It seems to me dear kosta has gotten himself into a severe pickle. His position seems to be "anything that I cannot know for a certainty is something not worth knowing." He needs "proof" of God, because that is what constitutes "certainty" for him. If he can't get "proof" of God, then he doesn't have to take Him seriously.

Pickle indeed, how can a life be lead with that level of certainity? How can one be certian of ANYTHING. What level of 'proof' does one use when eating food that it is not contaminated. What level of 'proof' does one use for any other day-to-day action.

Indeed. Thank you so much for your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Maybe you can tell me, because all I see is statements like "God IS" the Bible "is true, believers are "certain of their salvation," etc. Sounds like something pretty certain, yet it's all based on faith alone, but presented as certainty.

What level of 'proof' does one use when eating food that it is not contaminated. What level of 'proof' does one use for any other day-to-day action.

Indeed, what level of proof does one use when saying that God IS? In everyday life we take chances. Being certain of one's salvation doesn't sound like a chance, yet there is no proof whatsoever that it is so; it's all based on one's personal belief, wish, desire, hope, susperstition, whatever.

Everyday life's uncertainties do not require blind faith in uncertainty. Religion does.
