Most people who believe in a Creator are good, highly functional and rational people.

Why is there not more high level discussion in this section as to the reasons why they believe, by thoses that do not believe?

I'd be happy to engage in a serious, fact-based debate or discussion.

I am not a lucky person and only win at games of chances if the odds are stacked in my favor so i believe evrything good that happens to me is his doing. My question is.... Is asking questions about God and the bible considered questioning God? I only ask because i am told that you are not supposed to do that. I believe he has done a great deal for me and dont wish to incure his wraith.

Many conservatives insist that America has only freedom of relgion, but they also argue that atheism is a religion. If that's true, what's the difference between freedom of relgion and freedom from religion?

Out of all of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, God saved only Lot and his family.

What did God like so much about Lot? Well, the bible doesn't say. About the only thing that we know about him is that he offered his two virgin daughters to a crowd of angel rapers, saying:

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. Gen.19:8

(Lot was lying about the "virgin" part, just to make his daughters look more attractive to the lecherous mob. According to (Gen.19:14) both of his "virgin" daughters were married.)

And that he later allowed himself to get drunk and impregnate them. Gen.19:30-36

I used to believe in Santa. I loved him with all my heart. I tried to be good all year in fear I might get a lump of coal in my stocking. When I found out he was fake I resented my parents for a little while but I’m over it now. I think I’m much happier now that I found the truth. How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa Claus? Maybe you still believe… that’s ok too.

Who has made the sea and land?
Who holds it all in His hand?
Who makes His voice like thunder?
Who fills my heart with wonder?

Who breaks the swords of sorrow?
Who signs a storm with a rainbow?
Who sends the lightning on its way?
Who fills my heart with praise?

Who holds the heavens in His hand?
Who conquered death with a Lamb?
Who cleanses sin with his blood?
Who is the God of love?

1st a premise - Most scientists are athiest or agnostic. If you disagree, ignore this question.

Last night on the Science Channel, there was a documentary on the "discovery" of nanobes - extra small structures - maybe bacteria being observed in rock formations. These resemble those same structures found in the "mars meteorite" discovered in '96.

It was amazing to see the frantic state of these scientists (c'mon, admit it, most are athiest or agnostic) seeking to prove that this was a new life form. These people were so desperate that they accepted contaminated DNA as possible evidence.

All because - golly if these are life forms, and they kinda look like those seen in the alleged "Mars meteorite" then darn it, we can prove all those creationists and Christians wrong!

Same attitude with SETI. "Lets spend billions of dollars and over 20 years to disprove those darn Christians"

I thought athiests were supposed to be confident in what they believed.

I strongly believe in past lives and I know it sounds horrific but I believe that I was murdered. I believe this due to the dreams and fears that I have in my current life.

can these points be the reason

the prophet's unholy lifestyle

islamic terrorism

brutal treatment towards non muslims in islamic nations

very low status of women in islam

trying to convert the whole world by force to islam

death to those who leave islam or question it

muslims hating free speech and democracy

so in this age where free speech is common, can you blame people for attacking islam?

I just answered someone elses question similar to this and I was wondering how you might recognize God in your daily life.

For me:
He speaks to me with every breath I breathe, for He gives me life.

He speaks to me with the rise of every sun, and moon, for He is my day and my night.

He speaks to me when the flowers bloom and leaves fall, for He is my season's changed.

He speaks to me from the mountain tops and the valleys low, the rivers long and the oceans wide, He is my majesty.

He is the Almighty, who is and was and is to come. He is everywhere, from everlasting to everlasting. He simply is and He simply speaks, (In that "still small voice") we just need to be still and listen and know that He alone is God.
