Evidence for Believing

[Abaddon_ire]

So, you admit that there is no way to distinguish between god talking to you and your brain talking to you. If that’s the case, then on what rational basis have you concluded that you’re pretty sure it was god, and not a delusion? If you, yourself, can’t rationally justify it, then you must understand why others don’t find your personal experience persuasive, yes?  Also, “daily reinforcement” of an unfalsifiable and unwarranted belief is not further evidence, it’s confirmation bias.

I know it's God as well as I can know anything,

You actually don't. The more we try to pin down exactly why you believe, the more vague and evasive you become.

but as with anything you or I believe, there is always a chance we can be wrong.

Sure. But you also believe you cannot possibly be wrong. I am sure you can see the problem with that.

 I don't make my decisions based on whether or not I am 100% sure that I'm correct.  In that case, I would never get anywhere.

Nobody does. But you sure give a good imitation that you indeed do so.

Yes, I can understand why others are not persuaded by experience.

Yet it is still your goto argument. So let us put it out there. Why exactly do you believe what you believe? Why are you avoiding telling anyone what convinces you?

That why I stated a few posts back that we shouldn't believe in God solely based on what I or others claim, but rather to look to God ourselves for revelation because that is the way that we come to know him.

And again you ignore that probably most atheists here did exactly that and found nothing but tumbleweeds. Likely, you will come back with some stupid variation of "never a true christian" or some such nonsense, but even you should realise how lame that is.

I keep a relationship with God on a daily basis and I remain a believer.  You can call it confirmation bias if you like.

I am pretty sure no god is talking to you, nor any of the other god botherers. Your bovine error is in your assumption that none of us has similarly sought. Only you. That is a false assumption.

 You can use whatever criteria that you think is best to determine if God exists, but my way is the way I believe he comes to us.

Why do you believe that? This is your fundamental problem. You rock up here with plenty of claims of what it is you believe, but you are cripplingly unable to provide a why, a reason. And if you are unable to provide a why, a reason then by definition, your position is unreasonable.
