You ever sit and try to rationalize that there is no God?

Academia states that in the absence of proof of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable proof is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god!!! He took the Jewish religion and basing it on the Mithras religion, organized it into Christianity and then into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!

Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?

What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Jewish enemies by turning them into his invented Christianity - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!

The first person to provide a shred of verifiable evidence for God will become world famous and mega rich!! Ain't happened yet and it never will!

So how does this primitive belief survive? The answer is simple and very down to Earth

Acceptance of a supernatural claim tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.

They are christian, Muslim or the other religions depending where they were born simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!

Atheists have the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into the real world!

Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.

Sadly Christians are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!

Absolutely. God gave us a mind to think with. But believing even without evidence shows just how strong your Faith is. Blessed are those that have seen and believe. More blessed are those that believe and have not seen.

God bless you and keep you safe.

You bet it's true. Amen Brother.

God Bless Ya,

There is more joy in Jesus in one day.

Than there is in the World 365/24/7

I know, I tried them both.

I don't believe crazy things on principle. The reason is quite simple: the world isn't a crazy place.

Yes

I have, and it was today

And it made me very depressed. I want to believe in God, i really do. Yet still there's this voice that tells me there isn't any God. I still believe in God but I still question his existence. I hope I don't lose my faith totally. It's all I have.

All of those things are done by science or coincidence, or hallucinations, or wishful thinking. I never sit and try to rationalize God's existence, for that would be a waste of life. I know there is no God and wish more people would accept that so they as well can actually live their lives.

I used to when I was not so knowledgeable. Now, once I studied and know all the evidences that show God, I can no longer question Him.

I gave up trying to fight God and to prove a lie and rather chose to trust in the truth. God does, in truth, exist and blesses me so very abundantly.

The truth is not dependent on my belief.

Jesus is Lord!

What confident you Christians believed in loose will? Take the occasion of Pharaoh, while asked via Moses to enable God's human beings bypass, hardened his coronary heart, and while he did no longer harden his coronary heart, God hardened his coronary heart. look up the tale and you will see i'm top. look at Nebuchadnezzar, stated as as God's servant to chastise the Jews. Nebuchadnezzar wasn't even cognizant of God, yet did precisely what became into prophesied he could do to seize Jerusalem and take the Jews captive. you haven't any longer any loose will, save to serve Him as a servant via selection, or a servant below His disdain. in case you do no longer like it, via all skill sue Him, and stable success with that. he's God, and isn't any longer tormented via the tirades of adult males....rather those no longer worrying of His will, which would be finished. could desire to He then care what you think of is in basic terms? according to threat, slightly. examine Romans a million and 2 for something of your answer, and spot then if he's in basic terms to those that "are a regulation unto themselves"... i think of God is infinitely greater in basic terms than maximum. keep in mind, it became into He who gave His Son for us. To whom lots is given, lots is predicted.

No, but I do reflect on the crazyness of the christian belief from time to time.
