So if I believe in a magic teapot, a teapot which makes people happy, and I am happy, is that evidence for the tea pot that I believe in?

Sadly, there is no evidence, still. And like I said, worship is ridiculous to me. Why should I worship anything? I find it an obscene concept.

The fact that some Christians are happy really doesn't change things. But I'm very glad for you that your religion makes you happy Smile


You mentioned that you are suffering from an illness. Sorry to hear that. This is hypothetical, but it demonstrates the point that we look to other peoples' experiences to apply to our own lives. Say you read of someone who had the same illness, became a christian, and was immediately healed. Would you not be interested because you don't have any proof of God? What if you came to the conclusion that there was a God because of this? Would you refuse to follow God and be healed because you don't like him?
