"Faith is the evidence of things not seen..." Millions have suffered, been victimized, tortured, and killed for their faith in Jesus. Millions have cared for the poor, healed the sick, and show love in the name of Jesus. Pretty strong empirical evidence."
You got it backwards - millions (or is it billions?) have suffered, been victimized, tortured, and killed by those proclaiming faith in Jesus. More than have been by all other faiths in history COMBINED.
Millions have cared for the poor, healed the sick, and show love in the name of Jesus but not in their own name during Lent or some other Church sponsored mission, then went home bragging about their illustrious deeds while talking ill of the 'lowly' they left behind with their little gold star on their lapel.
Pretty strong empirical evidence.
