It's not at all a pity . It means that we don't deny the elegant beauty of the universe by inventing some imaginary to friend who we pretend created it all. Christians are cheapening natural elegance by imagining there's a designer when there doesn't have to be.
Just because you don't understand how it all came to be (I'd really recommend some good science education - everything is marvelously explained) doesn't mean "God done it." In fact that answers nothing, is an incredibly childish and fulfilling cop-out, and it creates more problems - who created god? For something of infinite complexity to come about by random chance is extremely, incredibly unlikely. So you have the problem of infinite regress in addition to the lack of explanatory power.

Some people want more proof than others on the existence of God. It is a personal choice that a person has a right to make.
Personally I am a Christian. I believe that science is very useful, but cannot answer on things that cannot be proven or seen in the physical world. Also you have to remember that just because science cannot test something does not mean it is not true. (No offense to anyone, no bashing please)
Hope this helps!

you should respect other people beliefs if you want your religion to be respected. If you think about atheists, then why didn't you mention other religions, like Hindustan who believe in many gods, or Buddhists who doesn't believe in any god?
By the way...do YOU see divine presence...do you live by your beliefs? or its just like most Christians, that talk but don't act? There are many Christians who cant see divine presence either, I've met a few

Ok look. Christianity might be real. It might be false. Its a hypothesis that you believe in. I agree with your moralistic views but thats as far as it goes. I believe (and you should respect my belief because its the moral thing to do) that there is no heaven nor hell its Fear Bait. I am an agnostic. I believe there is a possibility of a higher power but that power is not ego centric. you have been brainwashed from birth my friend but its up to you to live that way. **** luck on wasting your short life away for nothing. the bible is not proof either. kids believe stories are real too till they gain alternate knowlege.

hi Solidus, i'm sorry which you're feeling distant from God. I went by a era awhile in the past the place I felt as far faraway from God as i've got ever been. i became into down each and all of the time. not something that I did felt friendly to me. I felt handed over, and misplaced. It became into almost a actual soreness, to boot as an emotional and non secular soreness. And what made it worse became into, while i attempted to chat to Him or all of us else approximately it, not something made me experience that close connection that I felt with Him while i became into basically commencing out, or a pair of spots in between while i somewhat felt the rigidity to seek for Him, and felt that he became into status on the top of it, waiting for me. All that i will declare is that it became into uncomplicated for me to sin for the time of that quantity of time. plenty greater uncomplicated. with the aid of fact I felt that there became into no impact for what I did. whether, there became into this at some point the place i attempted so not uncomplicated that I overcame it. i became into tempted, to confirm, yet i did not act. and that i think of that the advantages for that, now and sooner or later, would be super. in all probability plenty greater advantageous than while the preparation wheels have been on, and the non secular going became into uncomplicated. it may come as little convenience, yet i think of there is something to that.

The self righteous have claimed their own reward in the notoriety and importance that consumes them.
Assigning "divine presence" to one's self is like that commercial where the guy says " if you were the man, you wouldn't have to say so".

If by spiritual gifts, you mean tackiness and a tendency to be a control freak, then yeah, people might reject them.

I think it is a pity that religious people NEED to call on a devine presence to answer things that are difficult to learn or discover. It styfles education and knowledge.
