By that line of reasoning shouldn`t his existence be beyond human logic as well?
And don`t try to tell me that you have not used some form of reasoning to believe he exists. If you were born brain dead, you would not believe in God for obvious reasons. You belief in God does come from reasoning.

No, because the word of God is enough for me to believe. Also, they reason why I wake up every morning gives me faith that he is real in my life. When you go through so much and think, "I could have been dead from that, but I am alive." There comes a point in some lives, when people realize that God is real. My believe doesn't come from reasoning, I made the choice to believe. God Bless You!

A religion is called faith for no reason (which means that mental confidence and acceptance without proof). I dunno...it's not that i never thought of God's existence, but i know it's beyond logic and i'm going nuts if i even try to think about it, so i just accept it and go on with my life

Hinduism can give some mystical answers .
Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"
God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.
In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.
Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.
That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.
This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

this bible verse falls under the catagory "What Christians Ignore"....."Satan shall be called god of this world"
What they call god is a deceiver ... actually humans using religion to manipulate the human race... they don't care about the facts or truth... it's an old religious tradition.. hold onto the power... There is no reason or logic to it... that is why all christians are trained in one beleif alone... blind faith..

We learn of his wisdom, power, and generosity by the things he has made. But the Bible reveals why he made mankind, what he is doing now and what he will do in the future. He is perfectly balanced in love, justice, mercy and always fulfills his word so we can depend on him. If we listen to Him, (by studying his Word) then he will listen to us and answer our prayers. You can have a close relationship with Him; the best friend who will never let you down.

The only people who use the 'God is beyond human conprehension' line are those who have contaminated the truth about God so as to make him incomprehensable.

Because some things which happen in our lives seem to defy all odds or explanation.
I think that's where the word "miracle" comes from. Miracles imply the influence of some form of intelligent force.

Exactly.
My only logic is human. Maybe I need a special logic to believe in gods and fairy tales.

Miracles.
Also, nature. I find it really hard to believe that out beatiful earth just happened by chance. I do believe in evolution, but I believe that God is who got it going.

I really enjoyed your question. It's like a suduko puzzle that tickles my brain a little.
I thought that belief came from hearing ghost stories.
