Leap of Faith...

It's not a leap of faith.

It's a PUSH of Faith.

Someone pushed me. :>)

xzinst's a PUSH of Faith

I realize that the "force" behind the acceptance of faith varies among denominations, but no matter how you look at it, the first step had to be complete (blind) acceptance of God. It was not a logical deduction because, as xzins indicated, there is no logical proof that God exists! How can you then use reaosn to come to faith?!? God does not make sense because aything that is eternal, simple, indivisble, transcendental, bigger then the universe, yet somehow can empty itself into a womb of a woman etc., does not really make much sense.
