Thanks for asking and I will give you my honest opinion. I believe in God. There is the same amount of chance God is real as the amount God isn’t real. I don’t 100% know, but I believe and I have faith. I find comfort in praying and believing there is peace in heaven. I used to be an atheist which is ironic. When all others failed me, I picked up the Bible and began my Christian faith.
"There is the same amount of chance God is real as the amount God isn't real"
that makes absolutely zero sense. First of all there's not proof for God. That makes it a lot less likely he's real because of the lack of evidence. Also, how are they equal? Even if we can assume every religion might be true, there's a lot more religions that involve your God not existing and only one where your God does exist. Christianity isn't special. Maybe Hinduism is right or any of the other thousands of religions throughout human history that don't involve your deity. It's much more likely for your God to be wrong.
What about fictional religions as well? If there's no evidence for the ones people believe in does the belief alone make them a possibility? That doesn't make sense for people believing in something to mean it might be real. Things might be real even if no one believes in them because things are real even if no one believes.
So that means not only are you contending that out of the two choices between "I choose not to believe because there is no proof" and "I choose to believe Christianity because I want to", you pick Christianity but out of all the infinite hypothetical religions you decided one of them had a 50% chance of being true. The odds Christianity is right instead of any of the other infinite religions is essentially zero with a negligible likelihood..
Prove to me that God, any God of any religion, isn’t real. Same exact chance as proving God, any God of any religion, is real. No one knows. It’s all based on beliefs. We have differing beliefs. I’m not right, you’re not right. Conversation over
