There is no proof for a lot of things that you choose to believe in. If you love someone, you can't empirically prove to me that you love that person. You can't prove to me your emotions. It is just that because everyone experiences such things, no one questions their reality.
Some people experience God just as tangibly as you might experience love, or some emotion; sometimes, it might be stronger. Why do you think you have the right to ridicule them for their own experience?

Why?

An answer for what?
Why do you think you can judge if they think something is the will of God? You don't even think God exists, have never experienced God, so don't know if one can be so confident in such things.

See, you're calling it nonsense again. What if I call your beliefs nonsense?
Also, who ever mentioned having it in the workplace or anywhere else public? However, it must be said that some moral baseline is used in government or in public in general, so refusing to allow religion in the public is professing one belief to be superior to another. Why should we have your beliefs in the public?

The only one judging or putting down anyone else right now is you. You may search for the answer however you see fit, but please accept that others may search quite differently than you, but that their methods may be just as valid.

Dangerously so? Like I said, it is a matter of faith, just as you have faith in various things. Everyone has faith, even if not in religion. How can you label someone as dangerously wrong for something as you said, can not be proven / falsified?
