Yeah... we should all now believe in Leprechauns, Pixies, Tengus, Hu Li Jings, Vampires, Succubis, Wonder Woman and her Invisble Jet, The Easter Bunny and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Oh Yeah... and the 1970s reruns of "Secrets of Isis" is actually a vision from the Goddess herself... and we shouldn't go sailling or we might fall over the edge of the world since its actually flat.
Just believing in heresay, is to keep oneself in the dark with a blindfold and insist that the sun isnt shining and the light is not on.

If you had ever experienced the Holy Spirit you would know that there is absolute, tangible proof of the existence of God. To know God is to know the truth.

Blind faith is generally a substitute for logic and reason.
Here is one bad argument:
Here's a dopey example: You tell your kid "Don't eat arsenic ,it will kill you ".The kid says "I want tangible proof of the killing power of it before I believe it".
What are you going to do? Get the dog and sprinkle some on his food? NO! You're going to say "Look ,Junior, this stuff is poison and it will kill you because I said it will!"
Now ,if the kid has 1/2 a brain and you have never decieved him.I'd think he would listen and take it on faith.
The problem here is the arsenic exists. Is tangible and has substance. Your diety has none of those things and exists only in your imagination, If one person believed in something false we would call them delusional. If a group believes in it you call it a religion.

lol. If someone says that the sky is purple polka dots, are you going to believe it or do you want proof?
Thats a ridiculous question is what it is. Why should I devote my entire existance to something if I don't know, with absolute proof, that something exists?
Think about it.

We have proof, through our faith." For we walk by Faith, and not by sight"." Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." We all will have him knocking at the door of our hearts, it is just whether we answer the door to let him in or not. Think of it as a spiritual opening to your soul and your very being. Once you have let him in to your very being, you feel him, you hear him "My sheep know my voice". You have all the tangible proof you need. You know because you know and you crave to know him more. He is revealing, he reveals himself to you once you open yourself to him. He will not force himself on anyone. He wants you through love not out of fear. It becomes a personal relationship and you know his presence. You know when you have even hurt him through denying him to others out of fear of persecution, you feel his pain. It is an awakening that is so hard to explain unless you have experienced it. But you will never be the same and I will never be ashamed for my faith. I am not religious I am born again!

I do not require what many would call absolute proof for believing because in my heart God speaks to me, He tells me I am His own when it feels as if no one is on my side. I can feel Him next to me when the world tells me I am nothing and alone. I know God loves me. He sent Jesus Christ to die for me, and Jesus rose again. I know that in this world of fear and doubt I have Jesus. I have no fears. I don't worry of death. When my turn comes that only means I have eternity to spend in Heaven. I can't wait! I have only on job on earth, do God's will. If I do that and believe my home is Heaven. Just thinking of Heaven fills my heart with excitement for what's to come.

Logic and reason state that something had to create us. That would be God, what ever you want God to be. It's the chicken or the egg philosophy. It is quite possible to believe that the Big Bang happened and that God exists.

What would absolute, tangible proof be?
You mean SEEING him?
Seeing is believing?
I don't think so.
Even with that, scads of people would say it was a hoax.
What separates us from other life forms is our intellect.
We should use it.
