Don’t choose your beliefs (or lack thereof). Don’t force yourself to believe in Him/Her/Them and don’t force yourself to disbelieve, either. Take what comes and embrace it.
My personal opinion? I’m a man of science, and see no evidence for god. So I don’t believe.
Feel free to send me a shout anytime. I’ve written a lot on this site about this matter, and I have my own stories to share, so I can probably relate more than you’d think at first.
People can tell you why you should or shouldn’t believe until the cows come home. In the end, it comes down to you and what you feel.
I do believe in God, and I think believing in Him helps me know how to live better with myself, others and all of creation.
It can be hard to believe, I think, because of the way society is. Many, many people cannot reconcile suffering with a merciful or good God. I used to wonder where God was a lot. I was blinded to His work and presence in my life. But then I realised He’d been there all along, helping me in small and big ways. He is there - we just need to search for Him and to go beyond society’s limitations, prejudices and constraints.
As Khalil Gibran (poet and artist) once said: “Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.” Some things just can’t be proven or confined by science.
^ I’ve always felt it’s easier to believe. Interesting perspective, though. Different strokes, I guess.
That’s very interesting.
Thanks =) I suppose it varies from person to person. Some people may find belief easy, while others may find it hard. Societies and cultures seem to have a bit to do with that.
why you are counfused if you are in the At a point in the middle
You do not have to move to any point what were not you have a possible action WHERE YOU ARE NOT.
You are now your energy absorbed in the middle and the point where you are :)

I do agree with your statement, “People can tell you why you should or shouldn’t believe until the cows come home. In the end, it comes down to you and what you feel.”
Accurate.

It’s a sentiment close to my heart. Believing something because others force you to or say you should isn’t going to bring the greatest happiness or guidance. I think it’s best just to research things, know where your heart lies and go from there.
I was raised religious, so have never really lived as a non-believer. But until recently, I realised that I wasn’t really comprehending why I believed - I was just going through motions and professing belief because it was expected of me. For the first time, I researched my faith and sought to understand it. And that really helped me, not only in my relationships with myself and others, but also in my connection with God.
there is no evidence to prove he does Not Exsist, keep looking and when you stop he may be more transparent.
I am a firm believer that each person needs to decide for themselves but there is one thing that I always found interesting…
There are creatures and insects that mimic other things for protection. If they only have small brains, how do they do this so well? You and I can not change our colours/shape no matter how hard we try. How is it they can do this or even understand how to pull it off?
Just sounds like a “god like” intervention to me.
But like I said, it’s up to you. :)
I’m partial to the explanations like, “God exists because I saw a pretty butterfly.”
Hi,
Why don’t you just pray “Jesus, if you are real, convict my mind, body and soul, as I am searching for you. Open me to see you as you want me to see you and to receive you. Amen” Then just wait. You will see Him and know Him because He is faithful.
Be patient. He knows you are searching and He will not hide. It is not His plan to leave you void or empty. Searching is His way of putting you on the right path and so it shall be. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given. He WILL show Himself to you. He loves you, your foibles and all the things that make you special. The original stuff not the stuff built on. Seek Him as He is coming to show Himself faithful and you shall see and know Him.

But that has nothing to do with god , even if one could not
But of course we can change ourshape
100billion galaxys that we can see, each galaxy has 100billion stars and each star has its own planets in transit, someone out there knows the answer

If you are suggesting that is evolution… how did they know to evolve into those new colours/shapes in the first place???
If I wanted to evolve into a thinking, bright round ball…I could not.
Not even in a thousand years! lol
Okay, now this post is getting a little provocative… I’m unsubscribing. Shout me if you want me.

true a bright ball may be hard though it is possable to change apperance through thought alone, in patients with split personality recorded eye color and suptle feature change when the brain jumps from one personality to the other.
Sorry, but your question is really dumb. Its like youre trying too hard to believe in a God. You know religions exists because people love to sacrifice their intlectual freedom for emotional security.
Why do you feel obligated in believing in a god? It doesnt matter if you was raised like that, youre an adult, you can CHOOSE. In the end its just a matter of what you prefer: dont care about any of this (atheist), use or reason and recognize humans dont know aything and everything is possible (agnostic), or believe in something that you know deep inside is just a myth but will help you deal with the things human fear and dont understand.

Can I pray to the aliens as well? Pyramids prove they were here thousands of years ago, lots of people believe they exist and even saw them. Maybe Jesus and green aliens and friends.
Personally, I don’t think it’s that hard to believe in God. =)
Let’s assume for a second that God did exist. So what? Why does it matter? Does it make any difference? Would there be any impact on the world if God existed?
If God’s existence would cause an impact, see if it’s feasible that that impact is being made.
If God’s existence would not cause any impact at all, then why would it matter if God exists? ^^
Now, in Christianity, it is claimed that a person can have a personal relationship with God, and that will dramatically affect their life in positive ways. They will have love, joy, peace, etc. And they will have freedom from a bondage to evil and a renewal of their life.
People can easily put this claim to the test. I did, and it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Of course, if another religion was true, and Christianity was not, you’d have to perform other tests. However, Christianity is the only religion that makes sense to me. It tells people that there is nothing they can do to become right with God; all they need to do is trust in the sacrifice God has already made for all mankind through Jesus Christ’s death and him taking our place.
In other religions, the focus is on human efforts to get right with God, such as following certain rules or paths to enlightenment. But if it’s up to us to get right with God and we need to work to get closer to Him, rather than Him already giving us a way to get closer to Him, I figure we’re already doomed ^^
There are many other ways a person can become convinced of God’s existence, but I think this one is the easiest. I realized at some point in my life that I couldn’t trust in myself, so I cried out to God and over time drew closer to Him. There are loads of philosophical or theological arguments, but they didn’t help me much, so I went to experimenting.

I was not talking about evolution, but
But whats this means if we did not have the power
There are certainly other physical force, a force of nature
We just have been Drained strength from an extremely a small part of nature
Mono and two-bloc bloc
