You are both right and wrong ,, for example,,,, you stated ,,

" And once again, I think you'll find that such an idea can neither be proved nor disproved, and we're all back to believing or not believing on what we perceive to be the balance of evidence. "

---> This may be true however some of us have seen and lived Truth which literally forces us to believe whether we want to or not . I assume not very many people are in this situation , knowing the Truth and this is because not all could handle the Truth and also due to the other reasons God cannot allow us all to know the Truth . This is why the Atheists do not believe , because they have not "seen" the Truth first hand but those who have , have had it documented throughout History in many Holy Books etc .

I am just like an Atheist but l was "forced" to believe what l have done and seen with my 'own' hands , and l know . I also see why it is so difficult and perhaps impossible for others to see the Truth because l also could not see the Truth until it was literally shoved down my throat , and l say that because l have tasted the spit from a person who came back from the dead .
Sure l know how l sound but that is because it has to be this way and for those who know the truth 'First Hand' they know what world l am living in and how l react when l hear Atheists speak 'their' truths with all due respect to them . God cannot allow a person with a snap of God's finger to do a Miracle etc . It is a life long living concept which we all are living but very few if any are aware of it , that they are in a world they cannot see but it is all around them and some can see it but obviously Atheists cannot and l do not condemn an Atheist because they are not seeing the Truth as it really is .
