Answer 2

I am an atheist because there's no good reason to believe in any God or religion. In fact, there are several reasons why atheists don't believe in gods:

First, there are way too many gods and religious traditions. It is difficult to credit one particular religion as being the one true way to God, since there have been so many invented throughout human history. None appears to be any more credible or reliable than any other. Why Christianity and not Islam? Why Judaism and not Hinduism? I have yet to see any objective evidence that would confirm the reliability of one particular religion over another.

Second, the supposed characteristics of God in the Christian religion are undoubtely very contradictory. It's not that they are lacking in labels and characteristics to attribute to their gods, it's just that so many of these characteristics contradict each other. To put it simply, not all of these characteristics can be true because one cancels out the other out or a combination of two (or more) leads to a logically impossible situation. Now, if this were an unusual situation, it might not be such a big problem. Humans are fallible, after all, and so we should expect people to get things wrong some times. A few bad definitions could thus be dismissed as another example of people having trouble getting a difficult concept exactly right. It probably wouldn't be a good reason to dismiss the subject entirely.

The reality, however, is that this is not an unusual situation. Particularly with Christianity, the religion which most atheists in the West have to contend with, contradictory characteristics and incoherent definitions are the rule. They are so common, in fact, that it's a real surprise when anything like a straightforward and coherent definition shows up. Even a "less bad" definition is a welcome change of pace, given how many really bad definitions or explanations there are.

Lastly, almost all religions require that you have some degree of faith, at the very least. The fact is that faith is not a source of knowledge and understanding. Anything can be justified by faith, so faith ultimately justifies nothing. Do we decide based on whose faith is the strongest, assuming we can measure that? No, the strength of a belief is irrelevant to its truth or falsehood. Do we decide based on whose faith has changed their lives the most? No, that's no indication of something being true. Do we decide based on how popular their belief is? No, the popularity of a belief has no bearing on whether it's true or not. Claims about faith can be used to justify and defend absolutely anything on an equal — and equally unreasonable — basis. Therefore, using faith to justify a claim contributes nothing to the debate and is completely usless.

Answer 3

I believe in God, and am a member of the Christian faith.

After several years of questioning and even rejecting any religious faith, I was challenged to do some studying on the Christian faith. I found the amount of historical evidence and logics for the faith to be very convincing. But it was watching the lifestyle of another committed Christians that "put me over". I made a decision then to start following that faith.

I have seen over fifty years of miracles, answered prayer, changed lives, and blessing that have sealed my faith in God.

Answer 4

I'm on the way to believing. I'm in a non-denominational church. And I want to believe because I want to feel the peace and love that others feel and I want to know that there is an order to this universe and that things happen for a reason.

Answer 5

There are areas of the bible that are contradictory to itself and so human beings p.c. to stay with the section with which they're extra delicate i think. i think of figuring out on and picking is important nevertheless. i think of the bible must be interpreted with the aid of thinking it with the aid of employing the formula thesis, antithesis and synthesis. putting it only the previous testomony is the thesis, the recent testomony is the antithesis and a theory like the Trinity could be the synthesis. it quite is a theory interior the full component recognising that there desires to be a stability between contradictory innovations.
