Evidence God Exists

[Regens Küchl]

Do you even listen? I've said that when I've prayed as a test my prayers weren't answered, but that when I've prayed with faith they have been answered. How do you explain that?

Have you ever heard of the self-fufilling prophecy? The placebo effect?
You pray and hope that it is answered and you interpret events in a manner befitting the manner to which you think the supernatural entities you believe to exist work.
You pray as a test to see if the prayer is answered and you don't find an arbitrary sign, you assume it was a failure.

Wrong! When I prayed to test whether there was a God or not I was an atheist. And like you, I felt there was no one listening because usually nothing happened.

It was only after I became a Christian and prayed with faith that the percentage of my prayers being answered rose significantly. God doesn't grant every request, but there was a definite, tangible change once I had faith.

That description proves that it really works the way TheDarkestOfAngels explained it to you.
Being a christian you had no choice but to be open to self-suggestion that your prayer had somehow worked, or else you would have been unfaithful. You tricked yourself with your own circular reasoning.

If an absolute unbeliever prays for replacement of a lost limb and bang his limb grows back instantly - now that would be something you could offer as evidence

[...I'm terribly sorry,but your personal anecdotes are not evidence except to you...

To a degree you're right. Faith is very personal. But if you don't at least try it you're missing out.

The greatest problem in trying faith is that it is garbage, because faith in what ?????

For there are neverending possibilities and to be fair one had to spend wasting his entyre life trying one faith after another :
Faith in Vampyres, Werewolves, dwarfs, leprechauns, your small laughable hateful yewish wargod, Allah, Jehovah (god of his child-molesting witnesses), Mickey Mouse, Pink Unicorn, Russels Teapot . . .
