The reason why I questioned you earlier in the thread, is because, if you found a good reason to return to your theistic beliefs, I want to know about it. It wasn't to put you in a tough spot, it was to discover if your beliefs were rational and evidence based enough for me to also believe them.
As I previously stated, I am passionate about having as many true beliefs as possible, and as few false beliefs. If you have, what I would consider good reasons, as far as I can tell, you wouldn't need faith.
My main reason to continue to participate in these discussions, is to determine if there is some belief that I don't currently hold, that I should.
I just wish someone could tell me why a god would want people to believe on bad evidence, despite all the good evidence to the contrary.
Agreed. Why be coy about it? Just give it a shot, guys, and see how it goes. If you really did experience something conclusively supernatural/godly (as in beyond just mere fascinating coincidence), some of us would like to hear about it, even if we won't be convinced.
