To be fair, it's not exactly circular logic as he says he feels that he has seen god work in his life. That's what he takes as proof that he has been doing the right thing by believing in the bible that is the basis of his faith.
What I always wondered as a kid sitting in church was how that was any different from a hockey player who believes he's scoring goals because he touches the goalposts 3 times, doesn't step on cracks, and eats the same meal before every game. Goals are the proof that he's doing the right thing. Don't we call that superstition?
