Theists' explanation for the Presence of God, in Less than 20 Words

There is no God, only Zuul.
No. My reasoning for belief, will not influence your beliefs. Experience is not something that can be shared with others.

Because the idea of God fits with the universe better than "a bunch of accidents."

Was God an accident? Where did God come from?
I'm not a theist, but it seems to me limiting an argument for such a complicated and nuanced topic as theology is to both invite poor reasoning and a boxing match with one hand tied behind the responder's back.
It turns a potentially discussion-inducing question into a competition about who can be the most glib.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Research virtual particles. After you're done, where do the virtual particles come from?
When you turn on a generator, where do the electrons come from?
Where did the big bang come from?

What? I. am. serious. How did you come to that conclusion?
From when I was a theist.
I was told God existed and I had experiences that supported the existence of the God I was told about.
Well had trouble getting it down to 20. Don't think I could do it in less.
I am not providing a proof.
e^(pi*i) + 1 = 0
That's Leonhard Euler's proof of God's existence.
That's twenty.
e^(pi*i) + 1 = 0
That's Leonhard Euler's proof of God's existence.
That's twenty.
Nothing comes from nothing. For every effect there has to be a cause.
Complexity and purpose require intelligence and planning.

Funny that it is only those who want to include their god who make the claim of "accidents".

All you are doing is replacing the most honest of answers (I Don't Know) with GodDidIt.
Strikeout! Three responses, no answers.
What is it that makes you refuse to answer any questions, while insisting that everybody else does?
Why less than 20 words?
Is it to allow for a compelling answer to be retweeted to the world?
I was bemused by the rationale on that. We have an entire website devoted to discussion on the topic, and think we can get compelling answers in 20 words?
Yikes.

I didn't have a choice. I had a vision and woke up in bed late at night and I knew absolutely, positively, without any doubt that God exists.
Before the vision I told people I was an atheist and I argued with people using all the same arguments atheists make but, really, I think deep down I did believe in God, I just didn't like Him.
Knowing God exists didn't answer all the other questions I had so I went looking. After many years I found the answers and I realized that people mostly believe what they WANT to believe regardless of the evidence.

All you are doing is dismissing science fact and logic for "I know you are but what am I?"
