God. Abstract concept. I have connection with God, other people may have more or less such connection. It's something I cannot grasp, yet I know it when I have it. I have connection through church, and connection trough my own mind. There's nothing supernatural or vague about God, it just is. I can prove that I am in connection with God by showing that I am in possession of certain insights or relationships that non-connected people do not posess. After all, that's what God is all about : the "right" relation with the world around us.
Philosophers and religious figures around the world have debated this one....and to many, God is no less real than freedom. After all, how would you describe freedom to someone who never understood it? How could you make them realize that such a thing really existed? Could you produce physical proof of love, of freedom, of emotion?
My point is: you're all asking for signs and miracles...restricting the type of God you would beleive in. Maybe God isn't about divine fireworks, or holy cameo appearances...and you've defined away that possibility before even giving it a chance. Would you only beleive in freedom because of the 4th of july? Would you only believe in love if you could touch it?
