I once had a lengthy discussion with my brother in law about the existence/non-existence of god.
He insisted that he believed in god because of logic rather than faith.
After some 6 hours of debate, slowly dissecting the layers of his reasoning, he finally admitted that the seed of his reasoning was faith after all and not logic at all. He therefore was forced to admit that ultimately, his whole arguement was based on faith.
I know it seems like a long discussion over something that many may consider a minor point, but to both of us it was important, as I think such fundamental points should be.
It's important to be able to seperate what people arrive at through logical reasoning from ideas based on faith.
How many christians make the same mistake as my brother in law?
