Philosophy does not make you have blind, unquestioning faith. You choose to believe in the existence of a supreme being because you want to, not because there are no options

"An enquiring mind" substituting the word "philosophy" is not satisfactory.

Why is that? What do you understand by the word philosophy?

Philosophy cannot be defined.

Based on etymology it should be all about the love of wisdom. But then philosophy has made people do unspeakable things, share thoughts that should not be imposed on others, etc. It has not been about enquiring minds.

It should not even exist.

So according to you the OP is dead on arrival.

Philosophy /theology......To be a true child of God you would have to accept the word of God is supreme to all forms of arguments. If not there are some theological/philosophical arguments that can derail as a child of God if. Care is not taken
