So, to summise...
1. Is God real If I have faith that he exists
2. What's the non empirical evidence, and how is it evidence
1. Yeah, I believe on faith, in something unprovable. That unprovable thing would in theory, exist. Yes.
2. The Bible is full of non empirical evidence. Would you consider that evidence, and if not, why not.
Like I've said before, there can be no provable (empirical) evidence. If there were then faith wouldn't be needed... we'd know. I think you EvF are still wanting provable evidence. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Your standpoint: "I don't believe because I know of no evidence" doesn't then give you any right to comment on religion other than to say "I don't believe". You go on to say far more than that though, which is planting your flag, stating a case for which you have no reasoning.
I may have missed something, but can I ask, what 'evidence' or 'sense' do you use when you believe in god? Is it completely faith, or the end-product of at least some form of reasoning?
