Well let me ask you this, do you believe love is real? It could be the love of a mother for a child or the love between two lovers. I bet your answer is yes but have you ever actually seen love before. No you haven't, but you know it is real. Or have you ever seen the wind before? Sure you have seen it cause the trees and objects to move but you have never actually seen the wind before, yet you believe it is real. So why not believe in the God who made all these things?

To sspghh, please don't be mad at God. He hates to stand by and watch all these bad things happen to us but he does care. He gave us all free will and many of us abuse that free will and do harm to others. He cares deeply for you and everyone else. We have to acknowledge him and ask him for help before he will. That's the way it has always been. Check out http://www.near-death.com/experiences/research21.html for more info on who God really is.

VERY NICELY STATED!
I agree 100%
Just because GOD is invisible to us ( Colossians 1:15) that does not mean he doesn't exist . The evidence all around us attests for the fact that he does EXIST!
Hebrews 11:1 NOW FAITH is the substance of things hoped for the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN.

No, I say I don't believe that God exists because there is no proof that God exists.
Sensory perception is not limited to vision. You can see, hear, feel, smell, and taste to perceive. I cannot see the wind, but I can feel it. It can be measured. Its effect upon other things, such as windmills, can be seen. Sensory perception is a neurological function, as is emotion. Love is an emotion, it comes from the brain, not the heart. Of this there is proof.
The wind's existence cannot be denied. There is proof of many things that we cannot see, if by seeing you mean with the naked eye. I cannot see a dust mite, but others have seen them using microscopes, and I could do so myself, therefore I believe that dust mites exist. I can't say the same about God.

I didn't say that's why I don't believe in God. Stop pretending to quote us.
I'm just wondering what you mean do we believe love is real? Real as in physical, something you can put in a box? No, and there's a word for that, "intangible". The wind, however, is physical, since it's air moving from one place to another. Love is truly the greatest thing. But it doesn't make me believe in God.

I don't believe in god, not because I can't see him, but that's just the way I feel. If god were real, where is he when innocent people die, and the terrible people get away?
And I also don't believe in love. I've seen the news, family members killing each other. Please, there is no love.
And as far as the wind, well, you can see the effects of winds. The damage it causes. What are the effects of god? And IF he does exsits, he's causing more harm than help or peace or w/e. Of course, I have nothing against religious people. On the contrary, I LOVE religious people. I love to learn about them. It's fun =]

Wrong
You obviously haven't spoken to any atheists recently, the whole "not believing in what i can't see" thing went out long ago. I've never seen air or Lincoln, but I know they exist(ed).
These things were not made by god, nice try. It's not a really good argument to tell someone who knows there is no god to just look around and see what he has made. Can you see how that's kinda weak? I mean the whole point is we know that he DIDN'T make those things.

I think you are giving atheists a bad wrap. They believe in love of a mother and child, as well as love between two peope and you can see the wind move the trees which is why you can believe in it.
Atheist just don't believe in the existance of a God. They can't perceive God because there isn't a God. They can't perceive Satan because there isn't a Satan.

Some people think that there is no evidence for love and it is just all about feelings deep inside. Those people are wrong. You get subtle little hints of love all the time and thats how you can tell. Looks in the eye, tender notes in the voice, little favors and kindnesses. All through the day when you are with somebody who loves you, you see and hear lots of little titbits of evidence, and they all add up. That is how you know :)

Love is an emotion, probably just like the wishful thinking belief in a personal 'savior' who loves you and watches your every move, reads your every thought and will save you from dying....
it's just that, hun, an emotional wishful thought for egotists.

One can feel love and the wind. If one cannot feel the presence of God, then one will choose to not believe Him.
I personally believe in anything that I can sense; be it see, smell, touch, feel, or hear. Since none of those apply to God, then you know what my answer is.

Ah, but I can perceive love and wind, for I can feel both. Can't say the same about God.
