It's as amusing to myself to dissect your jokes as it is for you to ridicule my belief system.
Ridicule is the price one pays for irrational approaches to truth.
Nobody has ever complained about someone else ridiculing their belief in the height of Mt Everest. Since Mt Everest is a real thing that actually exists, we can just go measure it. No faith required there - that's only required when you're talking about imaginary things.
You have a faith based worldview as well, you just don't think you do. While I would agree that Mt Everest is a real mountain that can be measured, can you
personally perform that act, or do you need to trust the claim of someone else? What
first hand evidence do you possess that the proto-planet Pluto exists? That Nelson Mandela (who died today) was more than a fictional character, or that James Bond was not? That Americans have ever visited the Moon?
The truth is, you don't. You could have the ability to prove to yourself that some of these things are truth, but no single person could prove that all of them are truth. You live as a lifeform for which a faith-based worldview is a physical and psycological requirement for any kind of sane or rational interaction with the rest of humanity. You must put your faith in someone. In whom, or what, you choose to believe in says as much about you as what, or whom, you choose to deny.
