How do you know God exists

As someone who’s non-religious but is a philosopher in this regard, I do indeed believe in a higher power. You don’t “know” if there’s one or not, you choose to believe in one or believe. I’m a hardcore evolutionist and science fanatic, and I can guarantee you that it doesn’t disprove the existence of a god I’m any sort of way. But it does prove some stories are not as they were. I personally believe a lot of the stories in the Bible are meant to be metaphorical, instead of being taken literal it’s meant to instill a message to your interpretation. Atheists and theists tend to stick the finger at each other and say “I hate you because you don’t believe in god” or vice versa. They claim they know the answer to this question, but that’s for you to decide. People can try to prove or disprove god all they want, but they can’t. It’s your own decision to make. P.S. And I find it funny there’s actually apart of the brain dubbed “the god brain” which actually is for the purpose of believing in a higher power. Hmmmmmm sounds like there is one to me.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you don’t know, you believe

Just know that everyone questions this whether they have OCD or not? it’s okay to question your faith:) just know that what causes you distress is the ocd ruminations and obsessions!

If you weren’t destined for heaven Would you choose eternity in Hell or nothing like before you were born?

I believe in the power God or some higher power I feel it in everything. I think ocd is connected with it somehow in the sense of through the suffering comes redemption

I know this is an old post, but I thought I’d comment anyway. I was raised a Christian and I believe that many of the flaws in the theory of evolution are too big to ignore, but perhaps one of the biggest reasons why I believe in God is because there have been too many “coincidences” in my life for them to actually have been coincidences. Answered prayers, difficult situations in my life working out perfectly, and people being placed in my life at exactly the right time. So much in my life has unfolded so seamlessly that I can’t believe God does not exist.
