Zach, we know what your personal faith is. If you want to make a convincing argument, however, you need to do a little more than continue to ask rhetorical questions. How about making your case using some objective reasoning that might convince someone who doesn't share your faith?

There are 6 billion people in this world. Only a fraction of them are Christians. Somehow the great majority of the world manages to live a life that's moral and not anarchic without looking to God for their strictures.

Perhaps you could answer the question I asked in post #220.

Without God there is nothing transcendent. Thus there is no transcendent moral value at all. Thus the sole arbiter of right and wrong is the mind of man. And if mankind decides right and wrong he also determines rights. And what mankind giveth mankind can taketh away.

That seems pretty concrete to me. Do you agree?

Of course it seems to me that most people live as if they have transcendent rights. They do so because all people have in them a dim knowledge of God.

And God has spoken - His Bible remains historically tested, theologically consistent, the very spoken Word of God. I'd advise anyone searching for concrete teaching on God to start there.
