Nineteenth century philosopher William James does not advocate ignoring evidence, but he does suggest three conditions in which you should believe even though there is not sufficient proof: when it is a forced option, there is no other choice;when it is a vital option that will make a significant different to your life;and when it is a living rather than a theoretical option. Other philosophers note that there is sufficient evidence for God's existence in nature and in conscience, and that mystical perceptions are not the primary basis for belief in God.
