Does faith without evidence make religious people more susceptible to scams and false prophets?

Why believe in something with no evidence at all?





Why waste our lifes in pursuit of something that doesn't exist (heaven)?





Why live your life with hate for homosexuals, rape victims who have abortions, people who use condoms, muslims, and everyone else who doesn't buy YOUR brand of salvation?








The end time is near (for religion) help it on it's way http://flushaholybook.comDoes faith without evidence make religious people more susceptible to scams and false prophets?
I have no hate for anyone, ESPECIALLY rape victims who have abortions. What's wrong with condoms? I think you're speaking of the Catholic faith again, which I don't follow.


In answer to your question, YES. That's why I needed scientific and historical evidence to come to God. I'm a doubter.Does faith without evidence make religious people more susceptible to scams and false prophets?
Thank you for the pick...and it's no problem at all!

I see how you could make that connection, turn the other cheek etc. but faith brings guidance.
People are gullible and prefer fairy tales to reality.
*laughing* no evidence?





';all of creation speaks of the existence of God, that no man has excuse';.





So what's yours?
Why do you waste your time with asking redundant questions?





Why waste your life hating Christians
Blind faith breeds fools.Hatered breeds cancer.
people believe in something because they see evidence for its credibility. faith isnt blind, people see evidence for their faith and that is why they believe
holyflusher,





1) no


2) because we trust


3) if you do not believe in heaven, holyflusher, then it is good that you do not waste your time pursuing it


4) people do the best they can. when they know better, they'll do better
No - that is the difference between Faith and truth.





What you believe might not always be the truth ot the right thing - I hope that the Christians and all God based religious people specially as well as others would understand this sooner than later !
There are a lot of false ';prophets'; Look no further than the multimillionaire televangelists on the TBN network.





Mark Charona-has made numerous false prophecies.


Benny Hinn-Claims God talks to him, and can't get a lot right.


Joyce Meyer-owns 5 mansions, 1 jet, 4 guards


Cefro Dolar-Owens two mansion, 2 jets, 3 Rolls Royces!





The TBN network has 341 million cash on hand--and still regulary runs beg-a-thons.
No, it doesn't make you more susceptible, being human makes you more susceptible. Ppl believe because they don't have confidence in themselves to be self sufficient that puts too much of the burden on them for the things that go wrong. As far as hate, it's always nice to blame someone else for the decline of society. Disappointment in faiths is a normal progression of free thought. Liberty I believe is how someone put it. You need not be angry at religion for your time in belief of it. Make your own decisions and others will make theirs.
The definition of faith is believing in something that cannot be proven.





So yes, they're susceptible to anyone and anything that can make a little sense.





As far as your agenda, a less aggressive approach might help you get further.
are you the saviour?


remember,even the prophets has their limitations


it's his way for humans this era to seek revelations


anyway good thoughts
Actually, I believe there is a basis for religion. When all else is gone, people inevitably turn to religion for solace. There is no right or wrong in the religion itself except for the people who are chosen (or claim) to lead it.





Faith without reason can lead to stupidity. But essentially, one must look at the leader of that religion and his/her beliefs and how he/she leads his/her believers.
Nope. Much much LESS susceptible.
nope i have enough wisdom from God to avoid scammers.nope i dont hate anyone group.ill pray for them as i pray for u right now..i love the creator in my own way plz dont put me down or hate me for it..and u can beleive anyway u want to and so can i
Clearly
Possibly. There is a phenomenon of sealing off faith in God in an intellectual bubble, however. People will look skeptically on everything else except that. Those people are possibly no more susceptible to scams than anyone else. I also know plenty of atheists that believe in tarot, occult, and other things. Yet they'd still describe themselves as atheists.
you are, in fact, surrounded with evidence of your own faith. sounds to be like you are the one who has been scammed
no, fool.


faith has no evidence. or it would not be faith.


why make generalizations?
People believe because it gives them answers and something to believe in. That being said, religion is responsible for most of the atrocities throughout human history...
something with no evidence at all?





THERE IS LOTS OF EVIDENCE!
Maybe there is no evidence to prove it, but there is no evidence to disprove it.(heaven).If you have


true faith there is no room for hate of anybody.


People who have faith (with no tangible evidence)


are not more susceptible to scams orfalse prophets. The only guard against that, for anybody, is to use that good old commom sense


we all have, but sometimes do not put to good use.
God said it first now you need to read the explanation
True Christains do not have hate for any of the above things you mentioned. We pray for the lost that they may have eternal life. We also ';IF WELL STUDIED'; Know that we have more evidence than anyone would ever need to believe on God. It is not evidence that prompts you to look however, but the drawing power of God's Holy Spirit of His lost sheep towards Him. The evidence is overwhelming, but only a few folks come to belief based on evidence.
Not if that faith is thoroughly grounded in the Word of God. An intelligent Christian will always check what he encounters with what is taught in the Bible. You claim that there is no evidence, but that is because you have not looked at the most startling evidence of all---the changes in peoples lives. God hates sin but not the sinner. there are Christians that have this backward an unfortunately many of them are pastors playing to the prejudices of their congregations. There will not be many people make it to heaven---and yes it does exist. The sad fact is that most people who think that they are saved are not because the love of Christ is not in their hearts. They live in a vacuum of loveless Christianity, and Christ does not know them. Love is the key, not hate.
who says theres no evidence. do something bout ur ignorance.
