It is reason that creates motives for believing. Faith is to the religion very much like credit is to business. Just as one must have a reason for giving credit, so, too, one must have a reason for believing. The conclusions of reason for accepting the testimony of anyone – for example, the testimony of Christ – are not mathematically certain. They are only morally certain. They are very much like the certitude that you have that you were born of your own parents.
