@noodles321321 Craig addresses that question on his site reasonablefaith(dot)org. The issue isn't so much whether there feelings are genuine, the issue is rather are those beliefs justified. Your objection is very common and easily answerable. I would check the site for the detailed answer...

@noodles321321 There are many roads to Europe if you are going to Europe.

WLC is worse than a fool. He's the very embodiemt of the insincerity and outright hypocrisy of Christian apologetics. On the one hand he openly confesses that even if all the argiments and evidence were to point against Christianity, he'd remain a Christian based on the 'witness' of the holly spirit in his heart, and yet he says that you can show that the Mormons or the Muslims are mistaken based on evidence and arguments! that's all one needs to know about Craig's worthless apologetics

Someone needs to hit this guy in the face with a brick and ask him ,"Is that real enough for you?"

Of course, if you tried to experience God and felt nothing, that means you aren't trying hard enough (a la Ray Comfort)

So it's not irrational to believe in some nameless, unknown deity/creator. What if that deity/creator is endorsed by a book filled with scientific and historical absurdities? What if that particular deity/creator has done nothing to disassociate itself with that book? Would it then be irrational to dismiss that deity/creator? This is also a problem of Intelligent Design.

Okay the problem is people that 'know' god have no evidence he exists. I can show evidence the earth wasnt created 5 minutes go, no one ever in the history of history has EVER supplied physical tangible evidence in the existence of ANY god, not just the christian god etc..

Even though I am an atheist I do agree. We are all free to construct our own personal view of reality. Whether that construct is correct or not is unprovable. To some extent, it's correctness is irrelevant to ourselves. But what is very import is that we need to realise that our own personal view of reality is implicitly expressed in everything we do and say. Your view of reality shapes your mind which in turn shapes your view of reality. This positive feedback loop can cause insanity.

He's running scared from the YouTube atheists with this new crap, lol. They have touched a nerve, and he can't get away anymore! Dredging up the Matrix, LMAO!!!!

The thing about 'properly basic beliefs' is that they have to have a degree of universality. Any person from any culture will see a rock, understand that it's a rock, and the minority who say it is something different are considered loopy. 'God's' existence hasn't got that universality. If Craig here was born in India, his whole concept of a deity would be completely at odds to what he's saying now. And it is obvious that there is no universal definition of a supernatural entity.

The evidence for my conclusion is not horribly good; but it can be acceptable. Or even if i cannot define what God is to you, I can still have a sense if my experience of God is true or not, just like I cannot define to you prefectly a chair, to everyone's satisfaction but I can point to you a chair

@hkmarcel Just like million have found God through Moahammed or any of the thousands of relgions out there

yeah right haha

I sure know God and I am so happy that I know Him - now my whole family knows Him eventhough once upon a time they rejected Him. Well, we are enjoying life on a different level now. I just cannot argue with those who do not believe in God as they are living life on a different level. If you really seek Him with all your heart you will find Him - you have nothing to lose. Millions have found God through Jesus Christ - He is real. Be blessed.

i think we actually need evidence for this god thingy.. like sucking all the oxygen out of the atmosphere and we can still breathe and turning our legs into tree trunks or something like that, it would have to be a universal message...
