I don't have the answers for everything, other more knowledgable scholors may be better advised to suit your needs. I have tried to express my opinions and reply to that which i can. I've stated pretty much all the information i have at my immediate knowledge about what i know about God and why i think my beliefs are justified. This is all i can do, for this thread shall not be able to answer whether there is or is not a God. Every individual must make his or her own mind up, regardless of what other people tell you.

The philosophy i've posted all throughout this thread is comprehensive and rational, imo. I believe i am rational in holding my beliefs based on these theories as you probably believe you are rational for holding your own beliefs. There are two fundamental theories of knowledge: Rationalism and Empiricism. I can justify my belief in God with both.

that's fine in stating that you believe it's rational, but to say specifically that "a rational person does ...." would stand to reason that an irrational person does the opposite.
To state that the "more rational" person gambles on God, would imply that a less rational person gambles against God. I gamble against God, and criticize your reasoning. You cannot claim to be "more rational" if you can't defend your reasons against a less rational person... ie: me.
I'm asking if you're relinquishing the idea that your views are "more rational" than another's, I'm not asking if you're relinquishing the views themselves.

You're taking me out of context. Those statements came from a lot of steps before the conclusions. The reason it says the more rational person should believe in God follows from the premises before that statement. It's philosophy, there's no room for flip flopping, the theories attempt to their best ability to put forward why someone can justify believing in God. It does not say 'there is a God' It says based on the premises, it is rational to hold these views that there is a God.
Personally, i don't think i'm more rational then anyone for believing in God. Some people don't associate rationality with faith and some do.
I do believe everything has an explanation. Including the universe and why humanity is here on Earth. Perhaps the answer is the most simplest, yet the most complex.

What makes the Christian God so much more valid than any other god? Why is it he that is real? I'd like to know why, other than "because the Bible says so." And if that is your response, I'd like to know why the Bible is more credible than any other book like it. Really, there is no reason to believe in the Christian God rather than any other god, except that it all comes down to personal preference. So considering that, Christians have no argument for why they should believe the Christian God is the right and real one, rather than Allah, or the Sun god, or some other Pagan gods. What about Zeus? Most Christians deny the existence of Zeus and many other gods within greek mythology. But why can't they be right, and your Christian God be wrong?

I believe in Jesus Christ, i follow his philosophies to the best of my ability. I don't believe the issue should be which religion but that there's a divine creator, that's what i think. I believe Jesus Christ was reincarned as Ras Tafari, son of the Queen of Sheeba and the King of Soloman, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, His Imperial Majesty, was crowned Haile Selassie I. I am a follower of the head creator.
