When I believed in god I used a lot of the rediculous logic I've heard people use, but more often I'd just say "well such and such is so complex in this universe, it must be designed". But after a while I realized that I had to critically examine all the evidence, otherwise I'm just believing what's nicest to believe. I spent hours upon hours, days upon days, examing every argument I could find for the existence of god. And I can honestly say that no matter how hard I searched, no matter how many sites and books claimed to have "proof of god", I could also see some glaring leap in logic. I hate to break it to you, but most atheists aren't there because they just haven't given it much thought. On the contrary, the minority population of atheists exists because we were some of the few who had to question everything in depth and with logic and reason, and never believe simply because we wanted to, and never accepte an argument just because it reafirmed what we wanted to hear. And now I can honestly say after 2 years of trying desperately to find some logical evidence, that it's a lot of ancient mythology and nothing more.
Every time you come across a Chirch teaching and it doesn't make sence it's time to move on to a differnt Chirch. Bible truths are differnt than what some preacher is teaching.

You have to find a religion that Follows the bible to the letter and not picking, chooseing and confusing.

If you simply follow what the bible says and read it and not what some bozo has said to make himself money. You will find the Truth. Even simple things like the Cross that many people have made an idol, they are FALSE. That is a False pratice. Just like all the holladays. All are based on False teachings, Not the Bible. The trinity where God and Jesus and the Holy Goast are one thing, is False teaching not suported by the Bible.

Seeking God means Following the Bible and not what people have made up. Finding people who apply Bible Truths and follow it to the letter. Like War, anyone who suports War is not teaching Bible Truths. Then you say what about war in the bible? You'll find that the wars in the Bible where setting up Jesus Blood line and we are to be praticeing War no more After Jesus Death. After Jesus died we have a New covenet. Now we have a chance to learn about his father Jehovah (yhwh) throu Jesus life and can recive the everlasting life that Adam and eve lost so long ago. But we have to apply what Jesus did and his teachings. We have to learn about his Father and teach others about his Father.

Just because satan's system has crupted most of the world today doesn't mean to just give up. Most religions are not following the Bible and/or they Twist things like the cross into an idol. GET out of these False Religions. Seek people who pratice what the Bible Teaches. This crupt world is spinning into distruction, don't be part of that.
