Question(s) for the Religious
#37
RE: Question(s) for the Religious
To Christians, they "know" God.

Just as I know my father.

If I said I had faith in my dad to be there for me, it would be the definition of faith that means something closer to belief based on experience and interaction.

Of course, I would never say that I have faith that my father is real. I could produce evidence of that.

I would say that I know.

Christians tend to say the same things about their God, but their evidence can't be seen without an act of blind faith in the beginning. The part where they decide they're willing to start a relationship with this "God" character and accept that there is no reason to do so in the beginning, however, after you swallow the God-pill, everything in the universe becomes justifiable evidence.
