If not, how can a truth seeker ever find encouragement or direction in life?

Are you saying that the Bible (as if The Bible existed) is authoritative and truly inspired because you need it to be authoritative and truly inspired?

Yes. I realize how this sounds. I believe that many Christians need to have some sort of verification that God actually exists. We can believe it until the cows come home, but we seek to verify and legitimize it because, without authenticity, the tenets of the religion and the reasons for the belief fall apart. My belief system is about more than just running around being an honorable adult boy scout!
