I'M A BIG TEN! I know that the purpose of this life is to realize that all is one with God, and all has the potential of God once that is realized. Ive been working on this belief for over a year now and I've managed to manifest everything I've put my mind to so far thanks to my belief in myself as one with God.

I am a 10, because of a personal experience I had. 10 years ago, I was going through a severe depression over losing my first love. I got the strongest sense that I would find happiness in my love life, when I got the rest of my life together. Long story short, things worked out in such a way that I have no choice but to believe that God touched my life.

I would like to say 10, but I think that I am still growing with my believe so I guess I have to say taht my believe is 9 but my faith is 5,becaue it allowes me to think that I am at least half way there.
It is easyfor me to believe, but to put all your faith in Him...that is what I am working for.
He changed my heart. That was a big job, because I thought that I was fine. Now I am attempting to surrender all areas in my life to God...some days it is easier and some days I struggle.
I used to try to solve all the situations by myself. But now I leave it all to God. I pray for His wisdom. I pray that His will be done. Then I know that everything is going to work out in the end.

God as in the Catholic/Christian belief? 0, and contrary to your holy bible, I will not be going to Hell, or Heaven for that matter, because I don't believe in those two concepts either.
There is no proof that any events written in the bible ever occured and just like I can't convince believers, believers can not convince me.
I accept that there are people with faith and faith is not even a bad thing. Faith is believing in something that a normal rational person would not otherwise believe in. Faith actually is very helpful in getting people through life and giving them purpose. Is it healthy? Not always... especially for the ones that take it too far.
Both my parents and in-laws are religious people, so it's not like I grew up in an athiest family that I have these views. I don't believe in doing something good to eventually be rewarded at the end. I don't believe that a physical being is able to tell me how I should live in order to be allowed into Heaven. A book does not have all the answers.
A person should live a good, loving, moral, and rich (heart and mind) life because it's within them to live this life. It has to be a part of them and what they really believe. Do I believe that we only live 80 years and this is all? No, I believe there is purpose to our lives, that there is another realm that we will go to upon our completion here, but that life is not what any book right now tells us it will be. I am not a religious person, I am a spiritual person because I CHOOSE to be...
If your God (this statement covering all religions) is so righteous and all knowing, then why all the hate and animosity for the other religions? Why does almost every religion state that you will go to "Hell" for not believing their God? If your way is the right way, then isn't it inate in all of us to be able to live that life? Why do we have to fear to believe? Why do we have to bring negativity to others to prove your point?
If your religion is so just, then it should be able to be accepted based on it's own merits...
Like I said, I believe their is more to our lives than the now, but I will live this life to the best of my abilities and be the best person I can because that is me... and that is how I choose to live life. I'm not claiming to be a God loving person to ascend to Heaven upon death, but while I'm living, cheat, steal, kill, and claim to be loving...
I live my life the way I want to and you live yours the way you want to. If God helps you through your life, then great and more power to your faith. Don't sell me your religion and I won't sell you my views. In the end, one way or another, both of us will know what is next for us...
Final thought, if there were a Hell, I would imagine it's quite crowded about now with more sinners than Heaven bound people...

" 10 ". Faith does not come in sizes, nor wieghts. Faith comes to those of us who experience a greater love and understanding of a growing relationship with our creator. Remember when you were young, at home with Mom and Dad, how when you had a problem and went to your father for comfort and reassurance, and after talking with him for a few minutes you felt totally assured that things would turn out alright, because Daddy said so. As your relationship with your father grew, so did your faith in him grow. To the point now that you would trust your father with your life, because you totally believe in him. Once you have developed a relationship with God, you will have the utmost faith in him, at all times. I firmly believe that God has been at my side from the very first operation to the twentieth operation. There were a few times right after the operations that the Drs thought I would not make it through the night. After one of my operations I stopped breathing three times before they inserted a breathing tube down my throat for oxygen. I've had sores on my feet that you could see the bone, and was cured. I am sixty two years old and still going strong. God has a purpose for me in life, maybe it was to talk to people like you, who knows. No matter where I am, or going, God is on my mind and in my heart the whole time . I have total peace of mind knowing that if he called me home today, I would get to sit at his right hand. where I belong. You see, Jesus is my Brother, whatever he has, I inherit what he has inherited, eternal life. " The measure of what receive, will be in the measure of what you give." GOD BLESS YOU.

Definitely a 10! Knowing GOD personally in my life has made such a huge difference. HE's the sole CENTER of my life. -Philippians 4:13 :)

10, though if you read my posts you may question it. I believe completely in God and have my entire life.
That being said, I'm not a very good institutional Christian. Too many people want to define my beliefs by giving me theirs. There's always somebody looking for you to believe what they do so you can validate their faith.
I trust in my heart what I feel God telling me about himself, the world and myself. Like all Christians, I am very much a work in progress, but I believe in the forgiveness and love that God has given to us. I have Faith in him.

10000000000000000000000000000000000 lol
if I have to follow your rules a 10! Jesus is my best friend. He has saved my family so many times, and He has been there for me in my darkest hours.
But I love God the most because He is there with me everyday in the little things. He cheers me up, makes me laugh. It's when he is there when I'm baking cookies, reading the Bible in the rain, or riding a roller coaster. It's because I get to be with Him, now today. What makes me a big believer is that I know He's in love with me, and I'm in love with Him. It's being with the one you love all the time... that's why I believe. He is my best friend. Who doesn't believe in their best friend?

I rate as 10 being the highest, 10.
Why because he has done wonderful things in my life and in me as well. Without him I am nothing.
