I have given my reasons. You just haven't taken the time to read them obviously.
I am not sure you are even reasonably enough to be trying to have this type of conversation. If you have never done any research or reading on this (youtube doesn't count) then please go try to get a grip on it before you post.
Your statements are a poor representation of what I believe. And its a very immature and undeveloped view of my faith in God. It just shows that you only THINK you know something about my beliefs and my experiences. But you are so far off that its rather sad.
tell me when I have said that it doesn't take faith. You assume that all faith/belief is the same. I am telling you that faith in God does not and should not be blind and for me it is not. If you want to know some of my reasons you need to read previous posts as I have stated them and I wont repeat because you are lazy. If you want to ask specifics about what I believe I will tell you what and why.
but simply put, without the existence of a transcendent mind there is nothing universal to creation. There is no law, there is no ground for morals, there is not a reason to believe in anything scientific, no reason to believe in logic, or rational, and there is no reason to question our universe because there would be no universal pattern to question. The very nature of our universal laws of physics tells us that they existed before the universe did. If something existed before existence then what would you call it? There had to be reasoning, law, and I believe it also included morality. I could elaborate much more on this, but you haven't taken the time to investigate anything I have said thus far so I am really considering it a waste of time. And as I said before, if you are only out to try to say that there is nothing to faith or that all faith is blind then you can go run with that thought because you've made your point, its wrong. Its understood, but its wrong.
Everyone has faith in something...period. Whether your faith (as demonstrated by your asking for proof) is in what you use your immediate senses to gain understanding of, or whether its through scholarly research or just plain ignorance, everyone demonstrates faith in their lives. Hell, even Richard Dawkins one of the most well known atheists in the world and a evolutionary biologists says that somehow mankind is wired to believe. he doesn't understand it, but there is no denying it. Yet you try to make it seem as though the faith demonstrated by people who believe in a transcendent God is not as valid as any other faith, but your reasoning is only based on the senses. You dont seem to grasp the fact that NOT ALL THINGS ARE DEMONSTRATED BY PLACING THEM IN YOUR HAND.
