The beauty
Does not your inability to percieve something render that something moot? Rather, you're trying to argue "since I can't percieve this, it must mean this." You are doing exactly what i said you are doing and you claimed you aren't. You're playing with the definition to justify your nonsense.

Bottom line:
Belief rests on the shoulders of faith, and faith is the substance of things not seen, and evidence of things hoped for.
I hope there is a God. I hope that as my Son becomes a man, he is aware that there is a love bigger than mine, because I have and will fail him and his mother in small ways. I hope that he can see the beauty in a Universe created for him to explore and enjoy his entire life, as I have and will continue to do. And in the intangibility of God, he has given me a life of choice, to do as I see fit, to believe or disbelieve. This is God's completely unconditional love, God's complete surrender to my will, not the inverse.
To say God is intangible and unseen is to say the entire Universe is intangible and without beauty.
Whether there is any logic in what I have just stated is irrelevant.
It is as real to me as my own existence. The fact that you do not live in a Universe like mine saddens me. And if you do see the beauty of this world and all that is in it and all that it will hopefully become, then none of God's work has been in vain, and I am grateful that you see it.
