I haven't conversed with you for a while, Rob. I hope last weekend went well. It sounds like a cause we can both agree upon. This we can't agree upon.
If I knew Jesus when he walked the earth and I saw him heal the sick, raise the dead, and rise from the dead himself, then declare he was God, I would believe him. In the same way I believe the written and oral testimony of those who did. I also believe the testimonies of trusted people who profess to have had personal experiences with God. This is not just based on wishful thinking or whatever. Because these reasons are not good enough for you, doesn't mean they are not good reasons.
