Another point of view- if we empower sinful things , they become more powerful in our lives, growing. Just as now the world is very powerful. Satan was given rule to the earth according to my beliefs, and isn't it obvious. Destruction is taking place, hatred is every where. Therefore if you empower good it will grow. But the world is weighted heavily with evil.

Let me ask you this- if we had proof of God, then everyone would be [/B]afraid[B]. Would that not eliminate free choice in your mind? And if we do believe in God, as humans we believe ourselves to be complicated beings, would'nt we believe him to be superior to us? Would'nt that mean we simply would know he would desire our love and not demand it? There would be no reward in that for him, no? The world is the way it is because of our choices everyday, people run the world, not God.

I agree. This is another thought that I had. Lots of times I hear ppl say, "There must be a God because who created the Earth and the sun and the rest of the universe?" My take on this is can't the universe just exist? Does there have to be a beginning? And if there is a beginning, what makes you think it was created by a god...after all humans made up the existence of a god, so how could the world be created by something that never existed before we did?

How do you know that humans made up the existance of God? As for the universe I don't understand, that is as just as far unprovable as creation, is it not, but with no benifits. Not putting down your opinions in any manner, but I wonder why the subject always goes byastly against God. Possibly that evil is involved in that, enevitably in my view.

I just saved 15% of my time by skipping to the end to post. The Good News is... nobody is going to make you believe anything. I have wasted who knows how much time answering the skeptics who already know all the answers, and whom also rarely refer to any particular varifiable source to bolster their comments. The anti-Bible sentiment is rampant here. There are answers that are well reasoned for those who are seeking the only one true God. But, for those who aren't interested, why do you waste your time with all the worn-out rhetoric about the Bible? Is somebody trying to force you to believe it?

Dude, when you 'believers' get asked a question you cant answer, you say "god works in mysterious ways" or "who are we to question god?" or some such thing. Isn't that what youre accusing us 'skeptics' of? Faith is just believing in something that there is no evidence of.. in other words, a fairy tale.. i'll believe in unicorns before i believe in godAt the end of the day, i agree %100 with you, Stooj.. i think we should believe in something, but something infallable, something that isnt just make believe... or we'll spend our lives going nowhere, feeling empty.. i havent found that thing yet, but i will, and i know it wont be "God". peace guys

I agree with you, Ghost. 'God' is no more real than the tooth fairy. I'm not going to waste my life trying to appease someone or something that has never been there for me. No way.
As for what to believe in.. well, I already know what I believe in.
Myself.
I am the only person I can trust 100%. I am the only person who has looked out for me my whole life. I already know that I will always do my best to never let myself down. I believe in me.
