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.
If you're not too embarrassed to tell us, what DIVISION of the primitive faith of Christianity did you swallow? [hide]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.
You have nothing to say about general revelation? Maybe because then you would have to concede my point, i.e. modern science unequivocally supports the proposition that God exists.
Other than that, you might as well piss in the rain for all I care about your insane ranting against Christianity. You wanted to know the degree of certainty I (we) had about my (our) faith. I said I thought Christianity was more than likely. Then you go off on me because I’m not absolutely 100% committed to some narrow-minded sect that exists only in your imagination. That’s just you being a dick.

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.
As I recall the most vocal opponents of killing innocent unborn children are Christians. Likewise, nearly every major Christian denomination offers support services for troubled marriages and family counseling. Christians are not murdering gays or non-virgin women in the street. YOU. ARE. DELUSIONAL.
