Faith is a measure of irrationality

[ronedee]

The idea that maybe any one of these events wouldn't meet your own standard of evidence - but that all of them surpasses it to the point of belief in a god is staggering. A lot of bad evidence equals good evidence? Since when? I can point you to a half dozen people who admit to shooting jfk. Hell, if 200 people admitted to it, would that be good evidence that 200 people shot jfk? 2,000? 2mil?

"Things kept happening".....were things going to start "not happening"? "Things" are going to keep happening so long as you keep breathing, is my guess.

I suppose, in short, I can't but point out that what you've expressed thusfar is deeply, deeply irrational. Again, I doubt that your faith hinges on any of this, or that any of it actually brought you to faith.

"deeply irrational"?! To you maybe. But, I have living, breathing proof!

Call it anything you want. But it works for me, and mine. And has been for years.

It keeps my Faith strong going forward. I've erased fear of anything out of my life by the Grace of the Holy Spirit. It's an amazing thing to have absolutely no fear of anything, or anyone!

And the only way to have that is to have God.

Rondee, the problem you can't seem to grasp is that you have absolutely no objective standard by which anyone should accept your interpretation of events as miracles. No evidence, just conjecture, because... you felt it in your gut? Because your imagination fails to consider every factor? (Humanly not possible). Why accept your word for it and not the UFO abductee or televangelist? Their testimony is far more persuasive than, "I hoped a loved one would heal! And she did! And I can't explain it!" Even so, the brain is prone to see things, that's the point. Some of us don't just accept everything "we see." This isn't the Middle Ages anymore. Better explanations are available. We know this.

And I said I accept your doubts. But, "I"..."ME" has proof! And it don't matter what you or the others think. It doesn't affect me in the least!

I related my experience... one of many... and it was to show you that I believe, because of that... and MANY others.

As I said: call it whatever you'd like! I'm good with that. But, your opinions mean nothing really to me. Just as mine mean nothing to you!

We come from two different worlds of thought.
