"I can not prove that my belief in my specific God is true any more then I can prove that leprechauns , unicorns , the flying spaghetti monster , magical space monkeys and living care bears exists . That does n't mean I do n't believe in God however ."
"actually , it can be proven whether leprechauns , unicorns , the flying spaghetti monster , magical space monkeys and livining care baers , and even god , exists or not . the question of proving a belief seems kinda self-contradictory to me . if something is a fact that can be proven , then your belief about it is irrelevant . likewise , if you believe something , whether there are facts to support it or not , its still your belief . there are people who believe things inn the absence of supporting facts , and sometimes even in the face of opposing facts . the term for that is faith faith is the belief of something in the absence of evidence . if you have faith in something , proof is irrelevant , or at least it should be"
