You also admit that you cannot "prove" God to us, so it is strange that you say you "know" God exists. If you know God exists, you must have some proof of his existence. But like you said, you know even though you cannot explain how you know...so in reality, you *don't* know.
Your logic is impeccable.
No, I said that the reasons why I initially began to believe in God and Christianity involved leaps of faith. I pointed to the article for reasons why I still believe. Did you read it? I really do think our differences all come down to our presuppositions.
I do admit that I cannot prove God to you to your satisfaction, I don't think I ever said otherwise. Any proof that I have so as to convince me that I know God exists certainly would not be satisfactory to you because it is not anything testable in a scientific way. So while you say I don't know, I still say I do.
As for my logic, did I ever say my reasons fit some logical proposition? I'm sure you have heard all the best logical reasons for God because I have seen you mention TAG here. If that doesn't convince you, then I'm not sure anything will. Anyway, if you do ever decide to take that leap of faith, you will know what I mean.
