Here’s the thing about evidence. It’s a tricky set up once we get the debate swung only that way.

Because for believers? We have a sort of evidence that doesn’t really make an unbeliever jump over our fence most of the time.

The evidence is something real enough to us? But sort of aimed in a way that it doesn’t give us a universal solve to the whole problem. I mean it sort of fits in well with the idea that God doesn’t want a clear path to his door. He sort of gives out clues instead of roadmaps so that those who want to find him do? And those who don’t simply don’t end up blocking the path.

For example my evidence is really a tight package in with what helped me get past my addictions. But it isn’t likely to change anyone else’s mind. And that’s ok though. I mean I don’t need people to believe in God just because I had a personal vision right at the time when I expected it the least. Right at a time when I deserved it the least.

So I don’t really know what to tell you about subjective evidence.

I guess it’s sort of like willful bias. If a guy looks for proof of God he’ll find it. But honestly if he looks for proof that God doesn’t exist he’ll find that too. It’s the only way God can stay a chosen option instead of a forced one.

Or something
