Excuse your God

No, the opposite, I am saying first you know, and then you have faith, which is nothing but confidences in one's knowledge of clear proofs once they are understood through reflection.

That does not make sense, at least to me, how do you first 'know'? are you talking about educating yourself in a particular religion or belief which then may lead to accepting it as true, for you what kind of evidence would you have to have to accept any such teaching as true ?

I am saying who you end up following if God exists and made a guidance come from him, are the same humans you have to look for proofs of the religion, and their authority, and God's authority and to know who God is and his manifest proofs.

I think I know what you are saying here, can you show me some example of proofs ones that can only be attributed to a god ?

And if you don't go to them when you are lost and confused, but just wait for a Theists to come save you from ignorance or rely on other then God to know God, there is no excuse if you had access to their teachings.

I'm not looking for an excuse, I'm looking for a reason to believe, actually no that's not true I was Christian for many years winsome with my faith and knowledgable, but i found that knowledge balanced against reality did not actually stack up.

It is upon you to give religions their proper due and investigate the truth and strive to know God to your last breath.

I can't say I've given all religions a chance, but I have rejected the supernatural, which in turn rejects many religions (unless it's simply a term used for things we cannot explain) in which case saying 'I don't know' seems much better than trying to explain it in supernatural ways.
