You can't really believe God exists without Him helping you
Aye, there's the rub.If he won't help me not much sense in searching is there? This is because if he were real and came calling {and I could rule out ordinary things such as that brain section of ours that induces such feelings} there would be no need on my part to trust that he is there to begin with.
The evidence can be found to show God as real to you.You then must take the next step to put trust in what you know to be real and true
Well,there you go, such is the difficulty since we have wildy varying standards of evidence.You have also the difficult task of explaining why one needs trust to find evidence for that which one presumably knows to be real and true.
Sir,if you know it to be real and true
without evidence how can you,except you first believe,know god exists in order to be shown the evidence? That is a subtle form of fooling yourself in order to find that which you wish to find in the first place. It is highly suspect,since if you first place yourself in that position of belief you have then put your brain into a search mode to find support for the belief while at the same time put blinders on to that which contradicts such a stance.
Anyhow, I am sure tea in Whistler {being an atheist as I am} would be the equivalent to me of having gone to heaven and found it filled with all my wildest hopes and dreams. I assume you ski?
