I Am A Christain ask me a Question.

Yes you are welcome to discuss it in that thread.

The simplest reason I can give is in my quote and the OP for that thread ('Why the term 'rational faith' is an oxymoron').

I know you said you don't have physical evidence. But does that mean you admit that you have no valid reason to believe at all? No rational reasons to believe AT ALL?

Because if you had rational reasons to believe that WERE valid that DID hold true because God DOES exist then that would IOW equate to evidence of his existence.

If you have no evidence you IOW have no valid reasons to believe in God's existence - if you did it would IOW equate to evidence of his existence.

So, what valid reason(s) of any shape or form do you have to believe in God's existence? Or in another translation, IOW: What evidence of any shape or form do you have of God's existence?

To state that believing in something must be based on rationality and that rationality must equate to physical evidence isn't always true.

First when I was questioning my faith I researched the Bible. The reliability of the texts that was written. The historicity within the book. The rules, commandments, morality of it. The arguments of many individuals of different faiths bringing forth so called fallacy in the Bible finding them to be incorrect in there attempts. The emotional experiences. The life experiences.

What you are repeating is that do I have actual physical evidence to hold in my hand to state "God Exists" that is something that I do not have. Then you state "If you do not have such evidence then how can you come to the conclusion that your faith is true?

I will say to you it is not a matter of physical evidence to state what I believe is true. It is a matter of collaboration, collection, examinations, study, research and experiences that bring forth the persuasion. Years of things that have done and have happened to mean. If you want full description then I will have to write a book and tell you my life story.
