Quote:I was wondering how does one get from external morality to therefore god is real and it is the god of the bible and the bible is true.
Just a few easy steps:
1. Convince yourself that the logical progression of thought is not part of theist arguments.
2. Start with your conclusion and work back towards your premise.
3. Ignore the TCF (Theistic Convenience Factor: 'The God that is real is the God who is most like me').
4. Remember that religious bigotry is something that occurs in other people ONLY.
5. Never forget that the moral strictures with which you, personally, are most comfortable are the ones most likely to be true.
Once you immerse yourself in these, the sky is - quite literally - the limit: You'll be able to convince yourself of ANY theistic proposition.
