Faith...

If you are religious, how do you rationalise yours? I realise you are not really supposed to, as it part of you, but surely you must question your belief?

I am an atheist so it is an alien concept to me. I just see no reason/evidence for the existence of a God.

I am not judging or saying you are wrong, just fascinated.

What makes you believe that the Bible, Quran etc was not just made up by some imaginative scholar? It's the fundamental belief that I am interested in. It is ok reading and believing certain paragraphs but what makes you believe that's it's the word of God?

I believe and that is enough for me. I don't need to prove anything to myself or others. Each to thier own i say.

That is blind belief without question and that is what I find so hard to understand.

I've just recalled what Isaac Asimov said. It may have some relevance here. He said that in his opinion Science won over Faith/Religion the minute that they started fitting lightning conductors to Churches.

I like that
