  however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?

  if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.

  (1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.

  So I think these threads on proof of Gods existence are insane, we are here together ex- Jehovers Witnesses and we need special emergency meetings to discuss if God exists. That's insane.

  Ahhh, I thinks you see after all.

  Seems to me here though that these people are hurtin, not so much that they do not know that God exixts but give up faith because they cannot reconcile God with seas of suffering. I see poi pain and others, but not until his last post did I see proof of CL pain. I wish I could give you what I have.

  Here is the objective evidence that Jehovah is reality that can be verified: Jehovah's Holy Spirit is proof, conclusive, convincing evidence, certainty- which is what proof is all about
  

  Subjective evidence is just that, evidence; it is convincing, but,you just do not know with certainty.

  I am certain that God exists.

  i've learned that many years ago, there was a man named brother chitty of some prominence in the jehovah's witnesses organization.

  it fact, chitty was a member of the governing body.

  chitty was asked to resign his position after serving for many years and nothing much was ever said about it to jehovahs witnesses.

  How could anyone ask the guy anything for him to defend? WT moved him away.

  And how does that subject matter have anything to do with it being unfair to defame a man from accusations without first listening to his defense?

  ....and how does a conclusion about evidence validates the conclusion?

  Happy Pi Day

  tomorrow is march 14 (3.14), so its known as pi day, to honour the all-important constant.. incidentally, the bible has been criticized by mathematicians because the scriptures give a very poor value of pi.. the scripture is based on 1kings 7: 23 and reads as follows:.

  "and he proceeded to make the molten sea ten cubits from its one brim to its other brim, circular all around; and its height was five cubits, and it took a line of thirty cubits to circle all around it".

  now that shape is actually mathematically impossible to construct, because if the diameter is 10 cubits, the circumference would have to be 31.4159 cubits.

  This blog explains why the apologist explanations are wrong:

  I suppose that proves that the Bible is wrong?

  I do not see how not liking evidence invalidates it. I also do not see how conclusions about evidence invalidates it.

  You have no idea how you belittle people by your comments sometimes

  That is another subject matter and you also posted other subject matters. And we can discuss all of these discuss subject matters.

  But what does that have to do with it being unfair to defame a man from accusations without first listening to his defense?

  The men that you are referring to were good men, they served the best they could. Whatever failings they had does not cheapen any of the good they did or tried to do. Also, It is unfair to defame a man from accusations without first listening to his defense.

  prologos, I am still savoring in my mind your post that defines faith by contrasting it with wishful thinking.

  Now please inform this ignoramus ,about the impossible shape mathematically speaking .smiddy

  I wrongly concluded that you were referring to me, you should have . I figured wrong. I am sorry. fisherman

  But also, when I said : 'maybe below', I was not alluding to your stature, I was referring to the circumference below the brim as prologos explained.

  Happy pie day vs the weeping wall.

  Conclusion (there are others): The Temple did not exist, nor did the Mikveh, nor does the weeping wall exist today. Or circles were not around back then or laws of geometry did not apply or they did not know how to make circular circles because smiddy is smart.
  

  Or there is more to understand about the measurements recorded. (maybe below ????)
