[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot understand why people who are otherwise very smart and logical people believe in god. The idea of a god has never made sense to me, even as people in my family taught me about god and religion. I exclude the religious nut jobs from this question and want to address Those who are educated and feel they have a good deal of common sense in other areas.  What makes you believe? Is there any LOGICAL reason behind your beliefs?  [/quote]

Have you read widely on philosophy and logic?  Read some St. Thomas Aquinas, Pascal, Kant, etc etc etc and then come back to talk.  If you haven't bothered to actually educate yourself about the beliefs and faith traditions of millions of people, whether you think they are valid or not, why should I justify myself to you?

+1. I'm one of the believers posting images here. I recently finished St. Augustine's Confessions. I've also read St. Thomas Aquinas, some Kant, Spinoza, Borg, Dawkins and many more. I'm pretty sure that's more than the trolls here, including the bit about Dawkins.[/quote]
