IF GOD EXISTS, THEN HE CERTAINLY DOES NOT CARE FOR YOU AT ALL

[median]

So why don't I just limit myself to reason? Reason itself has its limitations. Once again, I have to take a leap of faith into believing that my faculties (including my reason) are functioning correctly.

How can I truly know that my reasoning is correct?

I can never truly know. Therefore, I acknowledge that I have to have faith in certain things (including reasoning).

Furthermore, this does not conflict with my faith. In other words, I have to abandon my reason in order to take a leap of faith in believing in Christ. I have to have faith in the "absolute paradox.". See my post on Kierkegaard for this notion.

This is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. You are attempting to justify your faith in the alleged Jesus (which anyone, of any religion, can do for their deity), while rejecting reason, by arguing that reason is limited? Your conclusion does not follow from your premises. Taking a leap in the dark toward your particuar interpretation of your particular deity is not justified by merely pointing out a fact of reality. So we can't know with absolute certainty that our reasoning is applying to some absolute "objective" reality...so what! This fact doesn't get you to Yahweh, Elohim, Jehovah, Jesus. It should get you to skepticism, testing, critical thinking (and most importantly) consistency. Why don't you start rejecting reason for other things in life? How about when a salesman comes to your door, or when someone claims they have swampland in Arizona to give you (just sign here!)? You are practicing hypocrisy.

Do you apply the same standards of evidence to your own religious beliefs, that you do to other extraordinary claims?
