1. But faith...

trumps everything or at least that is what I have been told repeatedly and since it is repeated so often it must be true.

2. You'll probably get an argument wrt #4

since some people are still wrestling over the exact circumstances of the parting of the Red Sea.

And how many insects on Noah's ark.

And the whereabouts of Jesus' foreskin.

etc.

3. That is simply not fair !!

1. Facts
2. Evidence
3. Reality
4. History
5. Science

Not fair to have a corner on the market,

Don't you know that Christians and Jews and Muslims make up stuff like that, and have been making up stuff like those things for hundreds if not thousands of years? No?

You don't remember when science taught that the sun revolved around the Earth? Well, then, let me tell you that story about Christianity and Judaism and Islam all saying about the same thing in ...

6. Theists have all those things!

it's just....

the Facts are shaky and/or irrelevant
the Evidence is unreliable and often made up
the Reality may not exist, but they KNOW it's there
the History is extensive, but not very pleasant, or supporting of all the other stuff above
and the Science is sound.... except it's written (before the scientific method) in poetic metaphors and allegories that can have multiple interpretations.... if any at all.

11. Don't forget the consensual genital-to-genital contact.

We can do that without having to talk to a priest before and/or after. Pregnancy not required.

Mileage still varies, though.
