I used to be like you, constantly trying to disprove God's existence and never understanding that belief in God is not a matter of science but is a matter of faith. Either you believe or you don't. It's up to you to believe. I've decided to believe. For me, Yahweh/ Jehovah is real.

Firstly, I'm not trying to "Disprove gods" existence, I just see no compelling reason to believe in one when there is absolutely not one spec of evidence to support the claim of one. I tend to hold the belief that believing in something based off of nothing isn't the smartest thing to do. Now of course you'll have the opposing argument, such as"God is not a matter of science it is a matter of faith" but do you even understand what faith is? It is believing in something without proof, without evidence, and without good reason.
Now you might be willing to do that, but I am not nor will I ever be, because not only do I think it is irrational to do so, I hold that belief it is absolutely absurd to do so. Just because you WISH and WANT something to be true, doesn't mean it is true, nor does it give you a good reason to believe in it. Because you have no reason to believe in something, there is no reason why you should believe, it really is that simple. The point of this topic wasn't to DISPROVE god, the point was that because of there being no reason to believe in god (because it is a claim that is not supported with any sort of revidence) it can be dismissed equally without it.
This is why it is not up to science or anybody to disprove god in the first place, it is up to the person making the claim.If you're not trying to disprove God's existence, then why did you make this thread? If you think belief in God is so stupid, then why are you concerned with it? Why not just let us foolish people of faith be? As for evidence, the evidence for God is not empirical but spiritual; it's something that people of faith feel in their being. It's not something that can be proven or disproven by physical observations. As I said, it's a matter of faith.
26 ForYOUbehold his calling ofYOU, brothers, that not many wise in a fleshly way were called, not many powerful, not many of noble birth;
27but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put the wise men to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put the strong things to shame;
28 and God chose the ignoble things of the world and the things looked down upon, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are,
29in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God.
30But it is due to him thatYOUare in union with Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God, also righteousness and sanctification and release by ransom;
31that it may be just as it is written: He that boasts, let him boast in Jehovah.1 Corinthians 1
I'm going to have disagree with your definition of faith as it is certainly not biblical. The Christian definition of faith is not some blind leap. Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15,
Now I would remind you, brothers,of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
Christianity is based on historical fact. God really did enter time in the person of the Son. He lived for 33-34 years. He died. He rose again. The writers themselves claim that if what they believe didn't happen they are fools. Their belief is clearly not some blind leap off a cliff.
