However, I don't see that as an issue, as Christianity is admittedly a faith-based religion. The charge of this thread is basically you can't prove the things you believe on faith, which is of course a NSS observation.
It's unjustified faith if the thing you're putting faith in is unverifiable; no different to believing that my lawn grows because unverifiable gnomes make it grow.
How does one have faith in a verifiable being, once verified faith flies out of the window.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
