On Psalm 109 and Faith

[€uroMeinke]

I think a trap non-believers get into is the presumption that belief in God is something singular. The various philosophical "proofs" of God seldom provide evidence of the vengeful God of the old testament, or the forgiving God of the new, or even the pantheon of Hindu or polytheistic faiths. Perhaps there are some other 1-10 scales to rank your belief in God on omniscience, omnipotence, benevolence, and singularity.


For myself I take an Occam's razor approach and find the belief in God to be unnecessary for me to live my life and make decisions. But should I have some numinous experience with the mysterium tremebdom, who knows? I can only live out m own life based on my own experiences, I know people who believe they have experienced God as a very real way, and its as fruitless for me to convince them their experiences were not real as it is for them to discount my own experiences.
