Here are the most common things that god believers say
1. Life is empty without God(Empty? You mean your mind is empty of knowledge. God is your crutch)
2. What's keeping you from doing bad things?(If you need an invisible man to tell you that murder is wrong, you're a dangerous person)
3. God loves all of us(maybe you didn't receive enough love as a child so you imagine an invisible man is giving it to you)

1. I don't need an imaginary friend to tell me what's important and meaningful. I can discern that on my own.
2. My humanity.
3. Something that doesn't exist cannot love.
And I know... you weren't ACTUALLY asking, you were making a point... but I felt like responding anyway.

God and the Angels manefest themselves in reality.
Ever have a brush with death and for some strange reason it didn't happen. Like the bolder fell on the road moments after you passed that area.
You call it serendipity. I call it God sparing you for a reason, because it wasn't your time yet.
God may even direct atheists. One day that Atheist will do or not do something that is important to the order of things.
The idea behind God and Creation is that there is a purpose to it all, what, don't ask, at least not til end of times and even then don't expect to understand or appreciate it.
The idea behind randomism is sheer luck, that's why I use the gambling example so much, as Einstein did. The bolder hit your car because you were unlucky and it crushed you.

Follow this thought. How do we and every person around the globe know that this is wrong?
I believe in GOD now because of what he does in my life every day. My belief started with faith and now GOD is obvious. I gave up everything I had to Jesus and buried it at the foot of the cross and up from the ashes grew a huge garden that I can hardly keep up with. It is real hard for me to understand how anyone could not believe in the obvious, but I was an Atheist myself for over 20 years. I just can't seem to remember why.

1. I've seen empty lives with God.
2. Law and rules is not what makes people not do bad things.
3. Not applicable to belief.
While it is true that most blindly believe and don't really have a clue...do not assume everyone is so.
God exists...and is way beyond conception. The mind can't grasp it - it is outside the mind, not in the mind.

Our minds are finite. Our souls and spirits are eternal. Christians don't believe with our minds because our minds cant comprehend God or His ways any more than anyone else.
In faith, we chose to step out of the box (our finite minds) and believe with our spirit, which dwells in our hearts.The knowledge of God is in our heart, not in the mind of our brains.
The knowledge to do good or bad is in all of us whether we know God or not. God just makes us more aware of sin even to the tiniest one. Christians become more aware of the consequences of sin, because they are held even more accountable than un believers.
Who doesn't want to be loved, accepted and cherished? Why do people search for partners? Why do people crave for love and affection from parents? Does love not initiate kindness or good towards others? Who would take care of the orphans or the hungry, the old or the sick if love did not exist in this world? Where there is love there is God. And where there is God there is love.

There are so many other reasons to believe in god.
ARGUMENT FROM INCOMPLETE DEVASTATION
(1) A plane crashed killing 143 passengers and crew.
(2) But one child survived with only third-degree burns.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

. . . Heart, Mind and Soul.
1. There is no other crutch to rely upon
2. Since there is Good and Evil in the world . . . yes, it's GOD who gives us this insight.
3. Yes, GOD loves us all!

GOD is not a man, man is made by GOD - GOD is not made of man!
May GOD Bless You

it is all in the mind; people created god out of fear. the book of genisis was just a story told to simple early beings so they could understand the world. though there are just some things in life you can give no explanation except god

The belief in a personal god dictates that it be in all your head. That's the way people like it because they can make god into whatever they desire. Isn't that a convenient way of thought?

"Unbelief" is all in the opinionated material mind. Our
beliefs don't just come from a couple books. They come from 1000s of years of actual human experiences with
other forms of life, and realities.
