Reason leads to God

I expend much breath attempting to get my students to cut through the post-enlightenment nonsense on which much their public school "education" is founded upon. One of the main points here is that belief in God and faith in general is not contrary to reason. Rather, reason has limits and something can be beyond reason while at the same time not opposing it. In fact, atheism--the de facto state religion of the USA--is considerably less reasonable than theism is. Atheism is in fact contrary to good reason.

Honest seekers are usually few and far between. Most atheist do not choose their religion for intellectual reasons, but for emotional or practical ones. However, there are individuals out there who are honestly seeking the truth. One, who used to be known as the "Raving Atheist" (a somebody in the blogging world--if that means anything..) recently found some truth. He now calls himself "The Raving Theist."

He has yet to go into detail about his conversion, but check out his blog. Not the almost 500 comments on his post.
