    To attempt to consider faith rationally or logically is to miss the mark entirely, as shown by Pascal and Kierkegaard. You can only understand faith by experiencing it. Believers and non-believers exist in entirely separate epistemological categories.

    To correct you it’s rationalize God, not faith. Logic and faith are separate, and you can use logic to help strengthen your faith. As Paul once said,

    “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have”

    To illustrate further,

    We need conservatives because sometimes we have to do what worked in the past. We need liberals because sometimes we need to try something new.

    Similarly, both faith and logic have its place.

    In general, having faith in something completely illogical is retarded.

    But what I’m arguing is having faith in God is NOT unreasonable because it actually IS logical if you care enough to seek it.

    The problem happens when people don’t even do the research and say it’s illogical or some dumb shit they pull straight from their ass and mislead the masses. It’s like no, you can’t do that in science class and you can’t do that with this either.

    Mm, please read my post earlier in this thread. I don't fall into these categories.
