for me, it is impossible not to believe in God, because he makes himself evident all throughout my life. I look at the beautiful mountains around mel, and I wounder how people could think this happened by chance. I see a leaf on a tree, and think about how complicated the process of making and maintaing a leaf is; the way the photosynthesis works, each phase doing omething different and essential to the life of the leaf, and the chlorophyll that absorbs the light from the sun and changes it into chemical energy so that the leaf can have food, and how the different pigments make it green, and then how the oclor itself is made; did you know that white light contains all the colors and when you see a green leaf, all colors are absorbed except that green. How could this have happened by chance, or by trial and error in the process of natural selection? do you know how complex cells are? all the mitochondria and the plasma membranes and the organelles and the lysosomes, all contiang something, or performing some process neccessary, but unable to be performed by any other organ of the cell. then there's DNA. the complicated process of transcription, and the types of RNA that carry the amino acides all over the cell. you can't tell me that all this was done by some explosive mud puddle, or a big bang, or just a chance happening; I refuse to believe that there was not some effort put into all this. I believe that God was the brain behind all this. and I feel that it is unfair to him that credit for all his creation is taken from him and given to-not someone else, but a chance happening, or a big bang.

Define "God". The most common definition is the God of Abraham from the Hebrew Bible, from which the three monotheistic faiths are derived. I think the stories of the Hebrew Bible are all myths, and that the God of Abraham is no more believable than Zeus.

This makes me an atheist in most people's eyes, but I'm not a pure atheist. I'm willing to consider the possibility that there might be some kind of supreme creator. I just think that Bible believers are stuck in a 3000 year old rut.

I believe in the God of the Holy Scriptures. There are many so called gods, but the God of the Bible completely changed my life when I believed in the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ - accepting the Gospel message - that he died on a cross for MY sins; and that He rose again from the dead. He saved me. I live a holy and righteous life now. I know that I have eternal life because God promised it, and God cannot lie. (See Gospel of John, chapter 5, verse 24)

Yes, but.........because I came to believe in God in my own way, over time, not because someone forced their beliefs upon me. So, if you believe in God and your friends don't, don't spend your time and effort trying to get them to believe !

Just be a good friend, and let them make their own discoveries and decisions.

I believe in the God of Jesus.

The New English Bible: The name Jehovah appears at Exodus 3:15; 6:3. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35. (But if this and other translations use “Jehovah” in several places, why not be consistent in using it at every place where the Tetragrammaton appears in the Hebrew text?)

Revised Standard Version: A footnote on Exodus 3:15 says: “The word LORD when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH.”

Today’s English Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 states: “THE LORD: . . . Where the Hebrew text has Yahweh, traditionally transliterated as Jehovah, this translation employs LORD with capital letters, following a usage which is widespread in English versions.”

King James Version: The name Jehovah is found at Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4. See also Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24.

American Standard Version: The name Jehovah is used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures in this translation, beginning with Genesis 2:4.

Douay Version: A footnote on Exodus 6:3 says: “My name Adonai. The name, which is in the Hebrew text, is that most proper name of God, which signifieth his eternal, self-existing being, (Exod. 3, 14,) which the Jews out of reverence never pronounce; but, instead of it, whenever it occurs in the Bible, they read Adonai, which signifies the Lord; and, therefore, they put the points or vowels, which belong to the name Adonai, to the four letters of that other ineffable name, Jod, He, Vau, He. Hence some moderns have framed the name of Jehovah, unknown to all the ancients, whether Jews or Christians; for the true pronunciation of the name, which is in the Hebrew text, by long disuse is now quite lost.” (It is interesting that The Catholic Encyclopedia [1913, Vol. VIII, p. 329] states: “Jehovah, the proper name of God in the Old Testament; hence the Jews called it the name by excellence, the great name, the only name.”)

The Holy Bible translated by Ronald A. Knox: The name Yahweh is found in footnotes at Exodus 3:14 and 6:3.

The New American Bible: A footnote on Exodus 3:14 favors the form “Yahweh,” but the name does not appear in the main text of the translation. In the Saint Joseph Edition, see also the appendix Bible Dictionary under “Lord” and “Yahweh.”

The Jerusalem Bible: The Tetragrammaton is translated Yahweh, starting with its first occurrence, at Genesis 2:4.

New World Translation: The name Jehovah is used in both the Hebrew and the Christian Greek Scriptures in this translation, appearing 7,210 times.

An American Translation: At Exodus 3:15 and 6:3 the name Yahweh is used, followed by “the LORD” in brackets.

The Bible in Living English, S. T. Byington: The name Jehovah is used throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.

The ‘Holy Scriptures’ translated by J. N. Darby: The name Jehovah appears throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, also in many footnotes on Christian Greek Scripture texts, beginning with Matthew 1:20.

The Emphatic Diaglott, Benjamin Wilson: The name Jehovah is found at Matthew 21:9 and in 17 other places in this translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures.

The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text—A New Translation, Jewish Publication Society of America, Max Margolis editor-in-chief: At Exodus 6:3 the Hebrew Tetragrammaton appears in the English text.

The Holy Bible translated by Robert Young: The name Jehovah is found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures in this literal translation.
