It's a really cruddy belief that simply does not stand up to what I feel we should hold as the standard for believing things are true. If you use such a reason to support your belief in God, it makes me think you're liable to belief in any nonsensical thing.
it's a belief for me based on experiential perception and not tangible evidence

and as you may know, I'm a Gnostic Christian, i have come to the conclusion that God isn't much arsed about you and I
