Christians are so very convinced that their belief is correct.
They believe Jesus died for our sins and one day He will indeed descend to earth to take every believer to heaven with Him.
They believe that the Bible is fully valid, but the Bible is not what makes them a believer; it is their faith.
Where do they get their faith from?
It is because they believe they have a relationship with God.
What makes them believe that they have a relationship with God?
They pray for help and they believe God answered them.
Funny thing is that it only takes one problem solved by a prayer to fully convince them that God is real.
In fact, prayers are identical to coincidences in that some problems are resolved and some not.
However, if prayer failed Christians claim that God has better plans or that the prayer was not what God approved off.
Funny isn't it that imagining that God answered a prayer is all it takes to delude a person to believe a made up story.

Please admit it that it is the prayers that make you Christians believe you have a relationship with God.
You believe He helped you and thus your faith.
You know yourselves, so ask yourselves what actually made you a believer, ofcourse the prayer that was answered!
That is why it is funny! It could have been a coincidence, pray or not your problem would have been resolved anyway!
Don't say it is not the prayer! It is the prayer that makes you imagine that God is there! No other reason!

It's your choice whether you believe or not. I know God has answered my prayers.
God Bless

Actually, a lot of people believe in God because a) it feels right; b) things have happened that have caused them to go towards the bible; c) because it fits in logically with their lives.
Nice stereotyping, Christphobe.
Now, here's a message for you: You believe Jesus did not die for our sins and one day He will not descend to earth to take every believer to heaven with Him.
You believe that the Bible isn't valid, but the lack of Bible is not what makes you a believer; it is your faith.
Where do you get your faith from?
It is because you believe there is no God.
What makes you believe that there is no God?
You don't pray for help and you don't believe God would answer you anyway. Funny thing is that it only takes one problem NOT solved by a prayer to fully convince you that God is not real.
In fact, prayers are identical to coincidences in that some problems are resolved and some not.
However, if prayer works you claim that God does not exist and all Christians are illogical for praying.
Funny isn't it that imagining that God did no answer a prayer is all it takes to delude a person to believe a made up story.

How in the world would you know that prayer was my reason or not? News flash---you're wrong. Did you ever read John 3:16? The 23rd. Psalm? These are just part of the reason I have faith in
God. Faith is kind of an intangible, it's kind of like trying to describe air. I have faith, love, thanks, praise to God. He is the author of all that is good and He is the only way to salvation. How much greater a thing can someone do for another than to give up their life for them? That is exactly what Jesus did for us--yourself included. By the way, God answers all prayer but that doesn't mean all prayer will be answered the way we would want them to be answered. Not all prayer is an asking for something prayer. Not all prayer is centered upon self or self desires. Many of our prayers say "Thank You" Many prayers are to offer praise. Please read the Bible. Please go to church. Please talk to a minister and find out the truth of the matter.

THere are a lot of things that you don't realize. Yes, I do believe in God, and that is almost entirely due to a series of answered prayers. But you make it sound like we believe because of prayers asking for something to happen, no, I prayed to ask if he was there, and he didn't speak to me, but he spoke to my heart.
I can see you reading this and saying what a delusional little girl, and you can go ahead and think that. There is more to believing in God than answered prayers.
There is also the desire to believe, the hope that there is someone who loves us that can help us with any of our problems.
People believe in God for many reasons. Ad you say that prayer deludes a person to believe in a made up story. How can you prove that it is made up. I am not saying I can prove that it is not by any means, but there is no way in heck you can prove that it was, I can guarantee I could shoot down any response you would give me if I asked you to prove that God does not exist (again, I am not saying I can prove he does, it would work the other way around too... if you were to ask me to prove that he does then I couldn't say anything you couldn't rebuke)
But you shouldn't call something made up when you can't prove that it is and when it is something so very close to so very many people

Is it that difficult to believe we have a creator not just a bang or we came from primordial goo? I think it takes more faith in the improbable, nay impossible, to believe some of the theories about how we came about.
Just take a look around you, witness a new life come into the world or remember that scientists believe that our eyes are just two freckles that happened to move to a distance so perfectly spaced that any further apart or closer together and we would not be able to see. Yes - our eyes were freckles! They justify it because freckles are light sensitive areas of skin. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard but people buy it because science says so.
Why would we have needed to "evolve" if we were the only thing around?
And yes I believe in Darwin's Theory of Adaptation!

I have a personal relationship with God that goes beyond prayer and only someone who has spoken with God and who has that relationship could possibly understand which is why you don't. I'm not here to save anybody just let you know you are wrong and shouldn't make assumptions about something so personal.

Man always want concrete proof to prove that something is real. Sometime thing has already proven is real, indeed some of us refused to believe is real. Sometime ago my good friend said this to me, "With mustard seed of faith is enough to move the mountain."
Faith require alot of risk taking..
Example: Putting our faith and believe in Jesus whom others said is a invisible God. After you put faith in God, you still have to face the music that mock us like idiot, which others think He don't exist.
Sigh.... but didn't Jesus gone through the same?
Why till now you yet succeed? Is because you don't even dare to take risk to trust Him.

It's "funny" how God will answer a prayer and then the person will begin to doubt and ascribe it to a "coincidence".
Some people will not believe no matter God does or what miracle He performs.

Heb 11:1 What is faith? You don't have it. Most people don 't know what the Bible has to say, they listen to thier leader in what ever faith they are, and then when they don't get any answers, they say there is no God. Eph 4:5 says there is only one. Are you just saying something to hear yourself talk? Go do youreally want to know? Ps 83:18

Your argument says we should rely on coincidence rather than the comfort of God. Thats the funny idea for God does exist.
