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).
