Yes, but my point is that I don't see any evidence for christianity, which makes it irrational. That is simply my point, and answering it could be as simple as presenting some evidence to me.
You mention the New Testament. What specifically in those books would you present as evidence?
Jesus, miracles, rising from the dead...you know, the core of the NT.
The reason I ask is that to deny the content of the NT is evidence for God, you have to have, at least, good reason to think the writers were mistaken or lying. There is no where near evidence for this especially for someone who already was a Christian and, by definition, did not have a bias against the existence of God. Are you simply dismissing the NT because it contained miracles and you think miracles in general don't happen?
In my opinion each person accumulates different amount of faith. Maybe his faith evaporated completely by now.
I for example at the moment cannot not believe in Gods existence, even after abandoning my attempts to practice religion.
I have met very nice religious people, which gave me faith that there gotta be something more than dead matter behind this world. Although now it doesnt matter, because Gods will has so much pain involved behind it, that it isnt worth it, in my opinion.
