You are right, and I knew it at the beginning, but I sometimes fool myself into thinking Well maybe if I say it again... Doesn't happen.
if you say it again what? we'll just believe you and the flood and the bible and jesus? no. just repeating yourself isn't enough. you can't just say "oh this is better" and expect us to just fall in line. you have to say why this is better and be able to defend it. the problem isn't that you necessarily can't, but that you refuse to. i think it probably ties into the 'thomas is inferior' idea. you don't want to prove it to us because maybe no one proved it to you and why should we get proof when you didn't or someone else won't?
you and we 'evos' both need to realize that we work on different wavelengths. it is my assumption that you really do want to convince us. if that is the case, then you have to do so within our frame of the universe. you have to demonstrate how what you believe is right and just saying it is right isn't good enough. jesus didn't turn his back on the skeptics and neither should you. you just have to do what he did--approach us in our court. yes, it's hard. yes, it's unpleasant. yes, it's risky (we might convince you rather than the other). but if you win then it's great for you. don't give up the battle just because you can't choose the weapon.
