I already have, twice. I have faith because I have good reason for
it. In other words, take something tangible like the resurrection of
the Christ or the historicity of Scripture. I have good reason to
believe in Christianity because I have good reasons to believe in
those things.
I'm starting to think your standards are either impossibly high (you
said in 25 years you've never gotten an intelligible answer) or I
don't understand what you're looking for. By intelligible you mean
understandable, right?
