... I have said before, objective evidence is not possible when it comes to validation of belief, and this fact in no way makes a belief claim "dishonest."
But objective evidence can
invalidate a belief. When somebody feeds the hungry, etc., you can see who is doing it. That's objective evidence. If you pretend that "God made him do it", that's ignoring the objective evidence. That's dishonest.

I have had several incidents where someone who never calls me called on a day that I needed something which they then provided, be it a ride, or a word of knowledge regarding a specific situation, or even money.
And how many incidents have you had when you needed one of those things and didn't get it?

This is not being dishonest. I have seen enough to convince me.
The easiest person to convince is yourself. Fooling yourself is as dishonest as fooling anybody else.
