For Christians this should be very easy, they seem to forget how they came to believe in the first place, for them proof of Gods existance should, at least initially, come from the Bible. Now obviously it's arguable as to whether or not the Bible is fictional, however that does not illegitimize the anwer. For them (myself included) that is proof.
what you are saying is applicable to all things we believe in, including everything our senses feed us, should we start thinking why we believe in our senses as well?

that's what i asked smarty pants baftan, everyone here believes he exists, but if he doesn't prove it(either he can't or doesn't want to or he does so and we don't acknowledge it); does that mean he doesn't exist?
why aren't we asking for proof of username baftan's existence instead of god's existence?
why is annoying username baftan accepted as existent with no question asked, but god isn't the same candy dandy case?
isn't there any psychotic nerd with too many question marks to find real questions for to come and question his existence? why isn't anyone here harassing him for proof of his existent? where did all the skepticism go?
well duh scifes, because we're all using usernames, and we're all real, so he's bound to be one too.
well we all show our innovation and creativity through our creations, so god is bound to do so too..
any retorts? :bugeye: cuz i'm ready to:shake:
If you are looking for hard, physical, tangible evidence to witness for yourself like the events that took place in the Bible you can forget about it. God craves our faith in his existence, he does not reveal himself to us, he wants us to make a choice, and according to him we are all capable of attaining this faith without further proof. It's quite unfortunate and inexplicable but some of us will make this choice, some of us will not. Those who do, come to know of him beyond doubt. These people unfortunately tend to stop asking questions once they arrive at this point. I don't.
time doesn't erase the once provided tangible proof. weaken it maybe, but to arrive at god's intentions towards the whole of humanity based solely on one's lifetime experience is flawed.
trying to fathom god's intentions altogether is downright stupid.
this is all under the assumption no tangible proof is anymore provided, which isn't the case.
