RE: Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?

I don't have feelings Rhizo, just speaking my mind about illogical argument.
Of course you can choose not to see god.
Well it is either we can choose to see or not see god, or that we cannot. But either way, your disbelief and my belief are the same thing. That is the important point, the one of us is not convoluted and the other enlightened, but that we both have an opinion, an idea about something.
I had a similar trek as yourself. I was raised kind of christian and kind of Druidic... Then I realized that the Christian POV i was shown (but not the totality of the system) was flawed and I couldn't hold it up to my hyper-skeptical mind. So I became an Atheist for a few years, may be 6 or 8. Then I did some more learning about the systems and the world and nature and the human experience, and concluded that either there is a god that must or does remain a mystery, or not. Either way I choose to believe inasmuch as it is pragmatic. Belief gives me something to say 'thank you' to, and humility is paramount in my life. It gives me an ideal to conceive of. God only got smaller as I learned when I was imagining the wrong god, but the one I picture now only gets bigger with every new discovery.
And of course you can quote me Tack, you can even say you made it up if you want.
Thanks.
