        There are people that have been and actively are in space looking at the earth, nobody is making that up, it’s just a simple fact, the earth is round. (Spheroid, if you want to be a pedant) There is no requirement of belief nor faith, just basic observation and understanding. Stupidity is quite literally the only reason to argue otherwise.

            By your logic we can also reason that Odin is The All-father, and that Ganesha is the remover of obstacles, Xenu is the great destroyer, and that Zeus likes to bang as a goose, or indeed that even Harry Potter actually being The Boy Who Lived, or that Roland is chasing The Man In Black forever to sustain The Wheel Of Ka and keep reality intact. Zealoutry is synonymous with myopia. Faith is foolish and self serving.

            To say we cannot reason Christ is God because many people believe he is not is not a sound claim as what the many hold true may not always be true.

              Yeah, sure, faith. Faith is for fools and children.

              Also, apply that last bit to your own blindly regurgitated statements, you selective scotoma ridden fuck.
