How do I know God exists? Personal experience. Things you probably wouldnt believe or understand because you werent in my shoes.
This is coming from somebody that used to be an atheist.

Breh, there's no reason why Native Americans were abused and their land stolen, their dignity stepped on and their legacy annihilated other than because Europeans could. Not everything makes sense and happy endings only exist in movies. Chaos is part of the world unfortunately and you're only filling the blanks in the puzzle with your faith.
could not have said it better myself.
at no time did I leave "what you said"
Well that is not true at all
Because the approach may need to be curative
For example a schizophrenic who murders because of auditory hallucinations is not necessarily evil although he commits evil acts, understand why he does those acts is crucial to eradicating the behavior.
Well that would be lovely
m'k
I sincerely do not see how they do that
you can certainly elaborate if you wish
so then you would be willing to accept anyone else's personal experience as valid enough for them to not believe in God, correct?

Why would they need me to accept their belief on God not existing?

1. Your example is different from what was stated. See I said its like "why does it matter WHY evil exists?" Your example dealt with why he committed evil which would be dealt with during the "dealing with evil" part I stated is more important than why EVIL exists.

4. I sincerely think you're playing hard headed. But if you're not, go back and read my questions in relation to the dilemma, respond to those, and then we'll start from there.
would it not matter that you accept it?
1. it matters only if you know something about god1. Your example is different from what was stated. See I said its like "why does it matter WHY evil exists?"

but you know nothing about god by your own admission
this makes the question of evil moot since you don't even f god is evil or good

1. Since God would have had to of ultimately created both GOOD and EVIL, why would He not transcend both?
NZA
LOL
if scriptures were meant for west africans from hundreds of years ago, why would god give them to middle eastern semites thousands of years ago?
i don't know y we had to go in on the OP.. We can just ignore all the religion talk for now--- for some of us, that shyt helps, for most it hurts. I think that we've made progress considering all of the fukk shyt we've been through... We've just started working on the mental community trauma and we been chipping away at the self hate for some decades now.
We live in the land of our oppressors and amongst the same people who would be hanging us if this were 40 years ago... so we just need to know.... With health, money, group economy and education - this is war.
There are enough 30 year olds and up n coming 20's that are working on shyt now.... we'll be aight.
pause breh...you already said you don't know anything about god except that he exists, are you now saying that know that he created good and evil? and that you also know that this must imply he transcends good and evil? are you now changing your previous answer? (which is fine btw) and is there anything else you want to add to the list of thing you know about the god you believe in?

What?
positing and proffering reason so neccesitates the sanction of the interlocutor that it is a priori afterthought
A vibrant debate is not "going in" on anyone and in fact, not engaging in such debates on a site called the coliseum and dedicated to nothing but debate is intellectually dishonest and cowardly
well you know...that would kind of flush the OP's thread down the toilet, cuz the logic of his original post relies on the central dogma of judeo-christian religion, ie one must believe the words in the bible are truegiving birth can be painful but we like the behbehs, so....
but the pain of of these discussions is really about cognitive dissonance and identity shedding, which all can be relieved if one has the right diagnosis and is willing to go through the pain of debate
and the facing of the truth
the reward is peace of heart
