Logic tells me God doesn't exist but my heart says otherwise.

RE: Logic tells me God doesn't exist but my heart says otherwise.
It's a quandary. Our heart or intuition helps guide us in some circumstances but it doesn't tell us the reasons why. There are certainly times it makes more sense to follow your intuition. The problem is knowing when. It's like you're at the beginning of your college career, and you have to decide on a major to pursue. Your head tells you that you should go into business, but your intuition tells you that psychology would be better for you. How do you choose between these two? If you could figure out why your intuition is telling you thus and compare that with why your head is telling you so, you could reason out the best answer. But in this and many cases that may not be possible. You may have tried to figure it out and failed, or maybe it's just not possible. So what do you do? I think in this situation (or that), you simply have to make a choice as to which voice you are going to trust and commit to that. Take a leap, either into intuition, or into reason. But I don't think there is anyway around that. You have insufficient information to make a fully rational decision, so you must rely upon your intuition to guide you to one or the other commitment, the path dictated by heart, or the path dictated by reason. There may be time to change later, but for now, I don't think there is a pat answer beyond that you must simply choose, and to hell with the consequences.
