Here's the situation. We have a being who is supernatural. He/She/It can exist without the need to obey any natural laws and therefore, cannot be understood or explained by natural or scientific means.
I always reply that I believe because God has directly impressed me with the awareness of his existence. I list supporting factors as the witness of other believers, evidence of ghosts and other supernatural phenomena, etc. A very conservative estimate of the number of people in the world today who believe in God, in this scientific age, is five billion. These people are from every profession and walk of life.
If God directly illuminates me through supernatural means which cannot be tested by any natural means, how can I give you any other solid evidence other than to relate my experience? You might say I'm suffering from a delusion, but I have no other history of delusions and billions of others who have no history of delusions also believe in God. Billions of these people are moderately or well-educated and realize that the earth revolves around the sun, as you do.
Why don't you accept this as evidence for God?
Because the voices in your head are nothing more than evidence that you are, at best, delusional or, far more likely, psychotic.
Your evidence in detail 1) "god directly impressed me" is nothing more than you talking to yourself, 2) "witness of other believers" is not evidence it is claims, 3) ghosts and supernatural beings don't exist, 4) supernatural phenomena don't exist. So in your egerness to make us believe you've just shovelled, against our wills, a steaming rancid pile of bullshit into our collective mouth and tried to tell us it was caviar.
Go fuck yourself.
