[/b] Do we have evidence of this? Yes [/quote] I've seen claims of healing, yet I've never seen any proof. Medical records would be a good start. [/quote] Inversely, did you personally check, their medical records, to prove the person didn't receive healing? To blindly accept info, without evidence, is just as unwise to blindly reject without evidence. Also, if there are frauds, I would say be careful to jump to conclusions, that all occurrences are also frauds. This would be like, coming across a lying person, that belonged to a group. If the person, lies, that doesn't mean all people are liars. [/quote]

I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you.
Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide.
