GOD is real. Not in the nonsense that humans are taught to believe, but real as in a babies laugh, or a stars twinkle, solid stuff you form families with, and build communities with, that's GOD really in your midst. No light shows or wrathful destroying "enemies" or scare tactics - just a quiet respect for us, and help when asked type of real.
Oh, it just dawned on me - LOL - I can babble forever - I can't change who you are (your free will)! Ha, well, then I'll stop.
I, using my free will, feel GOD is real, and many do not. As GOD will not use force, I also will stop talking, and sorry I am to waste your time. Please do not hurt me (with words of disgust) as we disagree.
Peace and good night.

Oh, approximately 22 - while i became into in Vietnam in 1965. yet that is no longer each and all of the story. i began believing in God lower back approximately 2 a protracted time after that, after years of boozing/drugs and the occasional suicide attempt. Why? nicely, specially because of the fact those stories in Vietnam had had adequate time to provide up being only undesirable thoughts and had started out to truthfully coach me some thing. Like what? satisfied you asked. For one ingredient, i began out to work out how all people and each little thing are related, joined jointly in an super information superhighway of existence. i began out to comprehend that as quickly as you harm yet another, you harm your self to boot, and once you help somebody else, you're additionally helped. From there, it wasn't lots of a bounce to figuring that, considering the fact that we are all so related, then there could be some thing previous what i can understand with only my senses. So i'd advise which you be incredibly much less advantageous of only what "the reality" would be. What became into "actual" for me at 22 has became out to be very diverse from what"s actual for me now.

I was never taught to believe in God or live a religious life (thankfully), so I never thought about it at all until I was probably in my early teens. At that time I kind of started looking into the religion thing, I basically found that religions were arrogant, judgmental, and bigoted.. And that there was no solid proof to the existence of "God" just a bunch of smooth, and confusing control-attempts. God has always ranked with Santa and the Tooth Fairy for me.

Strange but this is how some polls are rigged cause people like me are not allowed to answer the question. So our opinions cannot count in your survey. I found out God was real at a very young age.

I began to doubt the Christian concept of God when I was in my late teens. I used to be a fundamentalist Christian. There were just too many things wrong with the whole idea.
One time I went out into a hurricane and stood there for hours begging the Christian God, asking him for some sign. eventually I got fed up and asked him to strike me down with lightening if he was real. Nothing happened. Keep in mind this was a category 5 hurricane in FLA. Regardless of whether any deity at all exists, it was foolish of me to be outside in that weather as I could have been killed.

There is something all atheists have in common, they were all as smart as they were gonna get at 8, 15, 17. There's not much to look forward to if you are an old atheists because you are not getting any smarter.

I think I was around 6 or 7, I was watching my mom fold laundry and I asked, "who made god?" She just said, "nobody knows".. from that point on I was skeptical, I really couldn't wrap my head around the concept that "god" was the single most important thing in life but nobody knows where he came from. By the time I started college I realized for sure, there is not a god.

I am sorry that you do not believe in God.
I hope that one day he finds you and you are able to accept him into your life. It is amazing the difference my life has been since I started going back to church and reading the bible and believing in his word.
And then if you are TRULY happy with the way you are living your life as a non-believer, then by all means continue and prosper.
