Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?
RE: Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?
@ padriac, nor would I infer you were. No, I'm not gnostic if that's what you're asking. I'm more agnostic in many of my philosophical views. I was reading the wiki on neoplatonism and that is nowhere near my stance. Belief can either be with or w/o evidence. Faith is beief in the absence of evidence not despite evidence to the contrary. I accept subjective and objective evidence as evidence for subjective truth. I validate that personal truth through reason, logic, peer verification, eliminating as much bias as possible, and constant testing and review. I'm not sure what "societal construct" you would call that. But I know I'm not a materialist for many things. I am a reductivist for some things. Mosre than that, I'll need to study. I'll say if I were to say, "I know there is a God", That would mean I'm probably dead and in front of him. When I say "I believe there is a God" I'm saying there's evidence that I see as relevant, valid and compelling indicating a more than likely scenario of God's existance.

You've never seen religious belief as a matter of choice? I thought you used to be a theist, and then you chose to question and found evidence lacking, thus leaving you and agnostic atheist that's anti-organized religion? That's a choice. I chose to question , found evidence lacking, new evidence presented itself, I reevaluated and thus my stance as theist.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
