1) Why do you believe in God?
Because you are ignorant about science.
What you call spiritual is what scientists call psychological.
All your experiences with God happen in brain.
Universe is so complex, it can't just be by itself but a more complex God can be just by itself, right?
Illogical.
God is not the reason for your existence.
The universe is.
2) Why do you believe that God intervene in the universe?
Because you are a romantic or you look for a scapegoat.
We are the reasons for our successes or our failures.
Gravity is the reason for not falling into the sky.
The order of the organelles is the reason of being alive and so on.

3) Why do you believe in your Holy Book?
Because even if they are scientifically and logically wrong, you want to be a part of a group and you fear your imaginary eternal punishment.
World created in a week? Right.
Women should be suppressed and be covered? Right.
We should worship God like maniacs? Right.
Oh, all of those are metaphorical? Yeah right.

1# I believe coz He's the only trust worthy person always who never changes from what he's been. Coz He can reach out to you where you are, however you are, whenever.... He loves the way I am but loves me too much to let me the way i am... He wants me to grow in my relationship with Him.. The ideal friend and companion
2# Only the creator has the right to intervene. when man tries without his help, its gonna cause destruction. He not just intervenes, He protects, orders, keeps, watches over the universe coz when he created it He saw that everything he had created was good....
3# I believe coz its the only book which can speak both to the unbeliever, the believer, to the rich and the poor, to young and old, sits people from any background, rejoices and mourns, loves nd hates, the same them runs thru each page, is simple to a child, is so vast that even doctrate is done just on this simple small book. time has tested it, nations have tested it people have tested it... it still read widely... why???? coz the book is real... speaks very practical aspects...

the difference between Christianity and other religions is that Christianity is a relationship between Creator and created. Christianity teaches that there is one God who is a loving, wise, and compassionate God. In every other religion, the "god" is a harsh, demanding, remote being who would never deign to involve itself in the lives of its devoted worshipers.
But Christianity teaches something different: that the perfect, Almighty Creator cares for His children so incredibly much that he sent his only son, Jesus, to die a horrible torturous death on a roman cross for the sole purpose of having an eternal relationship with a sinful (the literal translation of sin means missing the mark) and deprived people. wow.
God created the universe. its His, and He has given us the choice on whether we will do what is right or if we will follow our own desires. He already knows what choices we will make, but it is up to us. if He dictated everything we did, it would not be true love. He does promise in the Bible that no matter what choices we make, or what we have done, He will always love us and He never leaves us for an instant.
i believe in the Bible because there is overwhelming evidence to support it. all the history is true, proven by archaeological finds and other records of that time. the evidence surrounding us in creation is likewise extremely conducive to the creation theory taught in the book of Genesis in the Bible. take for example the bombardier beetle. his defense mechanism is a tiny explosion inside him that sprays acid/stink/stuff on his enemy. for the chemical reaction inside him to work, all the parts had to be there at the same time. if one was missing, there would be no bombardier beetle because it would either have exploded itself or been eaten. and the Bible never contradicts itself. it was written over a huge time span and by several different writers, but they all agree with and support each other. you hear of many supposed "contradictions" in the Bible, but if the surrounding verses are read and the verse taken in the proper context, all accusations fall through.

God bless

I "believe" in the Tanakh and the Talmud because they have been proven to be the instructions for living together in this world as civilized human beings. It's a guide to life here on earth! It was the first time in history that all people were guaranteed certain rights, and the leaders were held accountable for their actions. It was the first time in history that we learned to reject humans as gods. It was the first time in history that people in power were held accountable for their treatment of others.
Suppose the ancient Egyptians were still in power. The Pharoah would be "god" and all of us would be working to prepare the pharoah place in the world-to-come. We would rest at the pharoah's leisure. We would be tortured and killed at the whim of the pharoah.

Islam is the description of the “spiritual state” or “spiritual condition” of a person. This definition is irrespective of time or place.
Islam means to “voluntarily submit ones will to the will of GOD”.
To “voluntarily submit oneself” means to believe in the one God, his Prophets and follow the commandments/laws they brought down for that time.
A "Muslim" is ONE who has voluntarily submitted his/herself to the Lord of Abraham (ALLAH).
All the Prophets from Adam to Noah, to Abraham , to Moses ,to Jesus , to Mohammed and all in between as well as their followers were "Muslim" and they practiced "Islam".
Moses and all his followers were of those who submitted themselves to the Lord of Abraham so they were in the spiritual condition of "Islam" as "Muslims".
For the followers of Moses to stay "Muslim" they would have had to follow the last Israelite Prophet (Messiah) – Jesus -- and obey the latest commands sent down by GOD.
For the followers of Jesus to stay "Muslim" they would have had to accept the final Abrahamic Prophet – Mohammed -- and obey the latest commands sent down by GOD.
The Lord of Abraham will decide who lived the life of a "Muslim" and only those who receive HIS mercy on the day of Judgement will enter into Paradise and be saved from the fire of Hell.
