Are religions circular logic?

I mean when you think about it, ut comes down to this: you know because a book told you so. This isn't directed at any religions but I just wanted to know if it comes down to circular logic

    My answer is with respect to the Bible. Your question is valid: if the Bible is just a bunch of written words (and presumably anyone could just write anything), then why should any of it be trusted?

    A few points:

    1. The Bible is not one document written by a single author. Rather it is a collection of dozens of different documents written by different people. It was only compiled into a single book later on. Therefore it is actually contains multiple eyewitness accounts of different people who are generally all telling us the same thing.

    2. In the year 2012, we only have the written documents to work with, but in the first century, there were lots of witnesses around. For example, 1 Corinthians 15:6 tells us that over 500 people saw Jesus after his resurrection. If people at the time knew the message to be nonsense, then the Bible letters and message never would have spread anywhere.

    3. Jesus' original disciples and followers were so absolutely convinced of what they saw and heard that they were willing to die for the cause. It would be strange for people to be willing to die for a cause that they personally knew to be false. Most historians are therefore convinced that the disciples believed Jesus to be the son of God.

  • Everything that isn't an infinite regress is circular logic, so yes, and so is all non-religious beliefs.

    in case you recognize better then possibly it would be suited to purely forget approximately approximately it and circulate on in existence. And purely because of the fact the christians call pagan something that doesn't consume drink or sleep like them nicely, I definetly fall into that agrupation. And around solutions can come from non christian besides as christian. And to enable myself get pissed off over this is to enable it carry me back and not see the sunshine interior me.

    Logic can't go in a circle.

    They actually have a song about it!

    "Jesus loves me, yes I know-because the bible tells me so!"
