Faith seems like such a dirty word to the type of christian who demands evidence. I can never get over that. "Godwillsit" or "Goddidit" is not an adequate defense for anything, right or wrong. It is not an adequate explanation for anything, right or wrong.Ok I'm going to have to watch for Christians who demand evidence. I notice you demand evidence of Christians for the same, so that seems confusing???

This has been explained to both of you at length.)What we can know from our holy book, is that the God we define must fulfil the criteria set. We believe, through head knowledge and gut instinct that these definitions play out perfectly, which then leads us to say that we can know this about God. It's the tip of the iceberg: it certainly isn't full knowledge. What it never is, is connected to your first point.
