Yes i have.
you yourself have said you haven't seen any evidence
what you describe with the rest of your post isn't evidence of a god, it's a belief or a hope that he exists.

All knowledge must be based in, must come from, experience.
All knowledge, that is worthy of that name, should be a knowledge which is based in experience.
Johnsmith,
I haven't lived your life, and i haven't seen or experienced [many] things in your life.
Nevertheless i would suggest that your psyche has validated your own life experiences [i.e. memories].
But, because Johnsmith's experiences are not my experiences, it is obvious that my [Yadda's] life experiences are invalid.
And it is true also, that Johnsmith, can understand and comprehend something, even though he has not experienced it [in his life].
e.g.
Even though Johnsmith is not omniscient, Johnsmith, can understand and comprehend and can assert with confidence that there is no God and no spirit realm.
And that people like that Yadda are so, so mistaken.
.
Mankind are so, so wise [...and knowledgeable!!!!!].
Just look at the state of this world.
But there is nothing to worry about folks, because the member states of the
United Nations are on the brink of bringing into being a utopia for mankind on this earth!
Men are self-serving, corrupt, vicious, cruel, greedy and vain.

Quote:But we are hypocrites.
And the 'proof of the pudding', of that last accusation, is that when >> we << are wronged, >> we << want justice.
The TRUTH is that >> we << hate injustice,
when injustice bears down upon >> OURSELVES <<.
But we humans tend to reject those [moral] rules [that would protect peace and justice], when those restrictive [moral] rules must also apply to, OURSELVES.
The TRUTH is that >> we << human beings, are moral hypocrites.The TRUTH is that most 'normal' human beings are vain, selfish, lustful, greedy, violent creatures, who, when we are without restraint,
demonstrate very clearly, that we have no moral compass.
AND, we like it that way, .....
so long as circumstances are going our way.
AND, as far as most of humanity are concerned, God and his 10 commandments can take a jump.
And that assessment, is correct, isn't it ?
That, again.....
'[morality] Rules are for other people.
Rules are 'crazy', and restrictive, and they are not for us.'

A simple definition of SANITY/INSANITY.
Typically, an unrestrained sane person will act in ways which are harmless to others, and in ways which are creative, and productive [for himself, others, and society].
And typically, and conversely, an unrestrained INSANE person will act in ways which are harmful and destructive to himself, and, or, others around him.
