Why do you believe in a God?

[GrandizerII]

I was raised as a christian and that's why I believed in God into early adulthood. Then I went through a time when I believed in God, but lived a lifestyle against christianity except that I still went to church on Sunday, even with some bad hangovers. There's no scientific "proof" for the existence of God. Of course, there will never will be because science automatically rejects the explanations present because of science's limitations. The real reason I believe in God is the reason you don't want me to use but, sorry, that's the reason. And you're reason for not accepting it is invalid. If I tell you I experience God and you choose not to believe me that's okay, but it doesn't invalidate my experience. It just means that you don't believe me. I can't stop believing in God because he has revealed himself to me.

What is this experience with God like?

What does he look like? Sound like? Feel like? If your answer is that you don't know, then how do you know you experience God? How do you know it's not simply a psychological feeling?

How would you know?

I would ask you the same question. Are you sure you're not just imagining all this? Just calling theists deluded doesn't get you anywhere. I'd be more considerate of the testimonies of rational people instead of just calling people derogatory names.

If we go by testable evidence (which should be the most reasonable approach to take), then it's extremely likely that belief in God is a delusion.
