Sorry guys - saying that belief in God requires a leap of faith - what you're
saying in essence - is exactly what Kant said.
God is, however, not removed from reality. Belief in God can indeed be arrived
at through rational considerations - hence the whole area of apologetics.
That's not to remove the aspect of faith in any way however from the the
recipie for "salvation".
Deomons believe in God - they just don't accept Him as Lord.
It's not a matter of faith for them - and it doesn't have to be for us either.
