Im not quite sure what these people think they were doing but making a point wasnt it lol
have you ever heard someone compare god to wind by saying "well you cant see the wind but one can see the effects of the wind" - um god is not the wind though and what i was supposed to think becaue rolling my eyes is all i did lol

have you also heard people compare faith as to sitting in a chair?
"well you sit in the chair not knowing if will hold you or not but you have faith it will"
ok i never had any crisis of faith about a chair holding me or not
- also one person said god was like the redwood trees in northern california - ok god is not those trees though - ahh!

1)why do people make irrelevant comparisons and anologies?
2)has anyone done this to you?
3) how did you react
rationalism lol
add common sense and logic
and people say "thats where faith comes in"
um no not at all actually - i want understanding instead
