Me and Pinky

Okay, I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick of this constant bickering. I've decided to bring our differences out into the open, and try and get some kind of resolution for them...

Oft-asked Question: Why do you two go on arguing, even though you know neither of you are going to give in?

My Answer: Of course, I can't speak for Pinky, but I take part in these debates purely as an attempt to learn more about other people. I first started arguing with Pinky in an attempt to understand what she believes. I now, of course, have more than enough information, but still I go on. Why? Because I seek to understand why she believes what she does.

The way I see it, you can believe something for one of two reasons:

1) You have seen Evidence for it, and believe that that evidence outweighs any conflicting evidence.

2) Blind Faith.

There is no 'third way', since if there is no evidence, then you are by definition believing purely through Blind Faith. I would like to stress that I am not saying that this is necessarily a bad thing. In many ways, I envy those who can believe in something on Faith alone, for I am unable to...

Basically, I want to know whether Pinky considers herself to be believing through Blind Faith or through Evidence. She claims to have Evidence, but refuses to post it no matter how much we ask her to.

The purpose of this topic is to put an end to these arguments. For this purpose, I will require one of two responses from Pinky:

Either:
1) She posts the Evidence that she has for her beliefs,
Or:
2) She admits to Blind Faith, for good or bad.

There. It's simple. What's your answer, Pinky?
