If Once belief is Reasoning then you cant proved His existence its beyond your wildest imagination.
We need this: BALANCE and HARMONY!
YIN (ATHEISM)
YANG (THEISM)
Faith/belief is normal, in fact that maintains our sanity in a very chaotic/uncertain world we live in, reasoning is also normal since we are a thinking animal, its only when reason fails that one is apt to avail of faith, & for me its ok,
& its also fine if people doesn't avail of faith but to wait for some empirical truth to someday appear in their microscope or telescope,
on the other hand to say that Faith is the solid proof of gods existence is for me too much of a claim, in fact faith has nothing to do w/ proof/evidence, that's the beauty w/ faith,
& for me if god really exist whether personal, impersonal, pantheistic, etc,
our belief or non belief does not diminish or add to his existence, my personal opinion lang
