>Funny but in Buddhism these are actually explained.
You didn't explain anything though. You jeered like a seven year old then snorted that Christians should become Buddhists. I seriously doubt you even are a Buddhist.

From this thread it's clear there's only one religion for rational people. It's the one for which actual arguments were made.

>As a result of this we cannot assert with absolute confidence anything beyond the existence of ourselves
Quite contrarily, we can use logic and reason to come to truths about the world, and things around us. It is this truth, based upon empirical studies and the scientific method, that led to the creation of the modern world, with all of its technological luxuries. Of course, we frequently forget that the entire scientific revolution as we know it was spearheaded by devoutly religious Catholic friars, like Roger Bacon and Albertus Magnus. It is very interesting that we type on our electronic devices about how humans cannot use logic and reason to know anything about the universe around us, while it was the exact opposite philosophy which led to the electronic devices we are typing on.

"“The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.” - Nikola Tesla

What exactly is it you're struggling with? Is it the miracles? Those aren't even important (except only one miracle, the resurrection of Christ). Christ's words are what's important, and those are above and beyond /lit/ standards even if all the miracles were bogus. Meditate upon Christ's sayings and wait patiently for God to open your eyes so that you can accept the miraculous stuff (for there is no other way to accept that stuff but through God's guidance)

is true. You might make friends at church but don't treat that as its primary purpose. Its primary purpose is spiritual

I understand what you mean. If you go through the motions, faith will eventually come. It's how the human mind and soul work. Repetition leads to habit leads to belief

There's a big difference between "Cthulhu's telekinetic powers" and the fundamental canon on which all Western civilization has been built for the last 2000 years. Oh, but I forgot, for the last 2000 years everyone was an idiot up until you showed up to set us all straight :-)
