Sorry, I didn't mean to express it in that way. What I meant was that anyone in your position would definitely feel the pressure (whether directly or indirectly from someone) to become a theist.
Quote: In fact I said that being a theist brings an overall positive effect to me.
I'm sure it does, which makes sense relative to your circumstances.
Quote: It means that I'm happy being a theist and that give me a reason to (stay to) be a theist.
I also have mentioned before that to change my position to atheist will most likely bring a negative effect to me under my circumstance. That's a reason *for me* not to change my position to atheist.
I get all of this, but this is by no means evidence/proof/reasoning for the existence of God. We're simply talking about your desire to be happy under the influence of religion.
I rest my case in saying that it's not logical for you to be stating that there's no proof that God doesn't exist. It seems so far that you haven't reasoned your way into being a theist, which means there's a void between rationality and your belief. I'd say you can figure out *on your own* why God doesn't exist by attempting to rationalise your belief and then realising it can't be done... unless you actually have something of substance to share.
