in that it is concieted to think that we understand God? We think we know what he is is thinking and what he is doing and what he is, but really the only evidence we have is in a collection of books. I think we will never understand what started it all, and we shouldn't think we do.

I agree with you. I can't justify following a religion if I don't feel some kind of connection. Honestly yes I would feel better having the company/support from a church, but I'm, afraid the feelings would be false. I really lean toward the scientific side of everything.
I can't understand God, as a person/entity/supreme being, letting so much disasters events occur. Deaths / children in pain, the things that I can't ever see any justification coming from.
All I can do is live my life the best I know how. I will go to work as a nurse and save as many people and their loved ones lives as possible. I will raise my children to be kind and giving and hope that they also follow my path with helping others throughout their lives as well. If it isn't good enough to give myself this way then I don't know what else to do. In my heart I know I will find contentment and I will make my own heaven right here, right now.

I agree with you that we can never fully know God, but I disagree that the only evidence "we" have is in a collection of old books. I know more about God than I ever did before I was saved, back then all I did know was what the bible said. Now after salvation, I know Him so much more, I know how generous He is in providing, how merciful He is, how compassionate He is, how powerful and loving, well the list could go on forever, the English language can't describe Him.
If you only know Him by what is written in books, and I mean no offense, you should examine your claim to being a Christian, if that is what you do claim to be.

Considering none of us have ever met him and that all we have are ancient, dusty volumes that were collected and writen by stuffy old men, yes. I'd say it's concieted that they thought they knew anything about god. Same could be said about any religion today.

I agree in part with what you said. Of course we can never know what God is thinking, but without my faith I'd have never been able to endure all that life has thrown my way. But it would be plain arrogance to presume to know the mind of God.

I truly agree. How can we begin to understand God in our physical minds when He is spiritual. I think that is one major problem we physical humans have. Heaven is a spiritual place so for us to try to think how Heaven is going to be is just wasting brain cells. We have a physical mental idea according to the Bible but we cannot begin to phathom anything spiritual in our physcial mind

I totally agree with you. Not only do we know anything about God, it is also possible that God was created by a higher God. There may also be more than one God....who knows?

I don't agree with you. If I had to depend on evidence I'd be hurting. I depend on experience. If you experience God then you don't have to ask doubtful questions. You will know He is real.

Being wrong, a lot of people agree with you. Our confidence in Christ cuts you to the quick doesn't it?

I think it's conceited to automatically presume that God is a "HE".
