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

I wasn't offended, I just get snappy when double standards come out.
I perfectly understand and accept your dismissal of my position. I just don't like the "you choose god/I just am atheist" dichotomy. We are on different ends of the spectrum.
I would urge you to consider the difference between faith or belief and religion. I can understand your thought that religion is nonsensical, but not necessarily faith. I mean, I have some grievances with religions myself, but that is beside the point. It is a category I am not in, as I don't prescribe to any religion. I might be Daoist, but I am white and sometimes eat meat...
And while religion is about lack of knowledge, or lack of making sense, I don't think belief in god has to be. I believe in god in an attempt to make sense of this crazy existence, however it works out.
Thanks.
