I don’t have one. Sorry to disappoint you. I’m asking if anyone can provide one. I’m very curious about this. Can anyone give me one reason to believe there is a god? I’m not asking anyone to say something that could actually cause me to believe. Nothing like that. It’s just that I have never, ever been given a reason to believe that god might actually exist that doesn’t presuppose the existence of god.
For example, the threat of eternal damnation and the promise of eternal paradise would be a great reason to believe, but only if god, does indeed, exist. Otherwise, they don’t matter. What I’d like to be able to do is say, “Sure, I can accept that as a reason to believe in god”, even if that reason isn’t enough to believe on its own.
Can anyone offer me a reason to believe that doesn’t require faith?
