I can't decide. You?
And I'm referring to any interpretation of God or a higher being (i.e. Buddha, the Jewish/Christian/Catholic/Muslim interpretation of God etc. etc.).

a surprising number of no's so far.
you needed to be more specific about what you meant by "god". if you meant god in the generic sense then yes, that is a surprising number. i think most are assuming you meant the biblical christian god specifically, though, in which case the number of no's is less surprising.

Come up with a better example. Find something that isnt observable by any of our senses and it's existence hasnt been proven by science.
The path
of the righteous man is beset on
all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil
men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the
valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder
of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Answer the question then maybe I'll give you a reply. Have you ever seen the wind? Why do you believe in the wind if you can't see it? You can't answer it.

the wind isn't a thing. it is waves of energy caused by variations in pressure moving through the mixed gas (air) of the lower atmosphere. the waves in the atmosphere itself aren't directly observable by our eyes because our air does not reflect photos with wavelengths in the visible spectrum our eyes have evolved to see. however the waves ARE directly observable with optical equipment that can see other wavelengths, or if a gas is introduced that reflects photons with wavelengths in our visible spectrum. if you've watched smoke on a windy day you've seen the "wind".
i agree - gotta be a better example you can come up with.

Or in simple terms, you can see the wind blowing through the trees everyday.

That is not the wind, brother. When you see the wind blowing through the trees, thats the effects(or affects....whatever)of the wind. True I have never seen God, but I have seen the effects/affects of God. Everytime I seen a drug addict become free, or the broken hearted healed, that is more evidence for God than anything you guys can can come up with.
