Faith is an assertion that a particular belief is true, meaningful and worthy of our trust and effort, no matter what. You do realize that "no matter what" includes when all of the evidence and logic contradicts the belief or idea correct?

You're the one who just justified Christianity by citing commerce.
I also find it hilarious that the only relevance you can find for your beliefs is that it makes people shop more. Why not just throw everything out and have ''Thou shalt shop''?

Because I'm mad. I am aware that it does not, however, justify my actions in insulting said persons, however apt the aggressive name calling was. For the name calling, I apologize. It was most certainly childish of me to do so.

I'm just pointing it out, that Christianity hasn't been totally futile.

You may not be able to fathom it, but I am a proud Christian, I believe that God almighty exists, and I believe Jesus Christ is his son and the Messiah. Ergo, I believe that since God exists, all the things possible to create such a feast would not exist (just as we would not exist).
Really. Christians get to massacre Native Americans, invade holy lands, and the rest of us can't call Easter Zombie Jesus day.
Really.

You might as well claim that we're all children of the Earth, and thus we all have the same culture.

When it's about god, you need to prove that he doesn't exist.
When it comes to leprechauns, I don't need to prove that they don't exist.

The Catholic Church has had a LOT of practice at that.
