This Is A Fair Question

[Simon Moon]

And that sort of fallacious circular logic does not bother you? Rhetorical question, no need to answer. Of course not, or else you wouldn't be a believer.

"The Bible is true because god says it is. Where does god say the Bible is true? In the Bible. And why do I believe the Bible? Because it says it is true in the Bible. And how do I know the Bible is true? Because it says it is 'God-breathed' in the Bible."

Simon, Simon, Simon:

I made two separate statements you turned into "circular reasoning". It's my fault. It wasn't what I meant. I'm sorry. I ain't no "believer" either. I trust God. I do not "believe". That's a bad translation. God NEVER asked me to believe in Him. He only asked me to trust Him. And this I have done which resulted in one of the most adventurous and successful lives I have ever seen!

Belief is the psychological state in which one accepts a premise or proposition as being true. If you accept the proposition that "God" exists, you do believe. This is a separate issue on whether you "trust" or not.

My life has been so off the charts, I'm quite sure you would rather read about then live through it. But man am I having fun!

Oh but, that's just anecdotal. I, graduated from California public high school, in Surf City USA, a stupid surfer whom never rubbed two nickels together and called it a dime. Yet, I wish I had a dime for every dime I have! I also did not graduate from college--fuck school!

Yeah, I know plenty of people who have turned their lives around without 'Jesus'.

I also graduated from the LAUSD, I've been surfing my entire life, still live in LA, still surf several times a week, didn't graduate college, still have a great career in IT as a network engineer. No magic prayers or gods required.
