Modern christian belief has become what Crosby or Polanyi would call naturalistic theism. Where belief in god rests on items of personal experience and natural observation rather than sacred revelation. Lek finds himself at the crux of this change, where naturalism™ in opposition - to him..atheism...makes it hard for him to recognize god...when he considers it. Whereas naturalism™ in content is the ground from which he searches for god as well as the ground from which he makes appeals to us, his fellow naturalists, but not his fellow believers.
If you read my posts, you'll realize I've stated numerous times that I believe because God has revealed it to me. Is God revealing it to me not sacred revelation? Some of my fellow believers, whoever they are, agree with me and some don't. Who do you think are my fellow believers?
