Re-asking a stolen question....
"I know this may sound like a truly stupid question, and for that I apologize in advance, but I'd appreciate it if you'd indulge me.
I'm an agnostic theist. I know there is no evidence for God, etc., but I do have that sense that so many theists refer to that there is something greater. Christians call it 'knowing in their heart,' or the Holy Spirit entering them of having Jesus in their hearts. I just call it a sense that there *is* something more. It may not be 'supernatural' or anything... it could just be a collective consciousness... but whatever it is, I call it God and believe in it despite the lack of evidence.
Many atheists point out that such feelings could very easily be the result of brain chemistry or such things or even mental illness.
I was just asking myself why I believe in God even though I agree with you guys on evidence requirements, etc. and the answer I came up with is this sense that God exists.....
