Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

Based on our experiences of the world, it would be pretty reasonable to assume the Earth is static, at the center of the universe, and flat.  These are the most intuitive positions without studying the matter.  They're also wrong of course.  Our intuition (just feeling something) is usually a good way to go about things, but can mislead us.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been online that much.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't get the point in essentially telling me "You know you could be wrong, right?" as if I wouldn't already be aware that my personal opinions or beliefs could be wrong, unless i'm misunderstanding...?

I believe there is a God and I respect if others don't believe, we all see the world differently and for me, it leads me to believe in God, I could be wrong and I acknowledge that.

I don't know if I want to say anything further, i'm not that good at articulating my thoughts...

  

You're right on that.  Just because your intuitions could be wrong isn't any reason to believe they are.

So, assuming we agree that your intuition can be right or wrong, how can we figure out which it is?
