>Circular arguments are pointless.
I believe in the book because the book says I should believe in it is to me nothing more than a lazy person's way to abdicate the responsibility we all have to think rationally and critically. It's an argument that could be used to push for a belief in every silly diet and self help book ever written.<
Of course the one slightly important difference between diet, self help books, how you too can be rich books, etc., and the bible, koran, etc., is that I've yet to see someone kill in the name of their diet book. All in the name of how they or someone they are willing to be led by has interpreted the "book"
