I believe there is a personal, compassionate, all powerful God because His Spirit is at work in me. This could be gullibility, and even madness. I see everything I experience as His work for good in me. I know this makes me as gullible as they come. And, if it is a delusion, then we are, as Paul says, "of all men most to be pitied".
If we are wrong, at the very least, we have set ourselves apart from a corrupt world that is, except by the most wishful thinking, doomed.
If we are right :
"No eye has seen
no ear has heard
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those
who love him.
but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit."
1 Corinthinans 2: 9,10
