Why would I try to show proof for anything to someone that I consider to be fictional? In your letters to Santa, do you insist that you have been good?God is not on trial...you are. It is you who need to show Him proof. Surely a Christian-raise person, should know that. Were you not paying attention?
Eyewitness testimony is not "argument from popularity." Come back when you know the difference.Argument from popularity? Come sir I expect better from those who claim to hold the truth.

No, eyewitness testimony is just as commonly excepted as physical evidence...and yes, I have a world of physical evidence. Shall I begin at the beginning?Eyewitness testimony is notoriously inaccurate, and is quickly tossed when it is not corroborated by physical evidence. You don't have any corroborating evidence, do you?
Why are you mixing the "feelings" experiences with the "knowing" experiences?
Personal experience may not be evidence in the courts, but eyewitness testimony is. Why are you mixing these two also?

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (testimony)
I submit the earth as evidence. (physical evidence)
See you at the trial.His existence is very much "on trial". And no evidence has ever been produced for a 'conviction'.
What indicates that "absolutely nothing will convince [him/us]"?True. And as a psychologist (not talking about religion at the moment), I can tell you that it is virtually impossible to convince someone (regardless of proofs) of something that they are fully committed to disbelieve. Everything we believe is a choice. I have seen many people deny the reality which is right before their eyes. Others have minds far to open and gullible, believing patently untrue ideas. So of course I cannot prove anything to you because absolutely nothing will convince you. The only reason I am interacting with you is because perhaps there are others with reasonably open minds who are reading this.

Me. I can name me.Can you name one contemporary source for the claims in the bible, especially about Jesus?
The ancient Roman empire were extremely good record keepers.
"They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people." Matthew 27:53--- apparently zombies walking around wasn't really that important to write down.
For your life. The same written testimonies also explained that WE are the walking dead. Did you not know that you were death on borrowed time?On trial for what?
Brilliant. Good luck proving anything more than a generation ago. Goblins then.your "testimony" was made by one who could not possibly have witnessed the events they claim.
And the earth is just as much "evidence" for planet-creating goblins as it is for your preferred brand of deity.
Oh, contraire...you are producing your own evidence this very moment. When you are done, you may step down.Oh, but we are here already. Your god's existence has been claimed for the last several thousand years. It has been a long and drawn-out trial, but no-one has yet produced an iota of credible evidence.
Because...you judge yourself, and receive the verdict that you yourself hand down.Why would I try to show proof for anything to someone that I consider to be fictional?
Me. I can name me.
1. Somehow you almost make it sound like this weren´t the same with full commitment to believe.True. And as a psychologist (not talking about religion at the moment), I can tell you that it is virtually impossible to convince someone (regardless of proofs) of something that they are fully committed to disbelieve.
Depends on how you define choice.Everything we believe is a choice.
...but for some reason you are sure it can´t be you?I have seen many people deny the reality which is right before their eyes. Others have minds far to open and gullible, believing patently untrue ideas.
So you are presupposing I am one of those persons whom you have described above? How convenient for you.So of course I cannot prove anything to you because absolutely nothing will convince you.
Dear Sir, this entire post of yours reeks like a pile of projections (psychologically speakingThe only reason I am interacting with you is because perhaps there are others with reasonably open minds who are reading this.
con·tem·po·rar·yI don't think you know what the word "Contemporary" means.
I am.
