What defines a "non-believer"? Faith is faith and it can't be proven or disproven. No one is right or wrong when it comes to a discussion about God our Creator. Christianity and other belief systems attempt to explain the world that we as humans are unable to experience with our limited 5 senses. Our God cannot be described with words or images because he is not worthy of our flaws.

The Bible has been translated over 8 times and with each translation, went some of the literal meaning. Some words simply don't translate from one language to the next, so metaphors were used to convey the message. Instead of a physical sword, do you think Jesus advised to be quick at the wits so as to be able to "slay" a foe with words?
