    Please give a break to some of your fellows here.
    Just because you don't know or understand something
    is slight evidence as to its existence vel non. You are exaggerating ridiculously your own importance. I myself base my Christian belief on a huge amount of empirical evidence, and many many others like me have explained this. You're not being truly rational. Get over yourself. Nobody cares about you as much as you do. By the way, I've given you many 4 ratings here. I'm just sore on this one point.
    •  Repeated assertions (none / 0)

      no matter how vociferous and aggressive, do not constitute evidence of fact.

      You can continue to pretend that this is about me and try to prevent people from discussing the implications of religious intrusion on politics by claiming that it is all an assault on all belief, but that does not make your assertion true.

      Interesting that, when I post a question about intercessionary prayer--something that itself implies that the one doing the prayer attaches a great deal of importance to themselves, believing even that they can make God do their bidding--you respond with an ad hominem claiming falsely that i am "exaggerating ridiculously" my own importance.

      I have made no claims of infallibility, I have made no claims that my words can make God do my bidding, move hurricanes or help "our guy" to win a debate. It is not I that has the hubris to make such claims.

      Perhaps your blind hostility to those who believe differently than you are, and your flat unwillingness to allow open discussion about the intrusion of religion on politics and its implications for our democracy, reveal more about your sense of self-importance than mine. I don't know, because my focus is the issues I raised, rather than attacking the person, as you are doing here.

      Drive-by commenting is such fun!
