I suspect eternal life, or comfort, or for answers, or because we were told to. If you say it's because it's the right thing to do, then you are yearning to be righteous, which is self-interest, is it not?
Question 2: Can you provide an example of a truly virtuous act, please?
Faith should not be a matter of choice. For starters, we do not exercise control over what we believe. We can reason and conclude that a certain belief is most coherent; we cannot, however, choose a belief as a matter of what we want or desire. Secondly, from the Christian perspective, faith is a gift of God - it is one of the virtues of grace.

Martyrdom.

As for the insults and bully-tactics you, Scotti, and Twit employ, this will be my last corresponce with you three.
I called you out on something on one instance (a logical contradiction in your arguement) but I wasn't unnecessarily rude about it.
You don't want to talk to me, so be it - I can still demolish your fallacious arguments whether you choose to respond or not.
Originally posted by scottishinnzYou might want to check this very thread to find an example of your bullying, insulting tactics towards me. But that's okay. I've decided that's the only way people like you, son, and twit can feel any sense of self-worth. I will not let you have any further effect on my blood pressure😛.

Hey, when it's me, I try not to post statements which i feel are not logically defendable. But that's just me....
Originally posted by scottishinnzYou needn't explain "hust" what you are--I'm quite aware. You won't be doing any demolishing of me, nor calling my belief in Christ "tosh", nor will you be bullying me any longer.

Originally posted by scottishinnzAnd if you "checked 10 pages of your posts", then you must not be able to read--I only had to look under one rock to find an example of the bile you spew. But that's jyst me...
