Faith - not a leap.

The idea that Christian faith is a 'leap' is not Christian.

It's not even Biblical. Biblical faith is the assurance of things not seen (but reported by reliable witnesses, and understood by simple logic).

It comes from Soren Kierkegaard, regarded by many as a 'Christian' existentialist philosopher. As such, his theology is not up to much.

He had no secure ground for his faith (Christian faith being a response of confidence to evidence), so he had to 'leap'.

The only one who has to 'leap' for faith is the atheist, who is convinced there is no god (despite what they claim), or the Buddhist, the Hindu, Shinto, animist or astrologer.
