Why is believing incredible, unsupported tales considered to be a virtue?
Quote:The Lord will provide evidence of his existence to you, if you are earnestly seeking him.
Yes, if I am already convinced that a deity exists, I can probably find his "presence" in coincidences, good fortune and mundane things.
Quote:He proved himself to me, even if I told you, no one respects my "delusional" opinion, so I'm sad to say, unless you actually take me seriously, then I'll tell you what happened.
And I'm betting your bar for "proof" is incredibly low. I'm guessing your deity didn't actually appear to you. I'm also guessing that if you told us how this deity "proved himself" we could point out how this "proof" falls miserably short of convincing evidence.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
