Default Re: An Inescapable Conclusion about Some Religions

[ QUOTE ]
In many ways, love is an uncontrolled physiological response to another human, whereas faith is a voluntary shutting down of mans rational faculty.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have faith that God is in control because of evidence. I have faith in God because for my whole life He has never proved himself unfaithful to me. I have faith in God because I have evidence of His faithfulness in Scripture.

Although I'm sure these words have meaning to you, it reads like nonsense. What evidence is there that god is in control? Also, stating that you have faith in god because you have evidence of his faithfulness in a book shows you are not using your "god given" faculties of reason and logic. Millions of kids have faith that santa claus is real, and they also have evidence of that faith in stories from their parents and in books about the jolly fat man, yet they are clearly being deluded. Please acknowledge that you have just as much reason to believe in your god as these kids have to believe in santa.
