No. I don't. AND I'm good people. Imagine that.
Amazing, isn't it?
No.... it's not amazing. What's REALLY amazing is that some people DO think it's amazing that an atheist could be a good person. "Whoa, that atheist isn't out scoring dope, hookers and stolen cars? Unbelievable!"
Get it through your heads, people... religion doesn't have a monopoly on humanity, compassion, virtue and morality.

Wow, I was talking with some friends from church recently about this. I also had this feeling deep inside, "what if God didnt exist?" We talked for hours, debating on facts. Our conclusion: Yes, God exists. I'll try to give you some insight on what we went over.
Ok, let's not get too complicated and just give an everyday example. Suppose you got home today, and there was this beautiful chocolate cake with icing and everything, on top of ur table. Now, we have 2 theories of where that cake came from:
1) There was an HEB truck this afternoon going by ur house, and all of a sudden, a car hit it at 70mph, and the truck rolled over violently. There were eggs, flour, all sorts of stuff in the truck, and they all got mixed up in the crash, and the truck caught on fire, and the extreme heat baked all that stuff, and as the truck continued to roll on the street, the stuff flew through ur window and miraculously landed on ur table.
2) Someone who knew how to bake a chocolate cake, went there and did it, and then put it on top of ur table for you.
Which one makes more sense? If you answered #2, good! Then God created the Earth and everything in it. If you prefer to believe in an absurd and very creative theory called "the big bang", in which somehow gases mixed up, just in the right proportion, and then everything exploded and the earth was formed ... my friend, you have a very creative mind. First of all, how were those gases there? Someone must have created it. God. Stuff doesn't just appear.
=D Doesn't that make sense? Ok, now, let's get a lil more complicated.
Scientists say that man evolved from monkeys or whatever their creative mind came up with. Well, it has been proven that over time, living beings only lose genetic material, constantly. Therefore, evolution cannot be possible. The human body is so complex, there is no way it just "evolved" from something. A project called GENOMA, just recently finished their research. Their task: make a complete mapping of the human DNA. Many countries joined forces to complete this project, each taking a body part, like arm, leg, or whatever, and finding out the DNA code for it. Germany was in charge of the human eye. At the end of the project, they said that the human eye was so complex, that there was NO WAY it could have evolved from some other animal. It's a fact. Scientists researched and wrote it down. Aren't they contradicting themselves now? Ok, I believe I made a point on this one. Mankind did not evolve. God made man in His image.
Ok, now back to the big bang stuff. The NASA has been measuring the distance from the Earth to the moon, and it's a fact that every year the moon gets further and further away from the Earth. Fact. It's been proven. It's also a mathematical equation. So, if we take that mathematical equation, and do it backwards, we come up with how long since the earth and the moon we're almost touching. The calculations say something about 10 thousand years. It can't be more than that, otherwise the moon would have been rolling around on the earth.
Also, it's possible to calculate the rate of aging of the Earth. Every year, scientists calculate the rate at which the Earth is aging. It's roughly the same. If we then backtrack how long since the Earth was relatively "new", the calculations vary from 10 to 12 thousand years. It's fact.
Also, the population of the Earth. Today, we have roughly 6.5 billion people alive. Populations, increase in a mathematical progression. In other words, there will always be more people alive today, than there are people dead. Fact. It's not possible to have more people dead than alive. Draw a sketch of a simple family tree, and you'll stumble upon the same conclusion. So, if we backtrack how long since the beggining of population, the results say somewhere between 10 to 12 thousand years.
Every fact that we can backtrace, falls upon the same range. 10 to 12 thousand years. In other words, the Earth is relatively new, not millions of years old as some scientists say.
So, why would scientists not agree with this? Why would they come up with these ridiculous theories about some big bang or whatever? The answer is simple. At the very moment that they agree that there is an all-powerful being, a God, that created everything we know, they realize all their sins. At the moment they realize their sins, they know that they'll have to eventually have a commitment and a close relationship with God. They don't want any commitments to anyone. So what's the easy way out? Make up some random theories that we evolved from monkeys and that the Earth just happens to have been created randomly by a Big Bang, that they themselves can't explain how it supposedly happened.
I sincerely hope this has opened your eyes to the truth. Thanks for reading this, and I really hope that you now accept the commitment that God wants you to have with Him. If you're already commited with God, then I hope this text has restrengthened your faith.
God Bless all of you, and have a great day.

I truly believe in God who has been revealed as Jesus Christ, that's the true God. Many people say that they believe in God. But what God, some people see their money as God so i have to make the distinction as to who God is. I hope that if you don't know who God is, I hope that you will do a great deal of soul searching. Jesus Christ died and rose again so that me and you can have access into heaven and that are sins would be washed away. When you die you will spend eternity in either heaven or hell. Don't worry about if other people believe in Jesus you believe in and worship, trust and serve him and he will save you and be to you the One and Only TRUE GOD! I suggest that yo read the Gospel of St. John

No, I don't believe in God...I guess I should just go shoot myself now, because I'll never become anything good in this life. Yes, all the people that I've assisted/tutored...they've known all along I'm a terrible person. Funny...they keep coming back for help.

Yes, I do, but I don't think that just because people believe in God they are good people. I know some really awesome atheists, and some terrible religious people.

Absolutely not . Hitler believed in god . sadam husein believes in god . jack the ripper probably believed in god get real!just because some one is naive and gullible and may be inertly good doesn't make your assertion true because I just disproved it in a heart beat . tons of good has come to society including the lifes of many through the moral and ethical works of atheists .maybe the phrase can be made correct as; some that beleive in god are a little bit good but still professing a lie. and what have you ever done to make me think you are so good?

No
Are you implying that I'm a "bad" person?
Some people who believe in god are good people, some aren't...same goes for non-believers, and probably in about the same ratios. Be careful where you go with this comment.

I am an Agnostic. It means i dont but i believe its possible. When it come to religion I think its man made. I think Religion can be postive and negative. I view religion as something that belongs in the middle ages and somethign that is holding back the human race. People who dont believe in God can still be good people. I promise you.
