John,
You say that you believe a god exists and you trust your god.
You sited an example about trusting a dentist I think.
Perhaps you trust a dentist to do a good job of removing a tooth or cleaning your teeth. You trust that this man will do his job well.
The reason you trust him could be from his credentials, testimony of other people he has worked on that you have spoken to or even read reviews of online.
You have a tooth ache and you really want to see this great dentist you heard about, you read about, etc.
You drive to the office and you want to see the dentist right away if possible. The people working there have no idea who you are talking about but they tell you that another dentist is available.
You are insistent upon seeing the dentist you TRUST.
The problem is that this dentist doesn't exist.
He's a fabrication made up by the dentist office to get people in the door.
You refuse to believe that this dentist you TRUST isn't real.
You just gotta have faith that this dentist you trust is real.
Do you see how this might be a problem ?
