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?

You don't need to believe that God exists. It's just something that gives people hope and significance. It's part of the human condition to search for a higher power. Religion has been around since man. Personally I believe in a higher power, not necessarily the God portrayed in the Bible. I believe in my own way. I don't conform to how other people choose to find faith. I don't go to church or consider the Bible legitimate. However, if someone can find peace or happiness in the belief in God, good for them. Atheists have a pretty hard time when people die, believing in something greater doesn't hurt. It's natural and beneficial, but a choice.

I think that it takes a whole lot more faith to believe all of this just happened by accident than believing that God created it all. God spoke the world into existence and to believe that there is no God means that, I do not want this to come over rude but it will to some of you, you are either stubborn and do not want to listen or you just have not really looked around and seen how complicated all of nature is.

Okay,I am not going to judge you on your beliefs but I do have a few Q's regarding God:
Heck,I'll give you 3(actually 2)
-If you don't think God exists,then how did the world get started?
-If you don't think God exists then how do you explain nature & all of its beautiful animals?
-If you don't believe that God exists than..what do you believe?
Now,you can have your beliefs and all but I believe that there are many Gods for different religions but there is only ONE God for me.
And I'm not judging you & I'm not saying you're a bad person.
So believe what you will.I believe what I believe & you believe your own beliefs.

Maybe you shouldn't believe that god exists. However, for the sake of saving your skin, avoiding being disinherited from your family, and keeping the Bible-thumpers and religious zealots from harassing you, it might be a good idea to not publicize your beliefs.

i think you would be happier believing in Something behind it all. i consider myself to be agnostic mystic. what is called God i consider to be the Divine Mystery ,unknown and unknowable ,behind it all. i don't have a clue as to how the Mystery works or what if anything IT wants. but i can stand in awe of the impossibility of being and surrender and have mystical experiences that are priceless./ consider reading stuff by Eckhart Tolle. a modern day spiritual teacher of no particular path. he's fantastic, in my opinion

You don't have to believe in God for Him to exist, He does with or without you. It would be a shame for you to hear the Truth and to walk away from it, though.

If someone gives you a sufficient cash offer, believe. Remember, they get an immediate cut back because you're one of the faithful.

There is no should or shouldn't. If you desire to believe in God you will, if you don't then you won't. Also, I am not going to give you any reasons to believe, because each individual has his own reasons. I believe in Him, simply because He is my spiritual Father...
