Standards of Logic

Ok... But I don't think this goes as easily as that. If you claimed that humans always need a certain amount of faith to live their lives, I would agree with you and I think it would be a really great argument against skeptics. But if you're claiming, that believing in God gives you the certainty upon the reality you live in and the power to understand everything, I have to disagree. The fact that God created man in his/her image, doesn't give us any certainties. It's like a self-portrait. Even if the painter was perfect, he just painted himself... with ink and brushes in a paper screen. You said it yourself: "If humans are not designed, we may not be like machines and may not be consistent. We know that people exist that have mental disabilities. We know that they are disabled because they are lacking features that we have. But how do we know we aren't disables in some sense, lacking something we don't understand?" What were you insinuating by the way? That people with mental disabilities are not humans, as they weren't created in the image of god? ;) And of course we aren't perfect and we don't understand something? more like lots of stuff!! We're humans, we're not suppose to be perfect. We don't understand God itself! And as a christian believer, I'm pretty sure you don't understand lots of things related to God. Why does God send people to hell? Is it for punishing them? But if he's a loving God and he does it for love and righteousness, shouldn't people be able to redeem themselves and move to heaven? Otherwise what's the point of punishing them? Why does a loving God allows their sons to kill, torture and enslave one another? Just for the sake of their freedom? But by allowing this, isn't he being condescending with the imprisonment of those that are enslaved? And wouldn't all of those people be rather happier with a divine intervention? And doesn't this inertia goes completely against the meaning of love and the teachings on the bible itself? That you should always seek to love and help those in need? Why may God's love be different? Why are babies born with deficiencies? And if we were suppose to be so perfect, why are we so flawed? I think you don't believe it's thanks to Adam and Eve... All this to say, that I don't believe that believing in God is suppose to make you complete understand your reality not even being sure about it, but rather give you the answer to believe in it. All you wrote before, that: "We are furtherly developed animals. We do know that memories are faulty. We do know that people use incorrect reasoning to come to incorrect conclusions. We can't know that we don't all do that. We can know that we exist, but everything that exists outside of us could be different from the way that we perceive reality. I can't prove you absolutely exist anymore than you can prove I exist. So, an atheist must say, "I am certain that I exist. I can't absolutely trust my memories, and I can't absolutely trust that my mind perceives the correct reality." Is very well questioned and stated. And as a skeptical you have to believe in this reality, so you can live your life, even though you don't admit the jump of faith.. Being a theist you just believe in it. You're not sure of what exactly it is, but it's the reality God presented you with. Who cares if it's true or not? It's just a pretty awesome gift! (with some exceptions...) But it's always a belief... and you can't use it as an argument, because it's kinda fallacious. Petitio principii? I really enjoy your debates and hope for a reply.
