Quote: r3x29yz4a said: there is no historical basis to believe in god, only a basis that god was believed in.
There's both logical prevalency as well as miraculous credibility attributed to the historical exploits of a God that conversed with His creations. The documentation of a God interacting with humans is empirically supported by history. If the scripture only noted a God that spoke with the people and did things in His name, you'd be correct, but there was action on his part.
