I have no problem with Buz believing that the Exodus happened or that Adam & Eve were real people or most any other however silly belief he might express, but when he goes beyond simply saying that he believes the Exodus happens and tries to prove as a factual matter that the Exodus really did happen, I IMHO rightly take exception.
I don't to the best of my knowledge.
I take exception to Buz claiming fact as opposed to belief. I have no problem with Buz believing that the Exodus happened or that Adam & Eve were real people or most any other however silly belief he might express, but when he goes beyond simply saying that he believes the Exodus happens and tries to prove as a factual matter that the Exodus really did happen, I IMHO rightly take exception.
Well, that's so nice of you to offer Buz such a gesture of believeing what he wants until (god forbid) he actually tries to backup or prove what he believes to be true, or in your words "tries to prove". THAT'S when you take exception? It's such a horrible thing when someone actually TRIES to prove something aye?
Wonderful, So, you are rather tolerant of people who believe blindly anything they are told but when they investigate and TRY to establish a basis for their beliefs that's when you speak up. How dare they!
When Darwin was studying the finch beaks on The Galpagos Islands and made some predictions based on what he believed was happening I wonder what would have happened if he took your approach.
Oh wait, I know the answer, NOTHING.
