Yes but they cant fathon the certainty that faith gives you.
Besides, proof is a much better way dont you find?


Doesn't really answer my question.

If you read the book, you could have your awnser, but your foolish pride wont allow you to read it, for fear of being wrong.


You assume 3 things. 1 that I haven't read the book. 2 that I am a fool. 3 that I am proud. And you're the one chastising others for name calling...

People believe in god cause many people need a religious figure to look up to in times of crisis. Other people (normally the deeply religious ones) do have a problem I mean these are the people who will follow the bible to the letter or as most people will no In Islam lots of men use the Koran to enslave woman and try to kill a lot of people tho these people are probably about 2% of the Islamic community.

Are you saying I m wrong? I belive 100% that there is logic, like proof still there from the Bible, but it's just not enough to convince some people, thats where faith has to come in.its like 1% inspiration and 99% persperation
except 1% logic 99% faith so I admit we are both right


Show me any empirical evidence indicating the existence of God, and I'll convert right now.

Also, 99% persperation? You shoudl try deoderant.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis explains Gods existance logicaly.... It opened my eyes, perhaps it could have an effect on you as well....


I've read it. It was a joke. To turn the tables - have you read any recent atheist literature?

Besides, proof is a much better way dont you find?


I agree. Which is why religion is a fallacy.

except 1% logic 99% faith so I admit we are both right


The belief that the bible (and other holy texts) is an accurate source of testimony and evidence is unsupported.

So because events seem extraordinary they become miracles conducted by God? They're so many things happening around the world, some are bound to happen that seem extraordinary or unexplainable, but that's not a reason to just chalk it up to religion and miracles. I find no proof in events like this, because its only called a miracle because people find no other explanation, just like with religion. It doesn't mean there isn't one, it just means that with our limited searching we don't find it

but a greater majority of those people are Muslims, they aren't getting that good of luck (if you count suicides and women enslaved then there life is good) I know it's hard not to take offensive but I really mean no offence
