If you have faith, then why do you need to empirically prove the existence of a god?
If you have faith then...god exists because you believe she does.
It's apologetics, which is for nonbelievers, not believers. Believers already have more than enough evidence to believe, which is why we began to believe in the first place.
No, apologetics is actually for believers. Let’s be honest and admit that overwhelmingly, believers are born into a culture, society that favors some over others. Raise a child in a Hindu culture and overwhelmingly that child will be a believer in the Hindu gods.
Belief for most people is uncritically accepting the gods you were given as a function of place of birth.
If that was true, then no one (or very few) would convert to Christianity in countries like China, India, Muslim countries, etc. But the exact opposite is true. In fact, last I checked one of the fastest growing “revivals” is in China, in the underground church. And that is despite the fact that people have been arrested, jailed or worse for simply holding a Bible study at their home or going to a church that was not government-approved.
People may grow up as a
cultural Christian in a predominantly Christian country or as a cultural Muslim in a Muslim country… but that’s not very different than being a nonbeliever. People who actually care about truth will question the religion of their family background, do their own search for truth and end up coming to their own beliefs, whether those are different than their family’s beliefs or not.
