I look at stupid tourists who climb to the top of the Flatirons but can't climb down, and I see malevolent design.

Sometimes I don't know why I believe in a God that i cannot see or feel or anything concrete like that. But then I think about all the struggles in my life and how many bad things have happened. I don't think my family and I could have ever gotten through all of that without some help from above. I also believe in God because I see all the good in people, despite all of the **** in the world. Even if God didn't exist, the mere concept of a God is enough to affect people and make them decide to be good people.

First off, I believe that everything, in any form of existance, whether on another dimension, or another time, is all made of a connected energy. This is what I see as God, all of this energy combined. To get closer to the fact that we are all connected, to each other, to the earth, to the universe, the better we feel. This is why religious people feel better when they get "close to God" while they see a conscious entity, it is obvious that a supreme conscious being has no part of this world. This is why you feel better when you pray or meditate, you are drawing yourself into the energy, and in a way escaping your physical body. Once we realize we are really hurting ourselves and each other with even the most negative thing, we wont want to do it anymore. Not because a God told us, but because we realize that these temporary highs mean nothing in an eternity of infinity.

Because, when it comes down to it, the first atom or whatever, the idea or divine spark was initiated by some higher power.
Although, God has been watered down and altered through religion, when you think about it, all of creation is such a miracle, nature works together so well, it all comes together and therefore, some higher intelligence or energy must be behind all things. The universe is not just some random, scientific accident.

Because I believe that the Universe is endless. If this is possible, than God must exist outside of time and space, and outside of 'endless', because something that has no end couldn't just develop into endlessness, nor could it just become out of nothing. Even if it would be proved that the Universe is final, I would have to believe that there is something outside of it, and - again - outside of time and space. In variation no. 1, God, for me, would exist in different dimensions than the Universe; in var. 2, it would be beyond Universe. Either way, it really seems logical (to me).

I believe in God b/c the Bible says that God loves me so much that He gave his only Son (Jesus) life so I might live. He bleed and died on Mt. Calvary, and He rose in three days just like he said he would. There's a saying that goes like this--"if you met me and forgot me than you've lost nothing, but if you don't know Jesus than you've lost everything"-- Well his love for me has made me remember him and keep my faith in God 24/7. I go to bed believing and wake up believing. That's why I believe.

Every effect has a cause
The universe didn't used to exist.
It exists now
Something caused it to exist.
The causeing agent had to be more powerfull that all the energy in the universe.
We call that God.
When God becomes an active part of your life you need no further proof.

I had been Agnostic for about 10 years before finally finding Allah and the Islamic faith.
It basically comes from the fact that as an Agnostic, I just didn't know which faith to follow, and as I started reading more and more into Islam, it made more and more sense to me.
