I understand, I just...okay I'll explain it this way.
There are certain people whom I would trust unconditionally. Technically I have no way of knowing for sure that they would not at some point betray me, but we have a relationship where I have enough faith in them not to do so, that I do not worry.
I imagine that this is kind of the same thing religious people feel in reference to God.
The problem for me is just (well not just, but one of several reasons), that I cannot place such complete trust in a force that I am not even sure exists and that there is considerable evidence against.
Oh , okay. Yes i know what you mean then.
I think this is where personal experience comes in , and you cant look at someone else's experience , it has to be personal.
For me , ive been through...lets say alot.
People say to me , how can you believe in God that ALLOWS THAT!!!
But ive come through it all.
Also from my own life , i feel like i know God. I dont know everything about Him. I dont understand all he does.
But I just know he loves me. I know it.
I dont tell people about it much , because its personal , and wont mean a thing to them. But i believe , at some point , everyone is going to have some sort of experience or revelation of it. I hope so anyway.
