Its not a controversy to a "decided" person though, so its the same to us.
Yes, I know it's not controversial to you. But that's not what "controversial" means. "Controversial" means it is controversial to the group composed of reasonable persons.
Is the existence of God controversial to the group of all reasonable persons in the world? Yes. Some reasonable persons believe in God, other reasonable persons don't.
Is "1 + 1 = 2" controversial to the group of all reasonable persons in the world? No. However, it can be controversial to a special group of loonies who believe the answer should be "3" ...
But even if it's controversial to the loonies, "1 + 1 = 2" still remains non-controversial, and still remains a provable fact. Malayong-malayo pa rin sa belief in the existence of God.
A reason to believe in God would only be relevant to the non-believer. Why would you need a reason to believe in God if you already believe in God?
So if the reason would only be relevant to a non-beliver, let's use that reason in trying to convince the atheist. "
You should believe in God because He is God," sabi mo sa atheist. Hindi pa rin circular reasoning yon para sa iyo? Wala na kong magagawa sa yo sir...
================================
I have a feeling that we're not on the same page. Did you think I was an atheist? You will notice that I capitalize "G" when I write "God."
I believe in God, and I've been studying the bible for more than 30 years. But it is my view that belief in God comes from faith, and that His existence cannot be proved by science or logic.
Pansinin mo yung logic mo sir, umiikot lang at laging bumabalik sa umpisa ...
