This is a good question. A real key one. One that not enough Theists ask themselves. I can assure you I have thought and reflected on this issue. I also believe I have clear proofs regarding my creed. 

The problem is over here if I begin to prove why my specific creed is best, people will just say, you haven't proven God yet. I can answer this question, but the thread cannot be all be replied to by "prove God or we don't care what you can prove with assuming God exists as a given premise".

Then you need better evidence. Evidence that better stands up to basic scrutiny and matches reality.

That's not a claim; that's basic burden of proof.

I don't know "he" exists. Neither do you. How can I say that? Because you would be able to demonstrate that knowledge without resorting to logical and linguistic acrobatics and red herring tantrums.

Not my problem.

Incidentally, what's with all the weird font size tags polluting my words? I had to edit all that shit out.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
