Chris, did you bother to read my post? It explains exactly why those who believe in God KNOW he exists.

I read your post and it doesn't tell me how somebody can say they KNOW god exists when they don't KNOW. Just because someone has faith in something doesn't make it true. They THINK it's true but they don't know. What if I'm lead to believe that I'm going to grow 9 feet tomorrow and I have faith in that... I don't KNOW I will grow 9 feet tomorrow, I think I will.

You used a bad example... use somthing you already do 'know' will happen that you don't question.

Will you have a hard time sleeping tonight just because you may or may not wake up? Do you and will you live every moment of your life like it's your last? If you seriously answerd the above questions you still made an assumption based off of faith. It doesn't matter if you will have a hard time sleeping tonight if I jump through your window right now and shoot you in the head.

Faith is believing in somthing... faith is knowing. Do you know what you are going to do tomorrow morning? Do you know if HHH will eventually lose the belt? These are questions you have probably answerd already but I'm just presenting a source of doubt.

Nobody knows anything if nobody has faith...

I don't think you understand the meaning of faith when used in religious situations.

I understand faith, and I understand that faith is belief in a questionable situation... I also understand that nobody knows the answer to a questionable situation. You may highly believe you are correct, and you may be very accurate... but nobody knows something until it is proven without flaw.

This thread was made to be open to debate, Strangler. Are you going to discount my belief that there "may be no god", which therefor would put doubt in what you consider fact... or will you understand and respect the differences?

Hey, it's that, or I start saying that I KNOW that "God" doesn't exist, and you won't be able to disagree.

P.S. I understand that you quoted someone else, but I feel your comment was also made toward me ¦¬Þ

You either have faith or you don't. It's that simple, and not worth debating.

True dat! Good thing I'm not debating faith, but rather knowledge ¦¬Þ

And my point is that to have faith there can be no doubt. There is bo such thing as questionable faith. If there is doubt, faith does not exist.

Exactly.

And TheGame, I don't know if I'll wake up tomorrow morning. I assume I will because I've waken up every morning for almost 18 years now, but just as people don't KNOW god exists, I don't KNOW I'll actually wake up tomorrow. If that's what you were even saying...

Oh yeah, and I KNOW Triple H won't lose the belt.
