isn't it wrong to spread beliefs that are not founded in fact?
If you cannot offer proof of a religious claim, isn't it as if you are spreading lies?

i 'm a pretty honest person.
i don't try to convert anyone to my "religion". that is something that is different for everyone.
i'm pagan, but that is my truth. it doesn't have to be yours.

I hope you're not basing your assumptions that what you read in the Bible is 100% true?
What you claim...fact, proof are highly subjective issues.
The Catholic Church created the "gift of constantine" and the "letter of St Peter", both clearly forgeries, but both remain pillars of legal precedence, history and belief.
One persons fact is another persons lie.
On the other hand, some of the answers that speak of personal experience and collective personal experience, well that is probably the closest you'll ever get to proof you want and claim.

I think you are mixing facts with faith or conviction ! Which sacred book can claim to be based on fact when, it was written long after the its author(s) died and he is not there to vouch for its veracity ? What other proof do you want that the Quran, the Gospel, the Torah, the Vedas are fact ?

There is air around us, you can not see it, you can not smell it, you can't taste it. But you are breathing and you are alive.....There are few things in this world to be felt....there is no need of facts for such feelings.
How would you feel if i ask you the proof of the breaths you've taken in, would you be able to give me the account? There are few things beyond the limits of proofs....understand this and you will come to know that these things are not lies.

Faith is reasonable and logical but it's also spiritual which means that it's unseen, not subject to be proved empirically. It is true that a carnal man who hasn't had the eyes of his understanding enlightened won't be able to comprehend the things of the spirit, but that doesn't mean that they aren't just as real as the things he can grasp with his carnal mind.
