I'm not sure if you're referring to me, John, but I was simply giving the two most common basic reasons for why people "think God exists".

Again...

1. Because someone else told them so, and they believed that.

2. Because they had an inner feeling of some kind in the heart (quite independent of other people telling them anything) that convinced them so.

The first is a response to cultural conditioning...and it is the main reason why most believers believe. The second is a response to a personal inner experience which cannot be confirmed for or by anyone else, because it's simply an inner experience. As such, it has nothing to do with outer objective evidence. It is beyond debating about objectively. It is sufficient simply for the one who experiences, and its probably quite meaningless to most other people. Such things have been happening since the dawn of humanity. It's kind of like falling in love...it happens, but you can't explain it in objective terms (though I'm sure that some are willing to try).

That doesn't mean it's not real. It just means it's totally individual and subjective, that's all. Like falling in love.
