You have to understand that while you accept something as fact based on faith, others do not have that same faith as you. The whole point of you putting the word out there and trying to get people to "understand" what you have to say is that you want them to accept the same things through faith as you have done.

You can present as much "evidence" as you want but there is absolutely no way of proving what you believe in to someone that does not have faith in the same things you do. You can't make a logical argument for someone to have faith in something. They either do or they don't. It's a decision they have to make and any amount of "proof" from your Mormon propaganda sites isn't going to make your argument any more logical.

As for myself, I have my own beliefs but I know that not everyone else has those same beliefs. When I explain those beliefs to other people I don't make any attempt to "prove" them. I say it's what my religion has to say on the matter, and leave it at that. All I do is offer up another viewpoint that I have happened to learn from my own religion, because to do anything more than that goes beyond simply informing people and telling them that what I say is the absolute truth.

Is it that hard of a concept for you to understand that people with different beliefs from you can have faith in something just as strongly as you have faith in what you believe?
