Personal preference. "Makes sense," as you'd say. It's more like a matter of taste.
Fair enough. I just don't think that personal preference constitutes a "base" from which to witness, hence my comment. I cannot tell you with any credibility that you should always order my favorite pizza toppings simply because I like them. :)
FK: "The reason I say that your faith is "baseless" is that you admit that it is blind."
Of course it's blind; faith requires that leap of faith in order to exist.
In that case you cannot believe that true faith is a gift from God. With the gift, no leap is necessary. All of our questions, for which we need answers, are answered in scriptures. Faith a la carte is not the Biblical way.
So, then, you are forced to be a Christian?
With the gift, no leap is necessary
God offers; He doesn't force it upon you. Gifts can be turned down. You don't have to accept. You accept because you have made up your mind.
We are faced with the dilemma as to what created all this. We have no proof either way. One choice is God. Those who accept that God created all this made a leap of faith. But that decision does not constitutte proof that what created all this is indeed God.
