Man, this topic is still going on?
Runa, this thread is simple: either you just don't get what the word faith means or you don't realize that religion is faith and not fact.
Religion is faith and you cannot prove faith, otherwise it would be fact. It's that simple.
There's no long explanation needed because you cannot prove faith. Faith is simply something you believe, not something you prove. Everyone that is trying to prove God exists is wrong for trying to prove something that cannot be proven and everyone asking people to prove to them God is exist doesn't get that you simply can't.
If you could prove God does exist then Christianity would go from faith to fact.
So, yeah...

I'm well aware of that. The point I was trying to make is that people are pushing religion as fact, and are even starting wars over it (in some cases). do I really have to reiterate the point, again?
"If religion wants to be respected, it needs to offer evidence to back it's claims."

Yeah, I really don't want to read 10 pages of nonsense.
I assume you realize that those people making wars over religion are irrational right? Maybe 500 years ago when people weren't quite as enlightened but today it's hard to use those people as the gold standard today.
Things like evolution can be proven but proving it one way or the other doesn't prove or disprove that God exists. If evolution happened God can still exist.
I don't really know where your quote comes from but it's simply wrong. Whoever made it like you obviously doesn't understand what faith is. I really don't know how better to explain that. Faith can not and does not need to be proven.
