The catholic church does just about everything the Bible tells us not to do.
This may well be correct but at the end of the day the bibles (all ten copies if I recall correctly) were compiled and edited as dogma by Rome.
Again according to your interpretation but we are going by biblical interpretation regardless of what the word is.
So it is the weapon specialists who..
Again where does it say to burn witches? So the Christians took love your enemy, do good to those who mistreat you, put others above yourself and decided that meant to burn witches?
I suppose you interpret the bible as stating those days were 24 hours? or 1000 years also?
By the way there is more than one definition of faith
-Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
We just don't think that this confidence is based on NOTHING EVIDENT
Pi'stis in the New Testament context is a physical action, based upon a mental belief and sustained with confidence.
Matthew 21:21: I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer[/e]
Their pastors have forgot to tell them what faith actually means, this would explain a hell of a lot dude, perhaps we'll see a lot less misery and death now that xtians reading this willl know how to pray properly?

Exactly and how ironic, wasn't it the same case for the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes? Leaves them without any excuse. Use your enemies to spread your word? Very tactful.

Fine. I'll humour you. What, in your opinion, does faith mean in the bible?
I don't think you get my point. When we invented the coal power plant, we didn't know or intend for it to contribute to the green house effect, climate science is very young though advancing rapidly. The climate emergency is an accident of ignorance, frustratingly enough it's the religious right which seems most intent on denying climate change- religious people of this nature do not listen to scientists or even value science. As for things like drinking and driving, things of that nature - idiots do that.
I just said where it said to kill witches, which burning and hanging was the result of such a passage.
Of course. I have no reason to interpret it otherwise. At least interpreting it as is reads makes a reasonably coherent message, as demonstrably false as it is. This creation still takes place on a disk world, with a firmament, floating on an abyss of water after all.
Belief in the truth on the premise that it happens to be the truth in the first place. Because of this, people have the same faith you do in thousand of equally bad ideas. Having faith is therefore no marker of truth.
Its not about you finding physical evidence. Its about believing that the message he brings is truth. This message cannot be disputed.
We don't believe in jesus, we don't bow down to him, we don't worship him, we have no faith in him because the evidence is in contrary of him being God, Messiah, Christ or anything worthy of worship.
