For those who don't know whether God exists......?

Do you think he wants you to have eternal life is he is alive? If he did die for your sins, would he love you a great deal? If he did inspire the word, wouldn't it be foolish not to read it and seek to know him?

Update:

Hark, I already thought long and hard about all these things many years ago, and was truly born again 43 1/2 years ago, and the Lord has been faithful ever since. We go through trials and temptations, chastisements of course, but the Lord is faithful and he will never leave you if you trust him with our life.

Update 2:

Chaz, seek to know the Lord, seek truth in the inward being with your whole heart, surrender all to him, and he will come into your life and be with you forever.

    I know your god does not exist and he didn't inspire anything. The Bible was written by a bunch of desert dwelling sheep herders who wanted to control the masses through fear and intimidation. It's too bad people still believe that crap long after all the sheep herders died.

    I do not follow Baal

    Nor Osiris

    Adonis

    Dionysus

    Krishna

    Mithras

    Xipe Toltec

    Prometheus

    Quetzalcoatl

    Izanami

    Ishtar

    Christ

    Or whoever you are talking about (you really need to make it clear, you know, since there are so very many)

    But then, I don't know of any God who claims to have inspired a book !

    Jesus Christ certainly never made any such claim.

    (Not the Old Testament, which is so radically different than the books it was copied from, and definitely not the New Testament, since Christ's message gets such a small part, and is largely ignored anyway)

    You can, if you like. Men often claim they can tell Gods what to think, and demand other people to follow those insructions

    But not me, thanks.

    Do you have any evidence for any of your outrageous claims?

    Nope.

    Oh, and Pascal's wager is always a sucker bet.

    If this claimed "god" thing exists and loves people so much, it would leave some evidence of its existence. There is no such evidence. In fact, the various versions of the claimed "christian" god include proven-false and self-contradictory claims, and so *cannot* exist (as claimed).

    You appear to need a great deal of education. Life is short, I suggest you get started.

    How could you think that the God of the Bible cares about our well-being? Have you looked around or read stories in the news? It's obvious that a good God does not exist. If a God did exist he would be an evil, greedy, and murderous entity.

    There is no greater love than protecting the most innocent of this world: children. If he protected children then I would believe, but there is no such protection.

    Free will does not pertain to my answer, that is usually a cop out for: "I don't have an answer".

    There is an enormous amount of debate on the matter/antimatter arguments as well as all other discussions that address the origin issue (see link). When we rename "nothing," nothing really changes. Now what we called "nothing" is just called fill in the blank. Also, it is important to make the distinction between "consensus" and "unanimous."

    I've done a lot of searching through religions including Christianity (of which I'm assuming you are referring). and frankly the answer is No. I believe if the god of the bible exists he's petty and egotistic. So I don't really see him as someone looking out for me.

    Yet the existence of the Christian version of "god" is logically disprovable. A "god" or "gods" may exist, yet the one which Christians worship cannot even possibly exist.

    Isn't it foolish to worship a disprovable version of a "god?" What say ye?

    God didn't die for the sins of the people. Jesus did. Get your facts straight before you preach. Or even better, don't preach at all. I believe in God but everyone has the right to believe what they want.

  • Who's to say it's your version of God which is the truth and not anybody elses?
