Why do you believe?
There isn't really any logical reason to believe in God. Some Christians might say various things such as the Bible or the fact that we are here. Personally I think the Bible is a big book o' fiction. And I think whoever wrote it, or "inspired" it meant for it to be read as fiction. Like a fable-esque guide to life. I can't bring myself to say theres absolutely no way that a higher being exists. In my opinion, saying that is just as ignorant as saying if you're not a practicing Christian, you're going to hell. Why do so many people jump to say, "Theres no way a God exists! Look at all the suffering we all have to go through!!!" Think about it.. would life be very satisfying all ups and no downs? Even though it gets awfully tough, I enjoy every damn second of my life. Every hardship makes me stronger in the end. And if there is a God, I think he realized when he created us that there are gonna be hard times in all of our lives. There's no way he could of prevented that, except by taking away our free will. Free will is what separates us from the animals. Our ability to make choices. Some people use that free will to do horrible horrible things and some use it to great, noble things. To conclude this lengthy paragraph, if God made our lives perfect, there would be no spice in our lives. And I don't know about you guys, but the spice is my favorite damn part. So if he's out there, cut the big guy a break, yeah? There's no reason to denounce the possibility of a higher being just because life isn't perfect.
Wow I doubt I really answered the question but oh well. God damn I could talk forever about religion and politics!
