all the justifications for God being genuine are no longer "excuses", they are genuine motives. God is genuine, he's everywhere and in each little thing. the only reason you breathe is by using the fact God allows you to realize this. flow.... all the animals, human beings, bugs, flowers and trees.... all top occasion of the existence of God. Why would we could stay, if no longer for God? What could be the element in an in any different case pointless existence? It only does no longer make experience. all of us have a objective and we are all mandatory.

After reading your link, I think your question boils down whether there is a God. I am presuming, of course, that you are an atheist. Here is my answer to your first question.
I believe in God because of the hard evidence he exists. In the order, beauty, complexity, and harmony of nature and the universe, man's superior intelligence and moral conscience. Did all these happen by chance as evolutionists say? Not a chance!
Albert Einstein wrote in his book "The World As I See It" that the harmony of natural law "Reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
He went on to write, "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe--a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."
A very significant statement, wouldn't you say?
But one of the best proofs God exists is no other than Jesus Christ, the Word of God who became flesh and the REVEALER of God. God the Father sent Jesus not only to redeem man. He was also sent so that we have no excuse for disbelieving. What human can …
Silence a typhoon?
Walk on water?
Multiply a few loaves of bread and fish in order to feed a multitude of 5,000?
Bring dead people back to life?
Give sight to people born blind?
Change water into wine?
Rise from the dead?
These miracles demonstrate Christ's power over life and death and the forces of nature. Only a person empowered by God can have such powers. And if these miracles were just made up, Christianity would not have grown rapidly in the first century. His disciples would not have risked their lives for a bunch of lies. That is simply not human nature.
One thing and one thing only can explain it: These men had encountered the real, solid, bodily-resurrected Jesus Christ. Not a hallucination. Not mass hypnosis. Not looking in the wrong tomb or any other silly excuse. The flesh and blood risen Christ was seen and touched by more than 500 people. (1 Corinthians 15,6). That's why the resurrection story could not be silenced.
May the Lord's peace be with you!

Well either God is evil or the Bible is lying about that too...if he was good he wouldn't let children be abused and starving.
But from a strictly friendly view, atheists only attack when provoked. Nice that such "good Christians" are attacking us. I'm sure we wouldn't have gotten into this if they hadn't posted that rude comment to us.

Well even if they are the lies, which I am not sayiong either way.
I myself am not Christian but, I do look at the Bible as a good teacher for us to learn the proper way to behave.
The problem with religion when it is all taken to literally. So use the bible for the good it can be used for. So I would even ponder if you could call them lies at all.

One lie is more than sufficient to discredit the bible. Why belabor the point?

I do not belive that is a lie or the bible is full of lies if you look for contradictions you find them where they are not.

There are many but I believe the stories about the flood, virgin birth, resurrection and ascension to heaven stand out.
