I'm satisfied that I've used reason to reach my decision to believe, yes. I've covered it many times here.

Via thorough investigation of the bible and it's claims I concluded it to be true, and acted upon that information.

I've explored in detail my conclusions, which is a continual process. I investigate and question all the time as I believe I have the responsibility to do.

I'm from a non religious background. Both my parents were not religious. My Mum was quite a strong atheist. My dad made fun.

The scientific method makes use of both empiricism and rationalism. It employs both deductive and inductive reasoning.

Can you provide a rationalistic basis for your theism?

How many times does Frodo need to hear this before it sinks in?
