If we have 3 people A, B and C, and 2 of them, A and B, have been told as children their multiplication tables without an explanation as to how they work. they're just given the table and expected to memorize it. There's a problem with this multiplication table tho, it states that 2x2=5. But since the children don't know how multiplication works, they use the multiplication table without giving a second thought as to whether it could be wrong. C comes along, who has actually learned how multiplication works, and tells them that 2x2=4, and can demonstrate why this is so over and over. B decides that, since he now knows how to multiply, he stops believing that 2x2=5. A takes what his teacher taught him as proof, and he is very rooted and grounded in "the truth".

Now, this story is NOT meant as a comparison of logic and belief, although it is a decent simplification of that as well. This story is meant to show that just because someone is very grounded in their beliefs, and believes it whole heartedly, it doesn't make them right. It also shows that someone can believe and then disbelieve, or "lose faith".

not that I quote myself because I like the look of my own typing, but I recently came across a page that had a similar example to this one.

Fun stuff!

God has given us a miracle, the " holy Spirit". It is given to those that believe. And is used in those that do not believe, ( ever ask why i did that for?) When a person goes through the change taking on qualities of God, becomes Christ-like, " born again", We grow like the herb we all seem to enjoy
everyday, with care and guidance. I thank God daily for everything good or bad, for who am I to say, it's not for my benefeit. I Love God, My Lord Jesus, and the holy Spirit.. I agree its all in the bible, I pray more people read it before just repeating what another man says, Trust God.

The reason we do this is because it's a logical challenge. We don't believe in God for whatever reason so we come up with these reasons so we can test our own belief that there is no God, just like you guys come up with reasons to convince people (and yourselves) there is a God. I mean anyone can believe what they want to but to me religion is like spreading an enormous hoax, and I don't like hoaxes so I think logically to figure out the truth. My thinking has led me to the belief that there is no God

yet u have 666 in ur name um ok

How so?

If we were to be honest, I think alot of people spend more time to
come up with ways on how they can not belive in god, then to those

of us who do belive, and know what the truth is.

this is not a statement to put anybody down, just somthing to roll
around in your Head.

If I'm honest I think someone around here spends too much time worrying about what other people might or might not believe
