Ah, so you're the one I should trust.

Imagine if one could assemble a gathering including a representative of every different religion all of whom are willing to die for their beliefs. At MOST, only one of them would be right. Seems pretty presumptuous to me.

As one of our greatest presidents said, "trust but verify."

No, not presumptuous. Western civilization, based upon Judeao-Christian tenets, has accomplished more in 2000 years (by any/all measures), than all belief systems in 10,000 years combined.

Again, I wish you well on your journey.

Logic? Go read the Life of St. Peter. The man who denied Christ, bolted from Calvary for fear of his life, and then having witnessed the Risen Christ in the flesh, this ordinary fisherman whose logic is experiencing the elements of nature, now gives himself up to execution and request that he be crucified upside down and that he not be dignified with the same manner of execution as his Master.

Or read Miracle at Lourdes. “For those who believe no explanation is needed, and for those who don’t no explanation is enough.”
