You can't look at this vast world of ours and not believe in a god, the God. The One who sent his only begotten son to die on the cross to redeem mankind fro all their sins forever. Where do you think you go after this, cuz I can guarantee you its not just in the ground. You will be placed on the Judgement Seat of Christ and told of all the things you have done in this life whether good or bad. Get your life together now, so that you can get a cozy house when you go up......

Yes. Doubts are part of everyone's life whether Christian or non-Christian. I have found that Christians who have repented of their sin, came humbly to God for forgiveness and exercised faith in the blood of Jesus Christ to pay the debt for their sins are always certain of their salvation. The transformation that takes place when a person truly gets saved is such an immense change of heart, mind and attitude that it is undeniable.
Perhaps you have allowed yourself to accept the weak and insipid version of salvation offered by many churches in this generation that require only mental assent (ie; "Just believe in Jesus and you are saved.") Any genuine salvation experience begins with the acknowledgement of sin, repentance for the sin, trusting Christ to be Savior and living to love and serve him from a thankful heart. Any other experience falls far short of that reality!

I used to be a christian, but after ten years of believing I started to doubt christianity. But now that I am an Atheist things accually make sense in this world now, everything is clear.
I'm not saying to become an Atheist, I'm telling you to QUESTION christianity, question God and you will find the answer.

Of course he is real and there is lots of evidence for his existence .
Thomas had doubts also but he kept seeking and found God and believed. You will too my friend :)
Doubts are how your faith eventually grows .

Depends on your concept of God. If God is everything then of course God exists. Gods existence is evident in everything that is in creation, no matter what process brought forth that creation! So evolution doesn't have to contradict God whatsoever.
Even Charles Darwin in 1879 said and I quote :
" I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of God - I think that generally....an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind."
He said this well after The Origin of Species was published. Not long before his death in fact.

No. I do not think God is real. I was born a Buddhist but I have no beliefs of Buddha. It depends on if anyone wants to follow and believe or not. If you have doubts, just stop following it and believe something else. Like science :-D. It depends on you, friend. Okay?

Something exists, but it is not that sadomasochist that christian call God. Universal consciousness is far more wonderful, profoundly wise and accessible, and there is no hate or evil anywhere in it. It is US.
I am not surprised that some unethical people invented God and assigned that consciousness human traits in order to amass money and power. I am surprised by how many haven't figure it out yet.
Good for you for waking up. If you think about it, the crucifiction story makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. No "loving" god would do that.

Our assurance of Him is as strong as we allow.
As we nurture our relationship with Him - our confidence grows stronger because our connection is stronger. When we ignore Him- He seems to fade away. This is only our perception- not reality. He is still there regardless of how we feel.
But He does not force Himself on us. He waits to be invited. Our relationship with Him- as with others- requires our time and commitment to keep it healthy.

Yes, God is real, and yes, it is healthy to have those doubts. It should lead you to find the real God.
