It's as different as Winterfest is from the Spirit of Christmas.) To the cynical rationalist we only have to turn to old souls like Blaise Pascal - "The heart has its reasons that Reason cannot understand." Belief supersedes reason. Reason serves faith. Another wise person said: "I believe in order that I may understand." - Augustine I think that order is crucial. The greatest reply for the seeker to consider is, What is "the God who speaks" saying to me? If one is not even seeking to understand, then what more could we ever say endlessly into the wind? Even a witnessed miracle pr...
