And if God exists, which God is the true one? the Christian God? the Muslim God? the Mormon God? Who is right and who is wrong?

This opens an a labyrinth of questions with no end.

...

• What prerequisites should we attempt to achieve before entering into discussions with others regarding this topic?
• What approach should we take with regards to answering this age old question?
• What should our attitude be towards others of opposing views?
• What 's the purpose of should our purpose be when entering into these discussions?

Proof is something like video evidence of someone committing the murder. It Or multiple eye witnesses of the murder. This proves the guilt of the suspect beyond the shadow of doubt 

...

If two people argue with each other regarding the right for someone to a seat on the bus, as an example, for from their argument they are both appealing to a moral standard. Each one of them tries to prove how his position is closer to that Moral Standard.

It can not be self-created, because for something to create itself, it must first exist before it exists, which is a logical falacyfallacy.

Science has proven that the universe is not Eternal. It has a start and an end.

Logically, then it must be created. Therefore God.

I was watching some parliamentary debates and I was thinking to myself, boy these guys are not even talking to each other. One asks a question, and then the opposing party responds to a completely different point. It's extremely frustrating listening to those people.

In an a discussion, we have to emphasise listening and empathy. 

...

Unfortunately, we live in an environment where name calling and labelling is much easier than honest to God Dialogue. If someone doesn't agree with us, it's so much easier to call him some name to completely dismiss their point of view. We see that around quiet a bit nowadays. How people are called homophobes when they disagree with the homosexual lifestyle, or they are called anti-vaxx when they have legitimate questions about the efficacy of the vaccines, or called terrorists, when they protest against the vaccine mandates etc.

...

This helps us avoid the "strawman argument" trap.

A strawman is a fallacious argument that distorts an opposing stance in order to make it easier to attack. Essentially, the person using the strawman pretends to attack their opponent’s stance, while in reality they are actually attacking a distorted version of that stance, which their opponent doesn’t necessarily support.

For example, if someone says “I think that we should give better study guides to students”, a person using a strawman might reply by saying “I think that your idea is bad, because we shouldn’t just give out easy A’s to everyone”.

Respect & Understanding

This follows from the point above. Without listening we can not have dialogue. Without Dialogue we can not truly respect and understand.

I'll tell you an example, when they decided to check vaccine passports in the church I was and still am strongly against it. I think it creates a segregation in the church which is anti-thesis to what the church stands for. God calls us to unity, not to keep a group out because of personal health choices.

We can be very highly educated and well read about the Existence of God, but knowledge by itself puffs up. The idea is not to show off how much we know, it is to care about the other person's spirituality and well being.

Devices not to u

Before we embark on examining the answer

I will not be going into a lot of details about the different evidence we have 

Can we prove beyond the shadow of doubt that God exists? Historic evidence (Case for Christ), Moral evidence (Mere Christianity)

Preconceived ideas and conclusions/Bias

Two sides to the argument

Incarnation

Evidence vs Proof

Mlpzaq (Answers, n.d.) states that the difference between evidence and proof is that the former infers and the latter concludes. A fact is observed and how it is inferred determines what it is evidencing. A proof is a “situation that removes all doubt” (Answers, n.d., ¶1). For example, red marking on a white collar is an observable fact. While it might be the residual blood spatter from a shaving mishap, a suspicious spouse might infer it as evidence of infidelity. Proof of the infidelity would require evidence that sexually inks the spouse with a third party, such as video or audio recordings.

This can include just smiling and saying, "I agree to disagree. But we can still stay friends".

Bringing it Together

Now we come full circle. We started off by saying that learning the evidence of God's Existence is important for two reasons:

1. To be convinced and secure in God's love
   1. Although arriving to the conclusion of God's existence alone is not enough to satisfy the point above. We have to go further and to truly know him and have a relationship with him. 

   2. 
      

      Tip
      icon false title James 2:19
      You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [h]dead?

      
      

2. To share the good news with others

We started off by understanding Evidence vs Proof. This helps in creating guidelines for what form the discussion will take.

However, in discussions people are not easily convinced because everyone comes with their own preconceived ideas and conclusions, so do we .

To counter act these perceived ideas we need to listen and understand the other side's point of view.

This will aid us with engaging in true Dialogue, and not simply just talk over each other.

True Dialogue leads to the formation of respectful and understanding relationship. This relationship helps us be at ease with each other and increases the chances of us really considering the other person's point of view, which in turn leads to increased chances of being convinced.

However, this relationship is easily ruined by always wanting to be right, which leads us to make the other side feel dumb and in significant.

By avoiding grand posturing and virtue signalling we can focus on the real goal which is loving the other person and wanting the best for them. As St. Paul said, "Knowledge puffs up but love edifies". Our goal is to seek the edification of ourselves and others. We should always seek to grow in Truth (IE Jesus) and to share this Truth (IE Jesus) with others in humility and meekness.
