THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. THIS BELIEF THING IS SO IMBEDDED IN A LOT OF US THAT WE THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BELIEVE EXACTLY LIKE WE DO HENCE EMOTIONAL RHETORIC IS USED TO REINFORCE OUR MESSAGE TO WHOMEVER WILL LISTEN AND IF THEY DONT LISTEN THEY WILL BURN IN HELL . AT LEAST THIS GIVES US SOMETHING TO HASH OVER

Emotions are not the way to prove God exists,
It is by faith which is the evidence of the things not seen.
Here I will give you an example
I used to preach and teach athiesm, drive like a nutter, swear like there was no tomorrow, I hated eveybodies guts, I used to get drunk as, and
the most amazing thing, all the creepy little sins I did changed when I believed in the Salvation of God,
Oh and That Bible became the most easy to understand self help manual in the world, religious twits cannot lie to me with their sappy mushy emotional ninny fits.
NO EMOTIONAL RHETORIC, THAT IS BLASPHEMY.

Well...it isn't valid. It's a logical fallacy, an appeal to emotion, and also, quite often, an argument from personal experience, an argumentum ad populum, or an argumentum ad hominem, all of which are equally invalid.

BULL CRAP
its not all they have.. ha my Evidence for God goes as follows
*Im Christian to add*
Archeology confirms the Bible
Prophecy predicts Chrsit and many other historical events , even to the exact day if your good at math, it also talks about how Jesus would die,what city he would be born in , and how much his friend would betray him for..
also Logic confirms that there is a God , Nothing plus Nothing equals nothing then why is there Something?
For there to be a Creation there must be a Creator if there is no Creator then is no Creation .
also personal experience for Example I used to be a Atheist then I started experimenting with the occult and I saw my best friend get possessed by a demon and I was also chocked by a unseen force...
My belief in God is not based soly on emotions but on logic,archeology,prophecy,science, and personal experience.
My Faith is a Hybrid of Faith and Evidence yes I have faith but I don't have blind faith.
Ha you all gave me a Thumbs down? ha Debate me if so ;)

It's not.
It is never valid evidence anywhere (of course considering that belief in god pretty much reduces to it a lot of people try to pretend that it is).

It's called faith hon. And without faith you'll never know God. And so God will never know you. How tragic. A soul is a terrible thing to waste.
