Belief and faith need to be used as tools -- as means to an end. Anyone can believe anything -- but a belief in God needs to be used to EXPERIENCE God (and not the experience that people say they get from the wonderful belief they have in Him). I'm talking about a direct experience -- enlightenment -- that goes beyond duality and where the person experiences God directly.
What makes me believe this is possible? For years, I thought that God didn't exist. I would pray and pray and receive NOTHING (nothing except ego words that I mistook for God's voice). Only when I completely let go one night didI have a GLIMPSE that blew me away (to say that we're never alone is an understatement). Subsequently, I pursued A Course in Miracles and Zen and had some slight glimpses again. But these words are NOTHING - only if you go after the experience for yourself is the deal. Otherwise, we're left with concepts of God that build and build and take on a life of their own - and we start to worship these beliefs and proofs of God and attributes we've assigned to god -- and we miss the whole point that we need to pursue the path directly.

At the moment I'm agnostic, but I would like to think that there is some sort of an afterlife- this feeling arising after my mother passed away. But as David Bowie says,( in a song I can't remember the name of of course) "Don't decieve with belief, knowledge comes with death's release." Until then I will continue to be a good person, by what I believe a good person to be. we'll see!

I am convinced that the Christian God exists.
This conviction arises out of a combination of intellectual & scientific evidence in addition to experiential evidence (prayers answered; peace; presence of God etc) and mystical experience.
I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ.
For a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html .
The link above describes the things that influenced me away from Atheism and towards Christ.
Also, for scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm .
Cordially,
John

its called faith - you just believe - no proof needed - You have to find " the want to believe " from within. Wants you cross that line and you believe than God begins to make Himself known to you.

because someone made man and man does not have babies out of his dick, and there is that thing called woman which coincides with man...duh
all that couldn't have accidentally happened, even if you wanna go with the big bang theory, there had to be something to initiate it. God is just a 3 letter word for something we cannot understand as humans and it makes it easier to have a simple name.

Because long ago I took a first step in faith and He came through for me.
Because when I call upon His name, He answers.
Because when I follow His Word, when I get it inside of me and let it be the way to go, I become blessed.
Because He is my guiding Light, and He amazes me with His Love for me every single day.
