To be honest, most discussions of epistemology just hurt my head. Being an American I've probably imbibed more Scottish Realism than anything else ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_common_sense_realism ), but I haven't examined my own beliefs too deeply. As you say, it's impossible to live in the world if we are always having to justify every one of our beliefs. But, maybe there is a trust angle? As a Christian, I have to trust that God is able to communicate with me in a way I can understand, otherwise the whole Christian religion is an absurd lie.
