The redneck strike again.

[Whateverist]

Many of us were Christians. Many of us thought we knew God. Yet there was no real evidence to substantiate out beliefs besides our own personal subjective experience, which is not reliable. This was really sad for me because I LIKE Catholicism. I wanted it to be true.

Just wondering if you'd given agnostic theism a go. I'm sure it would be quite a balancing act but it seems some Catholics are able to persist in faith without objective support. Mother Teresa apparently corresponded with the pope about her lack of belief. His response was that her faith must be even stronger and was all the more praiseworthy. My impression is that other higher ups in RCC also manage to admit they don't know if any particular thing in the bible is true but continue to find meaning and satisfaction in faith regardless. We briefly had a poster here who went by Purplundy who seemed to embody such a position. Agnostic theism must not be a very stable position (looking at you Jacob), but it does seem to be a possible one.
