I think it is rational to believe that God exists. I and other philosophers believe that atheism is fundamentally non-rational.
I will be giving a seminar, this Sunday evening, on “Why It Is Rational To Believe There Is A God.” I love talking about this subject, and began studying it 36 years ago when I converted from being a quasi-deist to a theist. My Ph.D studies at Northwestern University were in this area, and I teach Logic and Philosophy of Religion at MCCC (this is, I think, my 7th or 8th year of teaching there. I’ll teach these two courses in the coming fall semester).
Details of my seminar:
Sunday, August 5, 7-8:30 PM
Redeemer Fellowship Church, 5305 Evergreen, Monroe
242-5277
It will be a lecture/dialogue format with room for questions.

Hi John. Just went to your first class and found it quite interesting. I came to 2 conclusions: 1. I need to get out more. Being in mainly Christian circles too much makes it too easy to forget how others often think about the God I dearly love. And, 2. I love logic, but feel the same way about it as I feel about music – I love and appreciate good music but wouldn’t try to sing solo or write any! But I’m looking forward to the rest of the classes.

Hi Sande – thanks for coming out last night. I didn’t know how many would be interested, and was very pleased to see the number of people who came.
Blessings!
