- Great post. Very true. - Where I'm at mentally: Human activity can be so bad that it's preferable to believe in God in order to have a defense against demonic behavior. - To go one level deeper, and to turn the focus away from other people, I understand my own proclivity towards evil / sin, which is quite strong, and the church offers a remedy, which is significantly better than the only two real alternatives: buddhism & nilihism. (I don't consider Nietzche's Ubermensch a viable alternative.) - That said, i still think the faith should be held in balance / tension against instinct / thor / odin / zeus / darwin. Sanity / truth emerges from the tension of opposites. - Incidentally, this is a way to avoid the temptation to try to justify christianity in the terms of scientific proof. I watched a lot of people try to do this. It's pointless. Cedes frame. - The faith is the faith. It needs no further justification. - cf "I am who i am" / ipsum esse
