So why busy yourself by trying to reason the logistics of it?

Oregon I appreciate your comment but I was talking to the atheists. I know why you have faith in Christianity, that wasn't the point.

Whose funny, if you know hell doesn't exist, why bother getting upset when they say those names to you?

some times people get the word reason and the word excuse confused
I am a Christian and I do concern my self with reason but do not concern my self with excuses,as the old saying goes excuses are like______ every one has one

You sound young. Young people have great confidence in what they know. In time you will get to see what you were taught is often changed as new discoveries show that the old theories were in the wrong direction. The point being that much of what you are taught as fact is in truth theory based on some tiny piece of misread evidence. The fact is that our belief in these facts is because you had faith in your teachers and not that you discovered this information on yor own or have even witnessed it. If I write book, does that make it true? Take care in judging faith as it appears you have great faith in your logic, which is just another verion of faith.

First, the word is "logic(s)," not "logistics."
Second, your premise is flawed for two reasons: 1) Christianity is concerned with reason, and 2) "Faith" is "belief," not "blind acceptance." There is no dichotomy between faith and reason. Faith may be based on reason, or it may not.
By the way, I can see why you have such a hard time reasoning with people.

I know what you are saying. It's just that I really don't think that you gave it a fair chance. There are two possibilities that I know of to explain what it is that you are going through:
1)You really don't want to know. You don't have the Spirit of God in you, because you cannot understand without His guidance.
2) You really tried, but you still don't get it.
If you WANT to know God, then I would encourage you to keep at it. But If you DON'T really care, give it up, you will NEVER get it.
Without God's Spirit, you will NEVER get it.

To God's glory, reason (logic) provides a foundation for faith; Christians simply accept that God is more 'logical' than oneself currently.

But it is not. I know my reason. Faith starts when the proof ends. That goes both ways. I have faith in Jesus. : )
If God exists - and He does -then your focus on God changes everything. : )

You're right. People shouldn't use reason to try and understand Christianity.

There's something that would shut up the majority.
Let them provoke the apocalypse....and then let them make a prophecy in their sleep...and wait for the messiah.....and let them look at the empty sky, with no flying jesus.
That would shut them up.
Faith does not rule out reason, it only poisons it.
