Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God

You can tell just how far I've waded into this thread by how far back this quote goes. So maybe my point has already been made. Regardless, I wonder whether faith really necessitates reason or just rationalization. If the latter, then religious belief is far from unique. All of us embrace values which are primary enough that they can only be reasoned from, not to. For these, all one can do is put the best spin possible on them but they never rise to the level of a reasoned position IMO.
