Excuse your God

[WinterHold]

Are you saying that to know it's true you first have to believe it's true?

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.

Thank you for trying to understand.

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.

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.

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

The Quran says the exact opposite:

Sura 90, The Quran:
( 11 )   But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
( 12 )   And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
( 13 )   It is the freeing of a slave
( 14 )   Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
( 15 )   An orphan of near relationship
( 16 )   Or a needy person in misery
( 17 )   And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

First; you break through the "difficult pass". Then; belief doesn't seem like a bad idea at all.

But no wonder that you believe in backwards. You're a Shiite after all.
People who do good deeds, are better than wretched- self righteous believers who hang gays from cranes.
