For all you non-believers....

[Eyeball1979]

I agree with Pauljb.. you don't need evidence, when you feel it and believe it - that's enough evidence, when the signs are there and guide your way, and you know inside that God is there helping you through, and giving you know what you know you need and are supposed to go through in life.

And right, people might kill the belief for other people.. like wars, and like people preaching it to you, or making you believe you will go to Hell, etc. I don't believe in Hell myself.. but you don't have to believe in all the crap to still believe in God. I don't go to church either like people might say I should.. but I still believe in God.

Btw.. i'm new here. So hi everyone.

I've never heard about anything like this... Could you give me a source showing me this?

I really can't, it was one of my islamic friends who was joking with me about that, and said it was in the Quran...sorry I have no evidence, you don't have to believe it.

Thanks for listening! :rasta:

Im not a believer im awaiting evidence that there is a god because im not gonna waste my time on believing in something that isnt even real but if god is real...power to him :rasta:

I can't say I understand why people believe in god because they "feel him deep down". There are hallucinogens around the world that can make you feel absolutely anything to no limit, there are people who spend their lives in mental institutions convinced that the voices in their heads are real, there are those who felt deeply and without any doubt, that their prayers to Zeus were being heard and he was with them. The human brain can convince you of anything, to no limit what-so-ever in how real it feels, but the aformentioned conditions are indeed all the result of mental processes. When people tell me "put all your faith in god and he will reveal himself to you", aren't they really saying to me "put all your faith in god until the part of your mind that questions finally goes silent"?

Well said, still, I suspect the religious response would be something along the lines of what Job went through, questioning and doubting, for example. But in the end wasn't it about faith in the outcome of all things that mattered, the whole greater than the sum sort of thing?
