Well, see that’s what you get for wanting to delve deeply into religion. To most Christians (including myself) belief that Jesus Christ is our Savior and the Son of God is what really counts. The rest of it (the bible and different interpretations of it), don’t really matter to us. I find it to be a fascinating discussion to have with some folks but I can understand someone simply answering the way he did, too.

I’m sorry, that’s just not good enough for me. If somebody professes to believe in something, they should have a good reason. Just saying “I believe” isn’t good enough for me. It’s a dumb way to go about it.

Again, even as an Atheist, I can think of lots of theological arguments on belief in God. I don’t accept them but at least I am aware of them. I have reasons for thinking the way that I do. Not even wanting to discuss your beliefs is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of.

If Jesus is really that important to you, you should be able to tell me why. If you can’t, then you don’t know enough to justify those beliefs. I think that isn’t a good way to believe in something.
