Quote:I want to know from Christians how they can know for certain that they are not simply inventing a god in their imaginations. However, when I ask Christians this question, I get an answer that starts with "Because God..."See above. If God is real then wouldn't the best evidence of God, be God? So why wouldn't "Because God..." be a viable answer?

Quote:This still assumes a god.Would wanting proof of the president of the united states, be assuming proof of the president of the US, if you wrote a letter addressed to him, asking for a response?
What if he invited you to do so?
Quote: It's as if they cannot see that they are using their imaginations. If I said that I believe in Qhiapwe, Christians would tell me that Qhiapwe is not real. Then I'd say "Qhiapwe is the creator of everything, and Qhiapwe lives in my heart." Now I just made up that name, but you get my point.Then one would ask for proof, or a way to prove qhiapwe. does your god have the means to 'proove' himself?
Quote:To believers: Can you consider the possibility that your beliefs are the result of you using a creative imagination?Indeed I can, and have. How did I resolve it? I took up God's challenge outlined in Luke 11, and He provided the 'proof' I was looking for.
