Otherwise, God's way could lead to atheism. So basically, all your saying is that a person must believe in belief before he or she believes.see the post prior to your post. I address this exact thing.
I read that but it still doesn't answer my question. If a person continually examines the reasons for faith in Christ, and keeps reaching the conclusion that they are nothing short of ridiculous, not to mention unsubstantiated by any credible methodology, is this contrary to "God's way"? Or does God require intellectual dishonesty, which is the conclusion many of us have reached in examining the rationale behind faith?
