"Just cuz" isn't taken for an answer very well because they feel they've been there before. If it's not the apostate, it's generally atheists or agnostics or the areligious who also don't accept: "I believe just because I believe" for an answer because critical thinking and rational processes are the cornerstones of modern learning.
People aren't saying that the religious don't have a right to their faith. Many people just want to know why people continue to believe in certain things which they find inconceivable or absurd.
Anyway, I'm also interested in what this proof of the validation of the bible is. You don't need to recall exactly what it was, just the general idea.

If others find it inconceivable or absurd that is something that others have to deal with. I am secure in my faith and belief.
I did a little searching on the internet and found basically some of the information I'd heard before.
Link to some information regarding authenticity of the bible. And before you ask have a read through everything in the website no, because my time is limited but after finding the website plan on reading through it when I have a chance.
