    Everyone on earth that has adopted or converted to any religion has done so with a feeling as their reason.

    Assertion

    Nobody has ever converted due to cold hard facts or some research on the afterlife.

    Applying material requirements to the metaphysical and transcendental

    Proof is unexisting by definition of faith

    Transcendental Argument for God makes an affirmative pre-suppositional argument for God.

      I… Yes? That’s a correct interpretation, but you denied an answer to me. Or perhaps I misunderstood your position, that nobody should ever convert or consider any religion?

        I’m saying that your assertion isn’t justified (e.g. it’s just a subjective opinion). That you can’t expect to apply the scientific method to something that transcends the material world and that there are indeed logical arguments for why someone should believe in God as opposed to not believing in God.

        I’m an Orthodox Christian.

          I don’t think you’re correct with your argument. Why would someone choose any particular religion? That’s the argument. There is no logical argument for that. There are arguments for choose one in general, although logically very flawed. Still, there’s no logical argument I’m aware of to choose a specific one.

            There is argumentation beyond the transcendental argument to believe, for example, the Christian God. It has to do with prophesy, metaphysics, theology etc
