Actually, I know the sincerity of my husband's feelings because he has proved them repeatedly. Could he be lying? Of course, he could be a sociopath who for twenty six years has been stringing me along but the evidence that I have currently points to the fact that he loves me

One of the reason that friends have given for remaining in an abusive marriage is that their spouse loves them. They are going by their feelings that they imagine that their spouse has for them and not looking at the physical evidence.
By the way, if we get to be gods just because we say so...I am a pretty laid back goddess who just wants Reese Peanut Butter Cups. That's it

Precisely what? Are you agreeing to send me Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and worship me as the goddess that I am?

People's actions are usually proof enough - a statement I can't make about god - especially the personal god(s) of the vast majority of religions.
Also, professor, the statement I made about you wasn't supposed to be a compliment.

Requiring some proof before belief does not require being devoid of faith in others, emotion, or love for that matter. I do have faith in others' love for me. But that faith is based on experience, and past a certain point, I would cease to believe in a particular person's love, were it contradicted with any regularity. And I wouldn't say someone who had faith in the love of an abusive partner had strength of mind, quite the contrary.

But, and it is a major but, I've never had to have faith in the existence of people who love me. I have plenty of evidence of their physical existence. I don't have faith in an imaginary friend's love.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
