Almost to a person, this is one area of their lives where theists think it's ok to suspend logic. They may be logical when it comes to most everything else, but when it comes to sky gods and religion, they put that in a seperate category.

Splendour, Brad1970: Any response?

I dont accept it is impossible to maintain a rational belief in God, although I concede it is more effort and often not one actually undertaken. I dont suspend logic in this area of my life - I've discovered I believe in something and am examining the consequences of that. If I find the concept of god to be logically untenable, I highly doubt the belief will endure.

Bunny,
Haven't you said that there are aspects to your belief in God that you cannot justify logically?
Perhaps not all aspects, since I think you feel a rational belief based on an experience you've had, which you consider evidence for yourself. But certainly some aspects. For instance, why you're a Christian and not simply a deist for example. Do I have this right?
