faith requires you to make the leap - and this is where the bravery comes in - to imagine that there might be something else.
I can _imagine_ many many things. I've written, discussed and roleplayed all sorts of bizarre possibilities. I just don't see any reason to connect them to reality.
GoIt is idiotic to try to suggest that you can disprove God with logic The burden of proof lies upon the person claiming that they do. If I stated that polka-dotted swans existed, while someone else argued that they probably didn't, would you not agree that it was down to me to provide a photo of a swan with polka dots, or on them to provide evidence that they didn't exist?
Faith does not come from a place of logic or proof. Exactly, it's believing things without any evidence of them. i.e. fantasy and wish-fulfillment.
I'd agree that the other argument would be a perfectly good thing to put on a bus - I'd have no problem with it at all. In fact I'd expect it to link to something that me a reason to believe that "probably" and be very dissapointed if there wasn't some kind of documentary proof.
