Exactly. so long as you can question your beliefs and still believe in them, then you are convinced that your beliefs are right, and I respect that. if you believe something without ever questioning it, you are blind.
Absolutely, but there are far too many theists who simply cannot conceive of questioning their beliefs. They're right. So there. No amount of proof that they are wrong will change that.

Faith doesn't give you a license to ignore reality, sorry. I can't tell you how many times I've had theists claim that faith trumps everything else. Belief in Santa Claus doesn't make Santa exist, any more than it makes God exist.
