The wind blows. We have concrete evidence of that.
Believers have used that "then what about the wind?" argument here countless times before. That's pretty good evidence that they live in a little dark hole in the ground.

Well, in order for me to believe in a god, I need a little bit more evidence than I currently have. I can feel the wind blow and see the effects of it. The only "evidence" I have of any gods is what other people tell me. Not enough to convince me.

Yeah, the wind blows...and we have concrete evidence as to why it does just that! The only reason you would think otherwise is if you were satisfied with being ignorant about it.
The answer to your question, though, is obviously 'no'. people believe all manor of things, both absurd and not, with no concrete evidence. Some of us simply try not to, or at least keep it at a bare minimum.

Well, you can take that a couple of ways. For one thing, we can measure the quantity and quality of the wind. We can predict storms, tornados. If you tell 100 people to look out the window during 60 mph winds and ask them why the trees are moving, they would all say the same thing. Not so with "god."
In addition, there is the old saying "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." If you claim that an invisible, all powerful being exists *and* that I get to exist outside my body, then you'd better have pretty good evidence of that very ginormous claim. Barring that, you should have *some* evidence!

About the wind: ever hear about an anemometer?
Again: To believe you do not need evidence. If you believe there is a green chicken in your garden, you will have to live with that. If you go and take a look and there IS a green chicken: you know there is one, you do not have to believe anymore.
I personally believe that when I am in an elevator, the building moves up and down and not the elevator. It is my right to believe so and I strongly believe in this point. Many people try to convince me, but i will not doubt allow in my heart.

Hmm, not sure what you mean.
To believe something... for me, requires that the assumption is reasonable, I don't need evidence for things that have been observed earlier, and reported to me by credible sources. If the source is less credible, or the fenomena is new, I'd prefere to see the evidence.
If you were talking about religious faith, then no, the whole point of believing without (and against) all evidence
As for your wind problem, I suggest the following link. http://www.gill.co.uk/products/anemometer/wind_ob2.htm

It would be nice to believe that people used concrete evidence to back up their opinions, but unfortunately they do not. Christa ins believe in fairly tales and so on and so forth. Believe believe in UFO's and Aliens, and there has never been any proof of that. Ignorance is bliss.

Well there is evidence of the wind blowing.
I personally can't see what difference it makes if there is something that has absolutely no measurable effect on the Universe. If it is there, how does it even matter?

God exists,my evidence is that i sought and called out through prayer after years of reflection and repentance,when He answered i changed instantly,i had 'a breakthrough'-i was given new insight and attitude and a new love in my heart.
My life changed for the better and my family and friends noticed this also,it couldn't be explained rationally or naturally as God is outside of those factors.
Jesus is the way,the truth and the life-John 14:6
God Bless you.
