"It’s faith, but there’s also proof available to each person..." "...But we have no objective evidence of the taste of chocolate, yet each person who has tasted it knows..."

I don't buy your argument. If that was the case I can ask...How do we know that George Washington crossed the Delaware? We have no living eyewitnesses to cross-examine. All we have are written accounts supposedly written by early contemporaries. It's just a myth that we have to take on faith. At the time he was supposed to have crossed the Delaware, he was actually vacationing down in Florida.

I've been a christian for a long time. I don't believe one comes to be a christian by "examining the evidence". I just don't think you get there that way. And while the evidence confirms for the christian, I realize it very much "in doubt" for non-believers. I think christianity comes through faith that God gives us. And only by that way.

Most people who walked past the blind man every day, and then one day saw him healed did not come to believe. Many who knew Lazarus was dead and saw Jesus raise him didn't believe when it became clear that Christ wasn't here to overthrow the Romans. According to the bible many who saw the miracles with their own eyes still didn't believe.

Our society is no different today.

George Washington isn't God. Washington doesn't exist now.

Jesus is and does.
