quote:
How can I convince any of you?
I'm afraid that as long as your experiences remain personal, you can't.
Since I was a child, I always wondered why God required faith and didn't show himself to us. That way you could choose to accept or reject him. As I grew up, I found out that, in life, faith is only requested by dodgy second-hand car dealers and cowboy builders. Honest, well-meaning people always show their work, before demanding anything in return.
Why can't an all-powerful, all-loving God be the same ?
And to answer the main topic 'Why is belief necessary ?'
Because it's the
only way, an ideological system based on the supernatural can be supported.
