Christians: Why do you believe the claims in the Bible?

I'm not so much interested in what you believe, but why you believe it. Did you use logic, reason and evidence or did you just convince yourself that gullibility (i.e. "faith") was enough for you?

    Simple answer: because they want to.

    They usually give inane reasons like:

    "I saw a light. It was unexplainable. Now, let me explain it"

    ...and have no idea of how idiotic they sound.

    I believe in the claims of the Bible because I was once they are very religious person and I fell away from God and became an atheist and did everything that I so pleased after falling flat on my face and losing absolutely everything that I own I turned back to God hey mercifully accepted me back and now my life has improved a million times over so I know that God and the Bible are true you cannot pay me 15 billion dollars to go back to the Godless way of life

    For most of them it was a lack of education but fear, ignorance and indoctrination also played a part.

    God showed me the Bible is true. I admire those who believe without seeing.

    The fact of the matter, the reason why I believe the claims in God Holy Word the Bible is because, God Holy Word the Bible an all of the prophecy are coming true in God Holy Word the Bible, you can not be gullible, God has to put that faith and belief into your heart and only than will you truly believe that God Holy Word the Bible, is truth, because God has blinded the whole world of unbelief only God chosen will truly believe, read 2 Corinthians 3:14 read 2 Corinthians 4:4 read 1 John 2:11 read Ephesians 4:18 read Ephesians 2:8 read Amos 8:11 read Galatians 5:17-23 read Hebrews 4:12 read James 3-6-8 read Romans 6:23 read Romans 1:17-32

    I only have a thousand characters so I'll just keep it short. God revealed a spiritual light to me. I saw it. I was there. What happened was unexplainable

    Just being here eating, breathing, sleeping, living, dying is enough for me.

    I believe in whatever god my mommy taught me when I was too young to question the nonsense because I was never taught how to exercise healthy skepticism and logic.
