Why are you (still) a Christian?

[Bucky Ball]

Thanks for the response.

It seems that personal religious experience is integral to why you believe.

If you hadn't have had any religious experiences, it seems the sole foundation for your belief would just be the historical resurrection argument, which itself largely presupposes that the arguments for God's existence work and rely on some very arguable subjective interpretations of the very limited sources we have.

Do you think you'd still be a believer if you had never had any religious experiences, whether internal or external?

I discovered fairly early that what I had assumed was "religion" was really aesthetics, and the religion part was completely unnecessary. 
3rd Graders don't know the word "aesthetics", so it was a while before I had the words for it. Part of the complexity was also that 3rd Graders know there seems to be "something different", (apparently) and also don't understand "the autism spectrum", (or ever heard about "Mild Asperger's" Syndrome), until my younger brother was born.  And came to see it all eventually as a huge positive asset.
