My favorite T.A.N right now is actually this....

Ight.

Let's go with the basics.

Disclaimer I don’t have forever lol but I’ll try to explain some

What reasons drove you to believe that the Abrahamic God exists?

Well I looked around me. I slowly come to the conclusion that some higher power has to be behind all that exists. So then after I read many religious texts I found that the Abrahamic God seemed most believable.

That’s the simple way of putting it

Ok, you see, a God is plausible.
Principle of causality and all.
I could consider myself "at best a theist".

That’s a start for sure. Many folks start there

It's just that I was never taught about religion, and I never had a moment that "showed me the truth".

And the abrahamic God has contradictions in its portrayals.

Well let me see if I can help you with those so called contradictions. Maybe then you’ll see it a bit more clearly

So anything religious I never found a reason to believe in.

Ok, I'll try.

I get the contradictions that people speak about but they are very easily explained away

Omnipotence is logically contradictory. The rock paradox explains it well.
"Can an omnipotent being create a rock so large not even they can lift?"
"If they do, they can't lift it, so they are not omipotent..."
"But if they don't, they can't create such a rock, so they are not omnipotent".

So God can be powerful, but not all-powerful.

Like the Bible says.

Well if God is the creator of everything, I don’t find it so strange to see him as having the ability to be entirely powerful without limits

If he was here before everything. If he is behind it all

I can accept it could be beyond the principle of causality, but the principle of logic too?

Personally I think it makes the most sense. Why wouldn’t God be all powerful. If he created everything, how could he have limits

There are things that even beyond what is universal can't exist.

Like a square circle.

As the Bible puts it, God it beyond all those things

Well, you are also assuming that just because a God can create everything here, why couldn't they have limits?

We just can't know.

Anything non existent beyond universal is just speculation.

No we certainly can’t no. But it seems simply strange that God himself would have limits

And as a Christian, the Bible is clear that God is all powerful. It’s more biblically aligned. So not only does my sense say he must be but the Bible happens to agree and make it clear with everything else

Welp, so, back to before. You came to the conclusion that the Christian God was the most plausible adaptation of God.

Yes

And then of course believing in it I felt drawn in a way but none of that is what you want to hear lol 

Were you brought up as one?

Yes but I went to a very sack-religious school all my life and constantly questioned what it is that I was brought up with. Then. I finally come to these conclusions, and fully accepted it all. And if you’re curious, there’s tons of people who weren’t brought up that way who have become believers
