When are you going to realise that all your beliefs amount to, in reality, is only that - beliefs. It's just something you've been taught, it's just a learned behaviour.

I'll be perfectly honest and tell your that my beliefs are based upon tangible, real experiences.

I believe my very existence today and all that I have is a testament to an undeniable, all knowing and benevolent God. It wasn't taught however. I was taught the basics via family and church. The experiences however was purely personal and first hand. Too many to list, some downright unbelieveable (I mean, REALLY unbelievable) , which only reinforce my own faith in God. What I was taught was how to perceive that which I encountered, and in recognizing that force in my life and embracing it, I am complete.

So anyway, as I see it, the miracles in my life are way to many to count, and if I say "Thank You" every day for the rest of my life it won't be enough.

Then you do not have faith. Belief in the existence of God requires nothing tangible to tell you god exists. The whole point of Christianity is that it's a system based on faith in the unknown. There's no tangible proof in God. God says he refuses to prove he exists because proof denies faith and without faith God is nothing. So all the real tangible experiences people are having with God, they're either mistaking something else for a tangible experience with God or they have created in their own mind the proof they've needed and destroyed God in their own heads.
