And with this, I step out now. I've explained the Christian faith as best I can, and made some defenses of it, but it's really starting to get into the "proove it" side of things. I'm a person who likes evidence for many things, but I also understand many things require faith, trusting in things you can't possibly be sure of. Being the kind of person who, although the RISK of trusting that enemy soldier that was kidnapped by a 3rd party along with you is quite apparent, is willing to do so out of faith as opposed to them doing anything to proove themselves. Faith is not something that needs to be "earned".
Anyway, I'm basically saying I'm going to stop being in this debate right now.
Edited to add: Well, I meant to post this right after my post, but apparently when typing it up two people managed to get some posts in. I guess I type slower than I thought... Well, LL apparently put my point for stopping this discussion a lot better than I.
