knifemissle,
i think that when Christians say that they can't believe you question God's existence they mix up the principles of belief and proof. When i talk to Christians and atheists both, the conversation takes a turn for the ignorant when the 2 words are mixed.
I personally believe in God with very little internal doubt. I also believe he is the one described in the ancient Hebrew texts and the one proclaimed by Christ. Can I empirically prove his existence? not by any stretch of the imagination. But, I think, the use of proof seems irrelevant to faith anyway.
