This is an example of God believers view on the world
How did we get here? God must have did it
How did the sky get here? God must have did it
How did the earth get here? God must have did it
Why am I breathing? God must have did it
The difference between God believers and Atheists is God believers are looking for a comfortable, simple answer
Us Atheist will wait until we find an answer that's for sure the truth. We'll accept not knowing before we take any fairy tale and run with it

Religion is not to be debated. You either believe or you don't. I don't know the exact science of electricity but I use it everyday. I can't see air but I breathe it in everyday. At one time I was pretty close to being an atheist. I lived my life the way I wanted to live it. I fornicated. I didn't go to church. I went through life selfishly only thinking of myself. And you know what? I was miserable. I had done things my way and I was not happy. However, after becoming saved and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, my life turned in a totally different direction. I began to find joy in the simple things such as my health and strength, my family and simply being alive. I put and end to my fornicating and club hopping and dedicated my life to serving the Lord and helping others. While at one time I had been selfish I now found myself asking "What can I do to be a blessing to others?" I now teach Sunday School and mentor underprivaledged children. I now find myself giving, where before all I did was take. Since becoming a devout Christain the Lord has blessed me with beautiful wife, whom I love with all my heart, a great job, a home and a wonderful church family. Serving God has bought meaning into my life. God may not be real to you but he is sure real to me. If I should be wrong about God then so be it. I have a much better quality of life now then I have ever had before. Should I die today and you are right then I will have nothing to worry about. However, how about you? Can you say the same thing if I am right? This is the Cave Man signing out. Peace!

Two sided coin.
Atheists, Why do you claim the "not knowing" is evidence that God does not exist.
How did we get here, I dont know, bu I bet theres a theory
How did the sky get here? I dont know, but I bet theres a theroy
How did the earth get here? I dont know, but I bet theres a theory
Why am I breathing? I dont know, but I bet theres a theory
The diffrence between God believers and Atheists is Atheists are looking for scientific answers, to wich there are none 100% proven.
Us Christians will find an answer in faith that gives us truth. We will accept knowing before we take any theory and run with it.
My point is, Atheists say you cant prove it, so it must not be real. Christians say you cant disprove it so it must be real.
Your argument covers all of us.

Not knowing is not an evidence. But it gives equal possibility for both ways. Can an atheist answer these questions today? Don't take evolution theory and big bang theory or any such books as they are not more than a novel or a story for kids.
A life begins from invisible minute particle and it forms into such a wonderful being - lives in this world for 80 - 100 years and then ends into nothing????? And all these happens on its own? If your wisdom allows you to accept it it is better to be an atheist. Else you have no way other than thinking there is some talent behind it.

Einstein and God:
I believe in Spinoza's God, Who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.
... I have not found a better expression than 'religious' for the trust in the rational nature of reality that is, at least to a certain extent, accessible to human reason."
I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's pantheism, but admire even more his contributions to modern thought because he is the first philosopher to deal with the soul and the body as one, not two separate things.
The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
A man who is convinced of the truth of his religion is indeed never tolerant. At the least, he is to feel pity for the adherent of another religion but usually it does not stop there. The faithful adherent of a religion will try first of all to convince those that believe in another religion and usually he goes on to hatred if he is not successful. However, hatred then leads to persecution when the might of the majority is behind it.

y don't u think of it as we have the answer and u just live for no reason?
if u have no God then y do u live? wat's ur purpose in life? y r u here?
anyway, i can assure u that i'm certain there is a God, and there are many things that prove that...
have u ever read the Quran? if not, then try to read it cuz i'm sure after u do, u'll believe that there is a God..
when u read it, u'll see that wat's written in it cannot be written by a human being and it mentions things that scientists have only recently discovered (like that the moon was split millions of years ago and then put back together again)
if u were actually waiting to find the answer, then this is it...a chance to find it
....GOOD LUCK.....

Christian believes that the bible is God's word as spoken by the prophets. There is no proof in the bible about God's existence, it is assumed.
If you are an atheist, you believe there is no such thing as God as defined in the bible. That is your belief.
If you are really interested in understanding how Christians should behave when encounter nonbeliever, just do a word study in the Gospel of John searching for belief, believe, believer, and yes you, the non believer. Do the word study and you will have your answer (from a very good source).

Because people assume that simply because they aren't capable of understanding something, it must be caused by a higher power.
It's sad but true.
If you were to go back in time and show someone a television wthout explaining how they came to be, the person would probably be certain that it was a creation of either the God or the Devil.
God is the inexplicable.

How do you think evolution started? It was a theory that was thought up to explain with out a Creator. Which has since continually been proved wrong!
We believe in God knowing we can not comprehend him. He has given his word 3,500 years ago and his word has been proved accurate by science.
So the Bible is more of a well supported fact than evolution.

Why is it, when an Atheist has his or her back against the wall, or is terribly hurt, or is dying, they cry out to God? Never could figure that out either. Oh, by the way, it's not "God must have did it" It's GOD DID IT! No must have!Thank you very much!

First of all, it's "God must have DONE it." Use the verb form "done" with the auxiliary verb "have."
God believers don't claim to not know. We claim to trust in Someone who has given us enough evidence to make a valid intellectual decision, based on trust. We also know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, where we will go when we die.
Can you claim the same?
