Would you prefer to have a belief in God?

Alternately, what type of evidence might persuade you hold such a belief?

Yes, I would prefer to believe in God. I'm only agnostic because I have to be, not because I want to be.

As for evidence, I've pretty much given up hope that any concrete scientific/historical evidence in favour of any religion will come to light. I'd be satisfied with a personal spiritual experience.

It would appear that you have no misgivings over the religiosity of others. If this is an accurate assessment, why might this be so?

I may not have been lucky enough to experience any supernatural phenomena to lead me to believe God or some other higher power was running the show, but that doesn't necessarily mean others haven't. There are definately believers out there who are liars and lunatics, but I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that they all are; I feel they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I really only have a problem with the religiosity of others if their faith is clearly blind with no solid foundation to support it and/or they mock the beliefs of others while forcing their own down peoples' throats.
