Drew, people believe first, justify later.
If there were arguments that people claimed can prove morality for example, people might stop believing morality on faith, but rather seek to justify via arguments.
There is of course a problem, in that some people might trade their faith, for an argument, from the perspective we suppose to have faith directly, and not indirectly.
We seek confirmation to anything we believe.
Of course, I did the same thing, and now my faith is quite shaken
Before you reasoned in the way you reasoned, do you believe you were justified in faith in God if you had faith in God?
