In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus

[Sheldon]

Why, if you don't doubt the claim?

Is your position that you cannot ask questions or analyze claims unless you have the experience of doubt?

You seem to have answered my question with a question, you seem to do this a lot. 

Of course I am not suggesting it is impossible, only that doubt is a stronger motive to critically examine a claim, than the lack of it.

Do you think doubt and faith are compatible?

Yes, I think doubt is integral to faith. 

Sheldon: Religious faith, is defined as "strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof."

I don't see how doubt is an integral part of strong belief? 

You never addressed that question...or offered any reason for your faith that a deity exists?

Anyway I am off out for now...
