who gives you the right to call them/us charlatans?

This is out of the Oxford dictionary from where I used the word;

charlatan n. person falsely claiming knowledge or skill.

These people, including you, were not there ... you simply believe it ...
To put it to others as being the truth, is to falsely pretend that you have
knowledge of/on the subject that you do not have ...

That my dear, is nothing but plain straight forward charlatanism ...

no my dear, WF.. it just makes YOU a charlatan too then.....falsely claiming knowledge or skill!!!!
do you have undeniable proof that Bernadette DID NOT see the apparition of the Virgin Mary?

WF.....do you really believe that we, as Christians, would ever derive at a maths equation where the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost is concerned?.....

Sorry ... I do not understand your question ...
would you mind to elaborate ... ???

you dont, WF?.....
come now WF.......you seem to like circles.....lets just agree to disagree, really......your inability to accept that I, as a Christian, albeit a naughty one, a huge sinner too, will not bow down to your way of thinking, etc. is now becoming tiresome....finish and klaar....

No sir, science is not another faith ...

Oh really.... I did say, you might have to be prepared to be wrong....

Science as defined by Oxford for your information Sir.....

a systematically organized body of knowledge on any subject.

Religion, is a science my friend...faith, is a science my friend....I'm sorry you are not able to get your head around the concept....Most definately, NOT believing something is a faith...and even blind faith is a science

1+1+1=3 according to you.....cause thats what you have been taught...and therefor ...you believe it to be so...

and just so as we are clear on the word knowlege here is oxford again
