Objective odds of Gods existence - whats your method of assesment?

Dear GrowingSmaller. I believe that there is a God, and there always were, our God is the great I AM. Over the years, God made a world for Man to live in. The Bible, God`s Word to Man, tells us that God made Man to live with for eternity. The Bible tells us that Man was made in God`s Image and lived wonderfully with God, UNTIL an evil
being/Satan spoiled God`s wonderful plan. We know from the Bible how Adam and Eve fell victims to Satan, in the guise of a serpent. Then God knew that His plan for Mankind had to be changed.
Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden, and God gave them the male and female bodies, which all who came after were given by natural birth. How Mankind became more selfish and cruel in time, we know from the Old Testament. In time Jesus our Saviour came to Earth and showed us how God wants Mankind to change again into the men and women which God wants us to be. Jesus gave us two Commandments: 1) Love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. 2) Love our neighbour as we love our selves. ( treat them as we would love to be treated)
Satan the evil one, tried his hardest to spoil all plans of Jesus, and with the help of some like-minded people, Satan tried to bring an end to Mankind. But God spoiled his evil plan, God raised Jesus and Jesus is our Saviour now.
God is Love and God wants loving sons and daughters. In Matthew 7: 7-10: we are told: " ask and you shall receive.
We ask for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all Love and Joy with our neighbour, all we know and all we meet.
The Holy Spirit will help and guide us, and Jesus will lead us all the way: JESUS IS THE WAY.
I say this with love, GrowingSmaller. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

Thanks for that. I have believed in this tale before, and though I do not now I still respect the parables of the gospels etc.

And quoting from the bible to prove god's existence, is silly. One can point to the Tipitaka to prove Vishnu or Vaishnava existence or Harry Potter novels to prove Lord Voldemort exists. One has to present evidence he exists and not an explanation for things Ancient men didn't know.

Theres the idea in ttheology that there is a unity of religious experience common to all faiths, although the idea is regarded as untestable and therefore weak. But I am sure there are some real harry potter mystics out there. The alternatives seem to be "God speaks to man through his own faith lens" or "man deludes himself with his own faith lens".
