Good evening Del
While I respect what you are telling me I have to admit to you that I am rather dubious. I posted the article in response to what imo was a bunch of cra.. posts about how all Christians, believe what they do, in opposition to the facts. Those that have come to a firm conclusion about the reality and truthfulness of the claims of Jesus Christ are held to be to be some kind of subhuman idiot children who are too weak to face reality, and therefore seek refuge in an imaginary friend. While I think it would be disingenuous to say there is no psychological or moral need for God, it must also be said that there is at least as much Psychological incentive to disbelieve, than there is for faith. I don't know your heart Del, however I would urge you to look within and ask
yourself if there is not something that is blocking your spiritual view. I argue that not only is the existence of God true, but that it is obviously so. The Bible says that God is revealed to all humanity through Creation, extrinsically and through Conscience, internally. It is so obvious, that God claims there is no excuse for missing it. The dog ate my homework won't cut it with God. That does not even include God's special revelation through the Cannon of Scripture and the claims of Christ, validated by His Resurrection from the dead.
Now the real question for the psychiatrists is "why do most people have the deep need for an irrational belief in God in the absence of any evidence for one?"
I submit to you Del, that faith in Christ is not only Rational, but that there is more than ample evidence to believe. I think the irrationality is the other way around
Have a good day
