Slenderman in a fabulous rainbow suit would probably be scarier than his current suit.

This doesn't take faith, it takes hope. Religion smashes those hopes by presuming it has found the answer, and answer is God.

try harder, because right now you suck at it. You can have your views, but it is insulting when you start pointing out people and claiming their differing beliefs from yours will negatively affect their children, implying the chance of them becoming killers. You know nothing,

Think it's safe to say they always come out on top.
I don't condom them for it, though.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I've been a Christian for over 25 years. I've mentioned it a few times here, though looking back not anytime in this thread it seems, oversight on my part I suppose. What you were saying was coming across similar to a Lutheran telling a Catholic "If you'd just read the Bible you'd convert to our side!" which was sounding a bit presumptuous.........
I'll just take this as a sign I play the devil's advocate part a little too well.
That actually made me LOL.
Yes you play it very well! which is fine by me

Religion is just the hard crust that is just a shell of the real creamy filling.. so whatever about religion.
You're hopes are what? That there is no God? That you are not wrong? I don't really know what you believe but it sounds like a bunch of philosophical Jenga stacks to me. Faith is hope in things unseen. Do you ou only have hope in things that you think that you are limited to?
You seem to be saying that you are happy to keep on hoping and content that you will never know the answer.. Well hope without fulfillment is ultimately nothing but an empty dream in the end. Just saying. Better be sure. Better not stop seeking.
Faith is hope in things unseen.
By you, right? Unseen by you. Faith in very specific things other people have asserted are true. Not faith in "something more than perceived reality" but "Faith a lamb will open a series of seals and the dead will rise". You can see how those aren't the same thing, right?

Not really. Maybe.
I had an average enough knowledge of the Lamb religion most of my life. In that case it was something other people had asserted was true but I didn't have faith in the word of those people or in the word of the people that wrote the Bible.
If I am understanding you correctly you are saying that the only valid faith can only come from purely subjective internal perception of reality and that if anything I have faith in has happened to have been cataloged elsewhere in history then it somehow makes is less valid? Or I could also assume that what is underlying in your statement is that since, internally, faith and hope and simply cognitive processes that "anything goes" because anybody can have hope in anything anyway.
I admit that I am guilty of boldly asserting that there is a reality of a sort of "archetypal hope" in the human condition for complete peace, harmony, safety, joy, wonder, and-the-rest..
There can be hope for those things being that you have faith in something, right? Many people do not dare to have those kinds of hopes because they have no reason to assume that there is anything that exists to bother putting their faith in that could possibly achieve this. It's a circular state of affair that is only broken by having the faith.. and people can even fool themselves into having false faith and what I mean by "false faith" is irrational faith which sounds redundant. However, because faith is the evidence of what we hope for if our hopes our corrupted then that which we put our faith in is also going to be corrupted.. hence all of the death from religions and ideologies.
If we adhere that there is one true hope - like I said, the archetypal "heaven" state that cultures around the world crow about and atheists blame god for not making fast enough.. that unseen and unimaginable state of existence, in my opinion, should be and can be the ultimate hope for all people. We can have hopes in any number of things; but foremost if we do not hope for that than I feel we are selling ourselves short.
That is why I feel what I said is justified.

Nope. Does nothing to justify the specificity. Which is the problem. If you want to have faith that there is something after death that continues your experience as a being, that's fine. Unlikely, but that's what faith is about. I believe humans will someday come to a point in civilization where they won't happily trade the deaths of thousands for moving up in wealth from 4,000,000,000 to 3,999,999,999. Equally unlikely, but it's fun to hope.
Wholly distinct from "Jesus is gonna fix it, everybody!"

Because if the universe is going to end it has to end in an exciting way, right?

If that were the case, the last guy to tip things over into the inevitable slide to fiery oblivion would utter the battle cry of the truly venal: "If I don't do it, someone else will!"
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I imagine the last words would be "Hey, it worked," or "Here's the $50 I owe you."
