Why do I believe in God?

This thread is a perfect example of what is wrong with this forum.

The thread was not posted as a debate topic. It is witnessing, and though it is in the “correct” forum for witnessing threads, IMO this is the worst forum for them.

The thread has not claimed that the stated reasons are in any way superior to other reasons either for or against the existence of a God. The OP does not want to debate anyone about the validity of his reasons.

Yet here the thread lies in a place where just about everyone else assumes the intent is to debate reasons for God, or to proclaim the reasons and insist they are unassailable. And so the pile-on begins.
