt in your own infallibility is misplaced; if it's the latter then you're hopeless.

I never had Faith in communism. Prove me a liar.

I never claimed to be infallible. I claim God is infallible. That is precisely why I don't doubt him. But you have faith in your doubt.

I have no more faith in ministers than I do in Karl Marx. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Okay, I'm getting off the crazy train now

[ZEE]

Back at you

Ming is being mean to me again, you guise.

Do you have proof that your doubt is good? Then you have faith.

[Kidlicious]

Also, please give a reason for what you believe, or do you have blind faith. Did I miss something, or is elok the only one who tried to give a reasonable argument. His argument can be summed up as, "we should doubt our beliefs because they aren't true." K, if I believed that my beliefs were false of course I would doubt them. Actually I wouldn't believe them at all, and I wouldn't tell people that I did, unless I believed in lies.
