You guys who claim to be atheists don't want proof, you want an argument. I could offer proof of the writings of Josephus. The problems of thermal dynamics and tons of other things but that does not prove a thing. This is not about reason. To you, for God to truly exist then it must be beyond reason. And that will not happen because you have another reason, another argument, another response to anything that would be said. Faith in God is much more than any of that. You dismiss it as blind obedience, ignorance, naivete, etc. While on a basic level it may be true to some extent. But, practicing faith goes much deeper, much farther than that. Some of you claim it is only used as a last resort. For some, it is. A loved one dying and praying with all faith that God will protect. Or in a life or death situation and recognizing that the only means of escape is that God will save you. Those are situations of faith. Very real and very practical but not what God meant. Faith is to be practiced every moment of every day. Faith that you will get up in the morning. That by the blessing and ability God gave you to get up, go to work, provide for your family, come home safely, and love your family. That God will provide that internal moral compass to practice the Golden Rule. To recognize that the blessings that one has come from God.

Now, here come the ones who lack faith and deny the existence of God. You may dismiss me as some idiot who knows very little about worldly things. That I don't understand. And, in some instances you will be correct. There are things I do not understand. I don't pretend to have all of the answers. I do know where my faith is and that is good enough for me.
