Thank you, I gained some new insights from this essay.

Observe Paterson, New Jersey, whose mayor declares “his” city to be the capital of Palestine in America.

How is this obscenity permitted to stand?

Tertuallian didn’t say “I believe because it’s absurd.” Ghate is a liar.

It’s not a lie it’s a paraphrase of his ideas that developed during the enlightenment era. Basically, if you read some of the stuff, he believes it does more or less boil down to I believe because it is absurd.

That's quite a statement. Onkar's essay contains good advice from Locke, which you might want to consider: “Who can reasonably expect arguments . . . from him in dealing with others, whose understanding is not accustomed to [arguments] in dealing with himself?” (Essay IV 19 § 2). Look inward before making such pronouncements.
