Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?

[Tonus]

When you say that you were a theist for such a long time and you never felt the presence of God this remind me of Sarkar words.
Religious people as well pray all the time in the hope that God can sort out their own physical-material problems but God is not really interested in this sort of desires.

See, this is what I referred to in my previous post. I say that I searched for god and did not find him, and you assume that I searched in hopes of physical or material gain. When I explain that this was not the focus of my search, you will find another reason for why god did not appear. No matter how I explain it, there will be something to excuse god for not being there.

I am at peace with this. For one, I am not unsatisfied with the results of my search; it led me where it led me and I am able to make the best of it. Also, I understand that this is how our minds work. Our personal views and experiences require far more evidence and reason to overthrow than to retain. Some people simply take it very far because overthrowing a theistic/spiritual belief system can have have significant ramifications.
