I'm curious, though. Have you sought answers to those questions since becoming an adult? With an open mind? Or do you spend the majority of your free time posting here and reading authors who continue to confirm what you have already decided to be true?

I can't remember ever believing in god, let alone as an adult. But let's not make this thread about me, it's about the evidence, or as it turns out the lack there of.  

That's fair. I know what it's like to have a thread turn personal. And I don't like it, either.

Empirical, logical and convincing.  Convinced anyone yet?  Because I don't think it can be done rationally.

Well, in that case, there are many proofs of God that people find convincing. Here's a two-part article on an argument from Thomas Aquinas that you might like:

Why Aquinas’ Argument for God Succeeds and Others Fall Short

I plan on reading this tonight, so perhaps we can discuss it after we've both had a chance to digest it.
