I have witnessed. I am creditable, does he have to come to you also for you to believe or why do you not believe what I tell you? How come I can tell you God is great if I do not know?

I have a brain. I think for myself. I neither need nor want anyone else to do my thinking for me.
Why do you not believe me when I tell you God is not real? I am as credible as you.

I am an atheist. I do not believe you when you tell me god is real, because you provide no evidence to support your claim. You have witnessed, however, you are not credible (I really don't care what your credit-worthiness may be). If god comes to me, and satisfies my requirements to prove to me he is indeed god, then I will believe.
You can tell me god is great if you don't know, because you may be deluded into thinking he is real when he is not. You may also be lying.
Some objective, validated, verifiable evidence would be of great help.

Not all atheists are hostile to religion, but many do think that religion is bad. Here are some of their reasons:
Religion gets people to believe something untrue.
Religion makes people base the way they run their lives on a falsehood.
Religion stops people thinking in a rational and objective way.
Religion forces people to rely on outside authority, rather than becoming self-reliant.
Religion imposes irrational rules of good and bad behaviour.
Religion divides people, and is a cause of conflict and war.
The hierarchical structure of most religions is anti-democratic, and thus offends basic human rights.
Religion doesn't give equal treatment to women and gay people, and thus offends basic human rights.
Religion obstructs scientific research.
Religion wastes time and money.
Most atheists willingly concede there are some good things about religion, such as:
Religious art and music.
Religious charities and good works.
Much religious wisdom and scripture.
Human fellowship and togetherness.

You witnessed what? And if you can't spell it, I highly doubt that you are credible. You can tell me your cow is purple, I have nothing but you word, which isn't even spelled right. Atheists and many others don't believe in the God of Abraham because the Bible is really out there, even for mythology, and because so many Christians take it literally, making it seem so much more silly.

I believe you, but thats because I'm a christian.
The people your trying to talk to, can't believe you, and you shouldnt expect them to. Most of them don't know you, and its all online. To see that god is really there in your life, you have to SHOW them, and you cant do that. Witnessing online isnt the best way to do it. Witness to people that can see god working in your life.

you believe you have witnessed, but you have no proof other than your word. i believe things when there is a rational basis for doing so. you have apparently had some sort of experience that has convinced you that god does in fact exist, but you could be mistaken, and regardless, there is no way to prove what you have felt is in fact accurate.

I believe in God but I just had to answer.
Who the heck are you to ask this question?
Someone is just supposed to believe because you say so?
That'll happen. Go team!

If you can show me proof of God that goes beyond Bible quotations, or "I FEEL Him in my life", then I'll believe you. You haven't witnessed anything that can't be explained by a credible psychologist.

You are quite funny in claiming that you are credible, and that anyone else in the world should take your word for anything at all. You ask us how you can make ridiculous claims if you do not know? I wonder if this is a belated April fool's joke. Surely it must be. You are too funny.
