It's up to you though. I don't want to force you to do anything or if you don't feel comfortable with it that's fine. Maybe it'll come up one of these days more 'naturally' through discussion.
In other words you have pure faith and are not an evidentialist.
No, I can't go under philosophy because I don't know any philosophy and the terms frighten me. I wouldn't argue for God either cos it's a lost cause if one does. It's simple. God to me isn't a being. But we speak of him as a being the way the old miracle plays talked about attributes as people and so you have Honesty slapping Sloth etc. That's all there is to it. I have no great philosophical thesis on such a basic thought.
Ah, fair enough. Surely this simple thought though is what drives you to say things like "the Bible isn't reliable" (or something like that. I saw it in another thread).
