intresting questions---simply stated I believe that your beliefs are your own collections of what you consider right and wrong. This does not have to deal with a god or spirituality or anything in particular. I also dont believe that using your senses should necessarily make a belief stronger. The senses are not 100% reliable. Think of optical illusions. They are a proof that are senses are not reliable. Therefore, belief cannot depend on senses.

When we think about belief is something unique to humans. Therefore they should depend on something that is also unique to us. Senses are not unique. Animals and humans use senses. Belief can only be increased or decreased based on the mind. In other words knowledge is the only thing that can increase or decrease beliefs.

In regards to the bible, I believe that there is a lot of room for error. **I dont intend to offend anyone, just respnd to the thread** Can you tell me, why are there so many versions of the bible. Were there different messages being preached? or is there only one method? If there was only one method, then there should be only one version, right? Hmm...Also personally I dont believe Jesus ever preached anything about the Trinity. To this day no one has convinced me that the Trinity can logically make sense.

Only one thing really makes sense. Mankind is limited in his abilities. He cannot run as fast as a cat or sense smell like a dog or lift as much as a bear. If we are so limited in all of our abilities, then we need guidence. So where do we go for guidence??
