Excuses for God

For many of the philosophers we've discussed, God intervenes.  Many philosophers seek to find the answers  to key questions concerning our human nature and also seek to find an answer to God's ways.  However, I do not think that I agree with this process.  To hold desperately to a religious ideology effects all logical reasoning of the nature of human nature.  Although these great thinkers may hold God dear to their  heart, How did they convince themselves that both could truly exist?
