    ^So, in short, there will always be conspiracy theories.
    Faith and conspiracy theories are separate issues?

    ^They're not at all, at least not how bella heart shawnee was explaining faith. They sound pretty synonymous to me.

    ^ No my point was that no matter of how proof we get there will always be people who believe what their hearts tell them.

    ^Exactly. That applies to religious faith and conspiracy theories. There's no escaping that. You used a conspiracy theory as an example of it. They're related. xD

    ^Conspiracy theories wouldn't exist without faith, or lack thereof.

    Yes, but it's not relevant to religious beliefs.

    Actually... I'd say that conspiracy theories and religious beliefs actually work about the same, the main difference being that the former has more "earthly" reason for it. Both rely on faith, both may disregard what others may say about it if they disagree, both tend to form groups of people with a belief that isn't shared among the outside and may even be contended.

    Yes, but what I meant was that it's not relevant to the discussion in this thread :).

    You believe you're god? Good for you.
    Nobody else does, though, so I hope you're ok with that.
    Since it is impossible to disprove anything, the burden of proof to is upon you to acknowledge that you are god. So please, enlighten us.

    Most people believe in God because of faith and not proof since there are none.
    But we can't deny their personal proof because there are many people who state that they had their own personal proof on God existence but sadly, they cannot provide any evidence to support their statement.

    I personally don't reject nor accept any claim on God existence because there aren't any.

    ^ There are modern-day healings and such done in the name of Jesus.
    My friend Kenzie was prophesied to at International House of Prayer and the PURSUIT Conference this past weekend by people neither of us have ever seen before. Manda spoke in tongues to these two little girls from Honduras, and they could understand her and she could understand them, but nobody else could understand any of the three.

    I'd say that's my proof, at least personally. And if you don't believe my personal proof, there are stories of miracles and witnesses in the Bible, and there are plenty of other stories just around in the world.

    What is wrong with my religion, it's just as valid as yours. I believe in Aironism.
