how do you believe or know god is real?

the thing is, truth is truth.  it's a proposition - t or f.  either god is real, or god isn't real, or god is intermittently real, sometimes existing and sometimes non-existing/existent.  these are all things can't be argued by people as wrong because it's a logical argument.

the thing is we don't know what truth is.  we can only believe.  we choose to believe we are in a real world, or we choose to believe that this is an imaginary world.  we may be right or wrong in what we choose.

the same can be said about people knowing.  knowing is logically hard to prove.  do you know you exist - ii think therefore i am.  i have doubts with my logic.  the fact that i can doubt means i exist.

people knew zeus was throwing lightning bolts because he was angry.  this person that person we all know it's zeus.  and if you say you know god is real, where's the logic behind the fact that i can believe you.  there are people the believe in another religion and also know their god is real.  and your religions clash and contradict.  so logically how do i know to believe in your religion?  please - a reason.

    My own experiences with him.  Every year millions experience God for themselves.  You should, too.  It's the logical thing to do.  Don't bother moving the goalposts.  It's more evidence than atheists have to shore up their fantasy that there is no God.

    What is the Ultimate (God)? 

    The ultimate would be that power that makes everything possible. Powers it. Moves it. In the whole universe. I’m not going to try to define it because one of the definitions of the ultimate is that it’s indefinable. I’m not going to try to explain to you what infinity is; we cannot understand what infinity is. 

    This universe is amazing, but the fascinating thing is not understanding the universe, but understanding that what powers the universe happens to be within us right now, and we can experience it. And when you do, you are filled with peace, with clarity, with joy. This is when you experience the truest, truest happiness.

    Nothing supernatural exists and that rules out all gods.

    Gods existence is impossible to prove and that means it is also impossible to disprove. And while not being able to prove god does not exist might seem like a good argument for Gods existence, it doesnt. Making unfalsifiable claims is a way to leave the realm of rational discourse, since unfalsifiable claims are often faith-based, and not founded on evidence and reason.

    While it may actually be a fact that tiny, invisible, mythological creatures are occupying this person’s opening at the lower end of the alimentary canal, it is a theory that is constructed so it cannot be falsified in any way; therefore, should not be seriously considered without significant evidence.

    My point being, it is not possible to KNOW God is real and because of that, just like the tiny mythological creatures previously mentioned, his existence should not be seriously considered without significant evidence, and unfortunitly none exists

    Properly, You Do not.

    Religion is Faith Based,  You Believe on Faith, no proofs.

    That is how the Scummy Cons work.
