If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?

[Esquilax]

Who's trying to prove God exist, I'm not and I do not believe I've seen any Christian here try it, most of us believe that it is God's work to prove He is real. God asks us to be a witness for Him and then He will draw people to Himself and let them decide to believe or not. Even the scriptures do not try to prove God's existence.

Well, to quote your beloved bible...

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

So... hey.

Firstly, can I say that I find the god of the bible to be a logical god, and that the concept stands up to scrutiny. Also, some philosophical arguments address the nature and attributes of the Christian God.

I notice you've been saying this a lot lately, but that whenever you do you fail to detail exactly what it is about your god that's logical and consistent with a realistic worldview. Could you? It's kind of hard to consider it when it's just a bare assertion.

That's why faith is put up as such a virtue. If you accept faith as a virtue why bother with the rest?

I don't actually think many christians do believe faith is a virtue, hence all these supposed logical proofs for the existence of their god, but even more tellingly, hence the continued use of the "it takes more faith to be an atheist!" and "you have faith in science!" arguments. Those things smack as attempts to bring the atheist down to the level of the theist, which implies that the theist making them thinks faith is something one is reduced to, rather than being a justification on its own.

Either that, or it's a glaring hypocrisy, where their faith is fine and justified, but all other faiths are negative.
