I once has a plumber who cut a pipe before the water was turned off. Plumbing can be simply very bad.

Now do you have any evidence that your plumbing is more credible than the guy's who flooded my apartment??

Eh????

Am I asking anybody to consider my plumbing credible?

I suppose I am when i go to a new job. They normally ask for references etc. That would be evidence.

Then you've answered your own OP question.

Plenty.
But your thread is about religion, not about God. Keep that straight.

1, Then show your evidence.

2, Do you, or anybody else, have any evidence for any particular religion being any more credible than the evil daeth/pain cult of the flayed god in the OP?

We have never seen a shred of this plenty of evidence. He's not using the word plenty in its dictionary definition.

As the title has been expressed, no, not really, and, yes, in a manner of speaking. There are plenty of faith-based tenets (and corresponding practices) that I think deserve no respect whatsoever. I'm okay with condoning the faith-based belief systems of which I'm fairly familiar; however, I cannot say the same of some of the folks who allege to cleave to some of those same systems.

Perhaps he is ashamed of his Roman Catholic faith and religion? As a recovered Roman Catholic myself, I can understand why.

I'm OK with you condoning whatever religion you choose.

But I am not OK with the ludicrous interfearance with society that comes out of the religious lobby.

Focus on #2 and you'll be all right.

Do you think that your reply in any way actually answers the questions?

If his apartment isn't flooded, that's evidence his plumbing is more credible right there.

And then some.

When I answer a post, such as now, I am generally trying to cause the other person to understand my position or point. To communicate.

Given that I still have no idea what your evidence is for either of the things or what you are getting at with;

I mean what?? Still no idea about evidence, and the reason I separated the questions out was you did not feel able to answer the origonal question which was more simple, so what are you wanting me to conflate?

Really everybody who reads this will utterly understand that you are doing your typical dishonest evaision.

Oy! I want you NOT to conflate, to AVOID conflating, to keep the questions SEPARATE.
I can't do the reading for you. That's on you.
