Can any of you Christians or religious folks tell me how you make yourself believe in god?
It is one thing to believe in the possibility that there could be a god. But when you already understand that you don't know if there is or isn't a god, the only belief you have about god is there could be one.
Reading the bible certainly doesn't help change that belief.
When a person knows for fact they don't know if there is or isn't a god existing then they know this because they know god is a belief and so is life happening on its own is a belief. So what is left but the knowing for fact they don't know if there is or isn't a god existing
your thoughts Thanks

An honest and open minded reading of Hindu scriptures will clear all doubts which intelligent atheists of west generally have.
I don't make myself believe in God. I believe the possibility of God existing is true by examining the spiritual evidence given to me. Once I accept God existing as true my belief was able to grow and become faith. If you were to ask me is God existing a fact I would answer you my faith, which stems from my belief, is deep enough that it is a fact to me and I would defend it as such. Like a scientist after writing their thesis, it is a fact and I will try to convince others when questions are asked.
God makes His presence known to everyone in His own time. Whoever responds to Him (Matthew 7:7-8), are the ones who believe in Him. Those who have faith (Hebrews 11:6) are those whom God rewards. A seeking God and a seeking person are always sure to find each other.
And yes, reading the Bible DOES help change one's belief. The Bible is the perfect discourse for all believers, the source guide in which one can pursue right living, and is the best reference for learning about God and discovering who Jesus Christ is and how He influences our lives.
I am 100% sure God exists. We're not brainwashed. It's our choice. Being a Christian is great. We get to enjoy life, just like anyone else and when we die, we get to spend eternity in heaven. You can't make someone believe in God. It's your choice, not anyone else's. The great thing about being a Christian is that when everyone is against you, you know that one is fighting for you, always, not matter what. Sure, atheists can talk crap about Christianity. Before atheists start criticizing and mocking Christians, why don't they learn what we believe, not what you think we believe. Jesus is all we need. God is my shoulder to cry on, my strength and my best friend. BTW, the answer which says "I don't know how you can be so stupid", don't say that. They have their beliefs, we have ours. Yes, we should try to help them, but we can't force them. What will they think of us when you say that they are stupid? God bless you and good luck. :)
' When a person knows for fact they don't know if there is or isn't a god existing ... ' in MY case, i KNOW God exists ... there is NO DOUBT about this.
how do i KNOW this ? instinct
' make yourself believe in god? ' therefore, i don't MAKE myself believe. I believe 100% in the existence of God. i used to be a buddhist but buddhist teachings just don't make any sense to me. today, i am a christian and have been one for almost 30 years.
when i read scripture, everything makes sense. Amen. also, as a woman, God sees both male / female as equals. God judges both male / female using ONE standard ... no double standards like a man can sin but a woman cannot. No such rubbish ...
all the other religions are rubbish. they teach man to treat woman as second class.
