Its easy, Dan. I cant see air, but I know it is there. Deprive me of it and I will die. There is all manner of scientific and practical evidence to support the existence of air.
Whats more rational? That the earth is 6000 years old, or that the earth is many millions of years old. That Jesus' mother was entered by the Holy Spirit, or knocked up by Joseph. That Noah built a really big boat and brought the animals in two by two, or that this just silly? That JC rose form the dead and ascended to Heaven, or that saying so has been the basis of what has become the most powerful and richest social institution in the world? That if you had been nborn in another culture you would probably be just as convinced of ist god, and that I still wouldnt be?
As a Xtian you are required to reject all other gods. I forget whose quote it is (and Im bound to be misquoting) but- "we are both aethists. You however believe in one more god than I do. When you understand why you reject all other gods, you will understand why I reject yours."
