      I doubt there is a god out there, for we've never found one after thousands of years of claiming it is there.  But that's not belief, just doubt.

      Without evidence how can belief exist at all?

        YOU have never found one. Speak for yourself.

        That's the pivotal thing about belief - many believe without seeing (without concrete proof).  I've always believed that God exists, and I think that I've looked for verification of that, and have had it over the years; after I put my faith in Christ, I've seen much more verification of that belief.  Those without faith might suggest that I've only found proof, or verification as I put it, because I started with the "assumption" that there's a God, and have attributed things that one without faith might chalk up to happenstance.  I've no argument with that, but it demonstrates that the one cannot convince the other because they begin with separate views, and look to support those views with what they experience.  I believe that every human being starts out with faith from the moment of their creation, and we either choose to keep it or dump it. If we keep it, we either choose to put our faith in Christ, or put it elsewhere.

    I believe I'll have another beer, because I'm thirsty.

    I'm cooking a nice beef and bean burrito. I believe I'll have that to eat. I believe I'll take a hint from Freddy as well, and have at least a quart of beer later on.
