You have no evidence, but rather than face and own that fact with integrity you fantasize about others. You know, this isn't a problem that every christian has.......
Quote:But there are a number of reasons and points of history, that are evidence for God (and many believe or come to belief because of that).No, there aren't. Suppose for a moment that there were a god..and it didn't feel like leaving you little clues - it's not like it owes you anything. Maybe it wanted you to have faith, or some such shit. It would only be your own pigheaded and misplaced sense of pride that kept you arguing for nonsense. That's all it is, now, too.
My sentiments to a T. Rather than argue for the superiority of your epistemic position, the essence of faith would be to admit its frailty and persist nonetheless. If you have so little faith anyhow, why is it important to convince us? Convince yourself.
