[MD] Confirming the existence of God?

[Mary]

Hi Ant,

[quote]
My apologies if this question has already been asked recently but rather
than
confirming the existence of God, how do you know this "feeling" doesn't
instead
indicate that you've gone insane, been affected by drugs (legal or
otherwise),
been hypnotized through social conditioning, suffered a stroke, been subject
to
carbon monoxide poisoning or even some combination of these?

Thank you so much!  In my reply to Mark I stuck to a patient rebuttal
explaining the difference between having faith in something you can confirm
if you chose to take the time to do so vs. having faith in something that
can never be confirmed, but I was soooo wanting to jump all over this.  

I have a problem with telling me you believe something because you "feel" it
when I don't also "feel" it.  What are we to make of that?  If I had a
direct connection to God I'm sure I would have faith too.  Seems kind of
unfair, though, that only some of us can "feel" it. :(
