I say this as a religious person myself: if your reasons are pseudish don't waste your time. Find the right reasons and you'll probably already know the answer.

Cooba?

Also if you 'want to believe' then you already do. It's kind of perfect like that since it's self-evidently not based on human ability or strength that way and doesn't give the false impression of self-sufficiency

Start with the Greeks. They will make that question laughable.

>Lunatic, Liar, or Lord? :^)

It amazes me that christcucks take Mere Christianity seriously and put it forth as a profound apology.

Study Physics
Read Aristotle, Aurelius, Epictetus, Descartes

Realize it is impossible to be both rational and imagine a God that is caring, but that a God necessarily exists. Read shit like Aquinas, Leibniz, and the Bible if you want delusion

>>9375957
Read yourself.

If God exists he will convince you.

Tbqh you need to stop reading about God full stop, let the emptyness fill in and come what may.

Nigger Descartes thought God was good.

Left me disappointed to be honest. The argument against atheism is "you might be wrong". Well, duh. Then it's a rundown of theology 101.

then get into more mathematics

not trolling

I've lost all faith in Christianity. Oddly enough, I believe in God still, but as something impartial to my existence. What should I read?

Augustine is Manichaean trash. Don't bother with it.

>>9378576
You should pray for faith.

What would be the point of this if I believe that they would go unheard?

>>9378621
God will hear your prayer whether or not you believe that He will.

The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology is great. William Lane Craig is one of my favorite apologists.

>>9378587
Bullshit he is. He talks about how sick and twisted their religion is in Confessions. That's why you read it first, you retard. He became a Christian in his 30s. He gave up on Manichaeism and astrology after meeting Faustus in his 20s.

Nothing, the way to faith requires faith in itself and reading scripture and attending services can't make you leap to faith.

>>9375977
Reading is shown to help with cognitive abilities such as comprehension and focus.

You have to feel God my good man.

i saw the audiobook of that on a torrent tracker recently, those blackwell companion things are pretty dank but i figured it would be a bunch of "why did god allow the holocaust to happen" bullshit, is it actually not awful? should i cop it?

No. I was very impressed; a good amount of it went over my head. I'm no lightweight either.
