I not only believe in God, but I know for a fact that he exists.
But, here's a question for non-believers:
Why must atheists always attack certain stories in the Bible?
An example would be foolish atheists attacking the story of a man who was executed for the crime of gathering sticks on the sabbath.
Hello? The law of Moses was new. The Jews were just recently freed from Egypt as slaves by Moses, so the man who was killed was used as an example to take the word of God seriously.
He had to have been killed.
If he didn't, then what would stop other people from working on the sabbath or doing other sins?
Atheists also say stuff like, "Would you support a law like that now?"
Hello? We live in different times. The situation back then was completely different.
That man's execution was perfectly justified.
Do you agree?

Firstly what evidence do you have that nobody else has to say that you know for a fact that god exists.
Secondly.most atheists do not attack certain stories in the bible,we point out the inconsistencies and hypocrisies within it.
Thirdly.Do you really believe that the execution of a man for picking up sticks is justified?If so you are one sick puppy

Yes I am also a believer though I also beleive that if you read the Bible closely many things have been predicted and will continue being predicted as it states in Revelations when God comes the whole world will know with the technology now that is very possible bu back then it would make no sense right.

He could have just been sent to Egypt, Im sure they would have him and his kind. Other people had better ethics than the hebrews, if a divine God was working with them, it should have known or at least took some lessons from the greeks on how to behave. Its not the best ethics, but much better than the hebrews as displayed in the bible. And the type of ethics people desire the most, naturally, anyway. But sure you are correct, they were primitive people, with primitive laws and a primitive god. Not a divine one.

I agree with you, You speak with wisdom. Non- Christians always take things out of context. I have got to the point that I no longer argue with stupid people. If it is a serious question to get to know God I will answer, but if they are just out to mock God I refrain from the conversation, I figure this will save them from one more sin that they will be judged for.

why must religion attack other religions and those who are not religious. Isn't the key word "believe"? The question allows anyone the option to choose

Anything that the NT does not say, is history. We need not worry about it. I do not need to worry about how many wives Solomon had, when Jesus tells me to have 1.
