God should be trusted, regarding the reasons skeptics give for not believing. For example, assume God exists in your mind,(remember, creationism IS reasonable.) now all things in the Bible become possible, and God should be trusted when you do not understand something. Even regarding things in the Bible you don't like. The answer is to trust God. His perspective is huge, so how can we point our finger at God and judge?

Try being more understanding and trusting toward God. I think he deserves it.

eva - Your kidding right? There are not good reasons to believe in creationism? You might want to do a word study on the word reasonable.

Phil - Your reasons are things about God or the Bible that are not even true.

This kind of so-called 'question' disgusts me. I am disgusted by stupidity, willful ignorance and self delusion... which pretty much sums up the Abrahamic death cults of desert monotheism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).
It disgusts me to know that three-quarters of the population of the USA is infected with some sort of insidious mental virus that leads them to the insane certainty that the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' about fundamental aspects of existence and reality.
It disgusts me to know that so many people dwell in a delusional reality (per Genesis) in which a 6,000 year-old Earth is seperated from a 6,000 year-old Heaven by a solid 'firmament' structure (the sky).
I am disgusted by the fact that these people believe that they inhabit a magical universe, which they share with talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, a shepherd staff that turns into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people raised from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from a dust bunny and a rib, a magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush... and ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker.
In a sane world, anybody running around spouting ANY of that crap, would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass for the loony.
It disgusts me to know that in our society, irrational, deluded people who ACTUALLY BELIEVE such nonsense is TRUE are permitted to vote, hold public office, procreate, and shape the minds trusting, vulnerable children.
It disgusts me to know that these same people think that there is something wrong with those who DON'T believe all of this ridiculous crap.
Get a grip.

One of the largest issues with skeptics is does your God even exist. Now, would be rather silly to place your trust in something that you don't even believe exists, but is made up by man.
Why don't people like you trust the Goddess? That's the answer to everything, just trust the Goddess.
And, concerning that pointing finger... aren't you pointing, basing it on your mere opinion about these things?

I have no issues with God and the Bible.
The Bible is filled with fun stories, scary stories and poetry that is so beautiful, it can bring tears to my eyes. I love a good book and the good lessons in the Bible are good for everyone (don't steal, don't be jealous of your neighbor for his good lookin' wife, share, don't cheat on your spouse, etc.).
And I can't very well have issues with God because I don't believe there is such an entity. I have no enmity towards him... just like I don't have issues with Santa, Satan, or the Easter Bunny. They are all fictional characters that serve a purpose, be it to reward children for being good all year with gifts and/or candy or to scare believers into behaving.

Do non-believers ever step back and consider why they do not have faith - is it hard-heated people they have seen? Is it those who live little knowledge of the Bible or Christianity but still criticize it?
Is it because they know no one who is a believer - or other reasons that make them uncomfortable.
The greatest decison a person could ever make is for Christ - truly loving, giver of peace and wisdom and the only one worthy of trust and faith - who will never leave you when you believe in him.
The rebellion is the result of brokenness... lives broken by sin that we all share.
Jesus is the answer to purpose to our lives, and to eternal life.

First of all creationism IS NOT reasonable nor believable. Your answer is simply the same one used over and over again....blind faith. No matter how you cut it, it still makes no more sense.

Every path to God is the correct path. Anyone who disagrees is judging, and the bible says "Judgment is mine" thus sayeth the Lord

So basically, what you're saying is that, if we have problems with faith, we should just have faith. The assumptions you want us to make are the exact concepts we have problems with. Of course if you make such an assumption, everything falls into place. That doesn't make the assumption valid though.
