why do you find it so easy to accept the presence of a supernatural creator without the need for any credible evidence whatsoever.
and if anyone has credible evidence them please share it with us. the bible is not credible or evidence, sorry unacceptable.

i see you have no credible evidence, just blind faith.
faith is the acceptance of that for which there is no evidence. are you deluded?

so if you have faith, why not have faith in the FSM or anything for which there is np tangible evidence, otherwise you would be a hypocrite.

if someone accused you of murder, would you not demand to see the evidence, surely eternal salvation is far more important than that, how can you just rely on faith alone?

faith is an excuse for not having a proper answer.
faith cannot be used to support anything that claims to be a real.

you are talking about subjective abstract concepts that do not require evidence, they are not making claims to a supernatural creator.

if you read my question i do not mention anything about god not existing. i ask why you don't need evidence that he does exist. typical christian misreading and twisting the question to suit themselves. -.-

Once you accept God on faith and seek His face you begin to feel His presence. The Bible says that those who do not believe will not be able to see or understand. There is nothing I could say here in this short space that would make you understand. If you really are seeking answers and not just trying to bash others beliefs than you should read any book by Lee Strobel. He has a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School. As an award-winning journalist and strong atheist he set out to prove that Jesus was not the Son of God. Read about his research and his findings. It's at the library.

Faith brings you to the point of accepting the possibility.
Acceptance comes after the living God touches your heart and life. The evidence is in the millions of people over thousands of years who lives have been changed by the experience.
Regardless of what you want to believe, there is a living God, and Jesus is the only way to find a relationship with Him. If you want the evidence, you'll have to step beyond the boundaries and lines you have set and see for yourself.

out hand categorical rejection of ANY hypothesis, including the god hypothesis without a scientific proof to the contrary, is an arrogant act of intellectual bias and prejuduce. I am assuming you do NOT have a credible scientific proof god does NOT exist ? am I right ? then you are committing just such an act. Besides, as I am sure you know negative statements are unprovable in our logic system.
EDIT: simple, you are making a categorical statement he does NOT exist, I would like to see a credible scientific proof he does not, just because you demand one of christians proving he does exist.
EDIT2: I am not christian, so please do not assume you know anything about me. read on definition of *faith* therein lies answer to your question. Why address question exclusively to christians ? what about jews, hindus and moslems ?

We all have 'blind faith'. Have you ever flown on an airplane? Crazy concept there. Who held it up? Blind faith. When you put your key in the ignition of your car, don't you expect it to start? Why? Blind faith. We all believe in something. Otherwise the world would be a miserable place, filled with cynics who believed in absolutely nothing. Think about electricity. We know it works for both good and evil. But, we yet use it. Why? Blind faith. Cell phones...the newest one. We've heard of people dying, yet we still use ours on blind faith. (I use mine, as well.) Man was created to believe in something...to trust. We simply don't realize that we are doing it everyday.

I'm not sure that I understand how it is 'pride' to want clearer answers.
Why don't many religions want us to figure things out with evidence and logic? Why does it have to be blind trust? What is so wrong with using reason?
I guess it comes down to wanting something to be true so much that they accept conditions that I cannot.

There is.... EVIDENCE.... and ... .. have ... REFUSED... IT....!
GOD.... says HE... has revealed it to and have Rejected.... IT....!
(Romans 1:17-to-25) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
(Rom 1:18) For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(Rom 1:19) because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed it to them.
(Rom 1:20) For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse.
(Rom 1:21) Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(Rom 1:22) Professing to be wise, they became fools
(Rom 1:23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
(Rom 1:24) Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.
(Rom 1:25) For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Thanks, RR

Oh great... another circular question. You say faith isn't proof, they say they don't need proof 'cuz they have faith. It never ends.
Really, just ask yourself this:
Is their "faith without proof" hurting you, personally, in ANY way? If so, do something about it. If not, deal with it. Either way, this question isn't helping.
Now, make with the thumbs down!

You don't seem to understand "We" ARE the evidence. We are the witnesses of God.
I know God lives, because I've talked with Him. Personal revelation is real and anyone who seeks Him can know Him personally as well.
And despite your protests, the Bible is both credible and evidence. You just dont find it convincing. But the fact that it doesnt convince you doesnt keep it from being evidence. The Bible is a record of people who have seen and spoken with the risen Lord. If eye witness accounts arent credible evidence of something happening then I dont know what is.
But it doesnt matter because you can find out the truth for yourself. The Holy Spirit will teach the honest seeker of truth the truth of all things. I've received a witness from the Holy Spirit. I know for myself God is real and that Jesus rose from the dead. I know it and God knows that I know it and who am I to deny God?
You dont have to take my word for it though. Like I said, you can find out for yourself. That is the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God doesnt expect you to just blindly follow Him. He reveals Himself to those that seek Him and they follow Him with faith, trusting in His Path.
So are you willing to learn for yourself? Or will you reject my witness as well?

Life itself is a credible evidence, waking up every morning is a miracle itself and is credible, what else do you want??? But since you are an atheist you won't pick my answer or Christian answers that is telling you the "why" instead you will choose those answers who support your claim, you are so predictable.

I have no "credible" evidence that would make sense to you.
I have faith.
That's good enough for me.
I, personally, do not try to convert on here.
I defend my God.
Why should it matter to any of you if I choose to believe in God?
If you call me stupid, or whatever, that only shows you are the ones who have to resort to silly name calling. And, it happens a lot.
Say what you will.
Those on here who resort to name calling and insults: you are the ones who think you are superior?
Wow, that's mature.
