"You can't out train a bad diet" and "you can't out earn bad spending habits" what are some other true clichés along the same lines as these? (lemmy.world)

This is the exact wrong place to try and have a discussion about religious beliefs. Regardless of what I say it will be downvoted to hell or taken in bad faith. I'm not interested in either. Whatever you believe and why is absolutely fine for you. In no way would anything I say convert you to my way of thinking nor would I necessarily want to. I'd also need a way more detailed explanation of how you logic-ed your way out of all religion to even understand where we disagree. I would have said the same thing if you said you faith-ed your way out of believing in science. That's not really how faith or science work.

You started one though

I wasn't starting a theologic discussion I was disagreeing with a statement. I used a simple response and ended it there. I then clarified why specifically I wouldn't want to have said theologic discussion in this setting. Especially considering the premise of logic-ing your way out of faith is a fundemental misunderstanding of both concepts in my personal completely subjective opinion. Trying to express my more detailed opinions wouldn't change anyone's mind or lead to any sort of new thinking. It would lead to me being heavily downvoted and/or dog piled on in this setting.
