They will have nothing to come back with and you can freely call them hypocrites and tell them they seem to have selective beliefs. That always pissed them off  |
Wow, what an assumption. I double check your nick after reading the post.
Well, what if they say yes, we believe in ghosts etc. .... what you will have to come up with?
Man, note one thing. If you cannot agree with something you have not seen, you should also not deny it. Because you never know if it was true or not. Otherwise YOU have selective beliefs.
If you go back 1000 years and tell some man that we can travel from Asia to America in less than a day. You can go to moon. He will say you are fucking retard. But are you? Are we? No way! Its fucking truth. But he do not believe just because he have not seen or experienced it. So, if he have right to not believe this (because of not seeing it), he also have NO right to say "Its Impossible" (because he have not seen this goddamn era)
Since you have not seen era of Christ and you were not there when that parting of sea happened. You have no right to say "Its untrue" ..
Do I have a point?
