    In a factory there are many wings like Mechanical,Electrical,Electronics ,civil etc.etc.Each wing has a head designated as a supervisor.All supervisors have a Boss Manager and then General Manager.Chairman is the Boss of all workers including supervisors,Managersand General manager.if any problem arises workers complain to the supervisors and he reports to his Boss and finally rectified.The Chairman who has the Power is not seen in these functions but he is superior to all .workers can't see their Boss chairman in person.Like this There is a super power which guide us and the Power is invisible.

    A mother compel her child to eat well and gives pressure.The child eats but vomit immediately.can we blame the Mother?No .child has some problem in the inner organs and that is the cause for trouble.Here a doctor cure the child and he is a God to the Mother.when we undergo problems, we do get help from someone and that person is God to me.You can feel the presence of God but can't see HIM.

    This thread is not about convincing A but giving us valid arguments and substantial evidences so we A may well be inspired to follow your god or at least take some interest to explore those angles rather telling us how we should find faith and start to believe to see him!

    Great discussion though we seem to have discounted the lack of evidence bit with a whole lot of hand waving. Willing suspension of disbelief seems to be the order of the day. I have more to say but duty calls. Be back later in the day with more answers and even more questions.
