You're taking the word of someone else and using that to shape your argument and you saw how far that got you. After I explained it to you it really didn't make much sense did it? You took it at face value and didn't bother looking at from all sides before jumping right in. Then I come along and poke holes in it and now you see how ridiculous that whole idea was.
Believe it or not I'm trying to help you out. There is nothing wrong with your belief if you truly understand it but seeing how quickly you were willing to cling to this ridiculous idea of "believing for the sake of believing" I find myself wondering what other aspects of your beliefs you practice this blind faith idea.

Wait a minute, "how
quickly I was willing to cling to 'believing for the sake of believing?!'" Half of this whole thread is filled with nothing but
me and
you having this huge discussion! I put out everything I knew about Christianity to try to convince you, and you always had an excuse for everything. It wasn't until I was
exhausted of coming up with counter-arguments that I asked for a little help from people who are more mature and knowledgeable than me. You seem to think that just because I asked for help, that I don't know my own religion, that I'm believing in Jesus just for the heck of it. Which is completely STUPID. Why in the heck would I believe something that I don't fully believe, what, you think I'm just following this religion because parents are? Well, then your wrong. I believe because I KNOW it's 100% true, otherwise I wouldn't believe it. You again are starting to look as if you think I'm stupid, like I'm a tiny child who would believe anything. I want to say that that's not the least bit true. I know everything anyone needs to know about Christianity, the only thing I DON'T have experience with is debating with other people
about Christianity.
To put it simply, I HAVE the words, but apparently I don't quite know
how to say them.
