In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
RE: In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus
We have trust in things that, after being granted an initial largesse, reward us by fulfilling our expectations. That's not how religious faith works. God doesn't come down and find your car keys for you. You believe that your expectations have been fulfilled based upon a feeling. But that feeling isn't necessarily caused by God. So you believe your trust has been fulfilled because you want to believe that your trust has been fulfilled. That's not at all trust in. That's essentially circular reasoning resting on your initial largesse of blind faith. That's similar to a stalker believing that their idol secretly loves them, that their idol has shown that they love them, even if it's not evident to anyone but the stalker.
