you can fool some of the ppl some of the time,
but not all of the people all of the time, or something...?

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Non-believer's case:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's case:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Once upon a time most people believed the earth was flat and that was the official position of the church.
What you fail to grasp is that people only believe in God. There is no evidence whatsoever to back God's existence.
So yes, most people can be wrong (stupid to think otherwise) and the best chance you have to get the truth is to look for facts.

Every people believe in some kind of god. Even atheists believe in themselves. But unfortunately there are not many who believe in the God Almighty.
Don`t let yourself fooled by the majority of people who are non-believers. Somebody said: **** must have a good taste. So many billions of flies cannot be mistaken.
So, if you`re looking for God, you should experience Him. Tell Him: God, if you exist, help me believe in you! He will answer.

Right and wrong cannot be proven in a situation like this, it is a matter of opinion. But proof is the big thing. Show me one piece of proof, just one. Nothing written down in someones elses words, no Bible verses, no secondhand accounts. Real, honest, hold it in my hand, see it with my own eyes. Court proof, beyond a reasonable doubt proof. Then I will consider changing my thoughts on what the truth is.

No one can be forced into belief in God or anything else. We who believe can present them with the information or they can read it in the bible, but each individual will choose what they believe. That is the function of free will. A person must freely accept that God exists and sent His Son to die for our sins. Forcing a person to accept this isn't Gods way. He stands at the door and knocks-each individual must decide to open the door and invite Him in or ignore Him. We can only pray for those who refuse to open the door.

True...but faith in God is not only demonstrated in numbers but in God himself. You can't base your faith on statistics or likelihood. Because God is very hard to prove with cold hard evidence; and if you go up against others with that argument then you will lose, because just like with the Israelites in the bible the odds are generally against your faith and what is right. That is how God proves that He is God despite "evidence" otherwise.

The problem there is that no one CAN know for sure. Many of us believe in various gods, or versions of a god, but believing does not make it so.
Keep in mind that for centuries everyone KNEW that the sun orbited the Earth.

Belief, or faith without the basis of evidence, is usually reserved for religious groups.
If you could objectively prove that a deity existed using physical evidence verifiable by scientific hypothesis and experiment, then I would accept that existence, but it would not require "faith" or "belief" in supernatural things that religion calls for.
It would be proven, like Evolution.

600 years ago, everyone thought the earth was flat. They turned out to be wrong. Apparently all of the population was wrong then. By the way, you misquoted. It's supposed to be: "you can PLEASE some of the people some of the time,
but not all of the people all of the time." -Machiavelli

Friend,
In Noah's time, most people were wrong. I believe in God... I don't have enough faith not to.
May God bless you.
