Nevertheless, you are to be complimented for starting an interesting and original topic. As for me, I have great certainty for the existence of the God of Classical Theism and a lesser degree of certainty for the divinity of Jesus Christ.
The general revelation that comes from Nature clearly supports the proposition that God exists. Modern science has consistently confirmed that human reason can successfully discover laws of nature. If the world is intelligible and human reason effective then the conclusions of Aquina’s 5 Ways inexorably follow. Therefore, modern science unequivocally supports the proposition that God exists.
I have less certainty that the person of Jesus Christ is identical to the God of Classical Theism. The evidence supporting that conclusion comes from special revelation: historical sources, traditional scriptures, testimonials, and personal experience. These types of sources, by their nature, are interpretive and largely subjective but collectively seem to suggest that Christianity is sufficiently true to justify my acceptance of it.
Neo-Scholastic,
If you're not too embarrassed to tell us, what DIVISION of the primitive faith of Christianity did you swallow? Or, are you a lone wolf of this pagan faith where
you can make up your own acceptances irrelative of the Bronze and Iron Age bible, in why the serial killer Jesus is to be worshipped?
Furthermore, can you tell us in which of the many DIFFERENT JUDEO-Christian bibles you read from, where ironically, they're all correct
even though they contradict each other.
I personally would like to know why you took the delusional route of accepting one of the many primitive sky gods of the Bronze and Iron Age
in the 21st century of logic, reason, and science.
P.S. One cannot help but be insulting to a faith which promotes family division, killing of the innocents, babies smashed against rocks, the
promotion of killing homosexuals, killing women on their wedding night if they are not virgins, and the like. You get it, don't you? Yeah, you do.
