Has a thing about killing children, eh?

Belief in God for me started off with wanting to belive in him, and searching for him, untill he let himself be found by me, now its not really faith but a relationship, when I pray for instance I feel Holy Spirit, the nearest I can describe the feeling of Holy Spirit is the feeling you get in your body from taking somewhat illegal substances, except you dont get the nasty side effects.

Sometimes he even answers prayers, like when I hadnt seen my real Father for 28 years and I asked God, "wheres my dad, why cant I have a father like other people", the very next day at work, it was discovered he had a policy with the insurance company I had worked for for 1 year.

I believe in God because as much as some people want me to believe there is none, life proves otherwise. This doesn't automatically make me a glassy-eyed doormat. There are times I resist His call. Some would suggest this way of life [believing in God] is similar to a balancing act. Not true. God is always there. We have to do the part of letting ourselves be open to His will.

Now that I've typed all of that, I should probably put it into practice a little more often.

Yes I beleive in God. All of creation could not have just happend.

God's existance is logical.

Think of the universe as fiction and the author as God.

Let's say Lord of the Rings and friends, though that universe is fictional to us, it's very real to the characters within. So to that universe, Tolkein would be God.

God is on a higher plane of existance, therefore any manmade logic to try to disporve him is nill.

I believe in all gods, in a manner of speaking, since they do exist in the minds of men and hold such power over them.

God is a manafestation of the subconscious. It is a very powerful force in the lives of individuals.

No mere human could ever invent something as elegant as E = mc^2. It took one of the greatest scientific geniuses of all time to even discover it...

Was anyone seriously arguing that
a human made existence?

I don't think that anyone capable
of fully doing that, is human any longer.

What about making a consious decision to believe in God? I don't know, but I was raised to believe in God, and even though at this point I'm pretty sure the God I believe in is not my parent's God because I object to being a sheep, I am still a happier person believing in God.

Aside from which, why do we get a knotted up about whether people "believe" in something or not? Belief doesn't affect anything unless you change your action to follow it; it makes more sense to care about the ethical or moral code of conduct you believe in, without excusing or explaining it as something handed down from generation to generation by a Great Wise Man or Prophet of God.

As long as you act to be the best person you can, any kind and loving god will accept you; and any god who won't take the best I can do with what I have isn't one I want to spend eternity under the rule or in the company of.

Yes, because it pisses people off and I enjoy being an instigator .
