Even though I do not have direct evidence does not mean that he does not exist though (not saying that this is the proof of course
).Why do you think faith is a good thing?
1.1 billion Hindus and 1.5 billion Muslims base their beliefs on faith, yet according to you, they believe in the 'wrong god'.
What would motivate you to believe something for which you have no evidence?
I'll make a wager that you don't do this with any other aspect of your life. You probably don't cross a street based on faith, you rely on evidence.
Quote:It's interesting. Even though I don't have direct evidence, I still rationally believe that God exists. It's really an absurdity if you think about it.
No, your belief is not rational. A rational belief is based on demonstrable evidence and valid logic.
Yes, it is an absurdity.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
