the only thing that is empirically understood about faith is the wanting to be right
Thats exactly why I have no use for it.
Well, for one, you could try to demonstrate that the book is reliable and accurate.

thank you Tristesse.
but,
the best use of all. It's called freedom! aha yey!
Okay.
IS the Bible reliable?
The Bible claims that the Babylonian citizens were all turned to the true god during the Jewish captivity. Now They are all muslims following the old testament.
This happened because the King who witnessed the miracle of God saving his servants decreed the entire city would worship God, and the enemy was turned into followers and set them free. It was this very king who sent messengers to Israel saying that There were no Gods who could save.
To this day they are not Jewish, so we have a completely uncontaminated source to back up the Bible, the Muslims of Iran and Pakistan and Iraq.
more? The Bible was reliabel and accurate, because God saved his servants from Fire!
Amen

Are you implying that can't happen?
??? Isis gets prosperity and cheaper upgrades and fast building awesome obelisks and ... have you seen her?
Seriously though I have never heard that Isis is the name of Jesus. I have heard Isis come up in relation to Mary and Horus in relation to Jesus.
Virgin Isis vs Virgin Mary etc... I know a lot of Christians think the virgin birth story is kind of unique because they have never looked elsewhere perhaps? It is a bit confusing as even when I was a christian I was taught the immaculate conception of Mary was what the virgin birth was about as well as taught that the two differed and eventually you just have to go research and figure it out because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.

So now an emotional retort is equivalent to reason?
I know the difference between what I want....
and what I cannot deny.
Still hedging on no life after death...I see.

funny, you didn't include the (your) reason...
here, i'll do it for you
better...
yes faith is the wanting to be right because it relies on the premise that it doesn't need to proven objectively... religious faith is convenient that way.
i do not understand what this has anything to do with the discussion...
so i'll just ignore it.
If "faith needs no proving", then if you were right, how would you ever know?

Religious faith is not convenient.
Wanting has nothing to do with it.
If you believe in life after death....there's plenty to be considered.
And none of it can be proven....while we breath.
Want proof?....all you gotta do is die....and you will.
thank you Tristesse.

You're welcome Joseph. But Using the bible to prove the bible is not what I had in mind when I said evidence. But thanks for trying.
