Faith is a measure of irrationality

[ronedee]

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

Um..no, Ron, deeply irrational, as in deeply irrational as defined by logical constraints - the authority on what is or is not within the purvey of what is "rational". You don't have living breathing proof because you don't have any proof. Inigo Montoya moment. What you have isn't even evidence that you would accept (if you didn't have faith), if you'll recall.

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

What works? What work is it doing? What is it? Do I dismiss this out of hand or are we going to see something to consider?

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.

Just what, or whom...in your imagination....do I fear? Your claim would seem to be untrue by the simple virtue of my presence in the discussion. Seems to me that you feel that I'm out to prove that you're wrong on these claims. I'm not, I don't care. I think that they're campfire stories. What I am engaging you about, is your continually underachieving rational process. I feel that I've made a fairly simple point here - and I've humored you piling claims on top of claims, but I don't think I'm willing to go any further unless we can get a little back and forth going.

This is quite comical... How do you explain Faith to people that have none?

Its like explaining the sky to a blind person. They have absolutely no concept of what you are talking about!

I "EXPECT" God to hear my prayers. And He answers them.

When you have a relationship with God? NOTHING ELSE MATTERS BUT THAT!

I'm seeing why Jesus was crucified right before my eyes. People got pissed because they couldn't understand Him!
