I'm sorry that no one has given you a reason to believe in God, but in His eyes you have all the proof you'll ever need. Good has shown us he exists through creation itself and through the Bible. That should be all the proof you need.

An interesting take on the subject can be found in Piers Anthony's novel, On a Pale Horse.

It takes a certain type of individual to accept the word of the bible, and what ever attributes it takes, I don't have them. That isn't ever going to change.

Satan is the deceiver. He may get you to follow him with thoughts like this, but he really cares nothing for your soul or your happiness. Hell is going to such for anyone who ends up there because they will realize the full love of God and then never see his face again. Yeah, I'll take love thatnks.
Christ's love to you,

Why not?<----Reasons to believe---->Why?originally posted by croper
If there is a God, then I don't understand why He is prepared for so many of us to have no reason to believe. I genuinely have no reason to believe. I guess I'd like nothing more than to believe that when I die I go on to live forever in paradise (or whatever), but I've absolutely no reason to believe it to be the case.
there is of course the wee tiny problem being that you don't actually know either way because there are no ultimate truths in this world that back up either religion or atheism.Do you know why the "Bible toting Christians" never lay off and never stop talking about God even after they get laughed at, yelled at, pushed around, and called all sorts of bad names? It's because they know they are speaking truth.
What do the ultimate truths back up, then?because there are no ultimate truths in this world that back up either religion or atheism

So much for altruism. I wonder if Allah will note the hypocrisy.
