Faith that's true never contradicts reason.

I am certainly not a fundamentalist by any stretch of the imagination and am not a regular church-goer. But human beings are flawed and by definition, human reasoning is flawed.

Assuming that an all-powerful God must be constrained by our own perception of reality is probably not a good assumption.

An assumption I don't make.

The ability to reason has been flawed for certain, especially by human sin. All I'm saying is, the deeper one looks at actual facts...looking with an open mind, the less one is inclined to to be afraid of the percieved conflict between faith and reason.

Matters of faith need not be put in a box...(or for Christains, one's brain should not be put on a shelf, when dealing with your faith) labeled "normal logic and rules of reason do not apply."

Not contradicting reason doesn't mean everything can be explained, by any means--it only means a good God made the world, and rationality itself... hence God is reasonable, no really, more than reasonable--and never less.

It is us who need to regain our reason--and that's why God made grace.

I'm having a hard time finding an excuse to treat you as if you are somehow qualified to represent either the nature of God or what He has revealed in His word. Do you know why? It is that little confessional part where you reveal that you forsake the assembly of the saints.
