Does that mean your willingness to believe something is true largly depends on what others think to be true? What if the vast majority of society thought the Jews were sub human plague on society and had 'scientific proof' that they were genetic cast offs and were just a drain on resources? would you believe this without question?
As you can see from this thread, what I believe does not depend on what others believe. But yes, acting like you know the truth and standing by it no matter the evidence contradicting it because your reasoning is that "God is your proof" suggests circular thinking.
In other words, according to your argument, God is true because God is proof. Or God's Word is true because God is proof. Or what God says is true because God is proof. Hopefully, you see the flaw in such argument.
