POPSThe idiocy of claiming non belief is belief This is a common argument presented by the two trolls willhelm and darkeforce. In their world up is down, down is up, and after smearing poop on their own face they point at other people and call them shitheads. It's a world of redefining terms to suit their needs, cherry picking the foundation of their religion (the bible) to shore up their beliefs, and a pathological need to project their own requirements of blind faith on other people. It's the only way they can level the playing field when they know what irrational nuts they sound like when trying to defend their claims. Their only recourse - an ad hominem false equivalency approach in order to appear equal.

POPSYoung adults aren't sticking with church Of those that returned or stayed : they grew up with both parents committed to the church (indoctrination), had charismatic pastors (entertained), and church members invested in their spiritual development (got attention) - doesn't this suggest that young adults that do return/stay are not doing it because the message of god is true, but because they simply like the idea of believing because of an emotional payoff?

POPSChristianity's crumbling foundation The bible, the source of Christian religion, is such a corrupted and edited book. It really brings home the fact that people believe because they want to believe, not because they have any real solid foundation to their faith.
