How did you find God?

[jennifer BFL chick]

Why do people that believe in God (or a higher power) feel "sorry" for people that don't believe.

I'm very content with myself without believing in God, truly.

Looks like some of u dont have a healthy fear of God. heh.


Jennifer.....I guess the answer is this. Because if God *is* real, then you would be missing out on the oppurtunity of experiencing him.

The best argument against athesim is this: If the realm of human knowledge is incomplete, which it is, then how can humans definitly say God doesnt exist? They cant.

True, people who beleive in God can neither prove His existence emperically. But, the point is, the best conclusion anyone can make about Gods existence is that they dont know.

I've never felt sorry for people that do not beleive in God, however, I feel extremly sorry for people that think they can understand the Creator of the Universe by listening to a couple of things about Him, or reading few chapters of the Bible. Then passing it all off as some "imaginary freind" that some phycolgicly unstable group of people use to help maintain there appearance of sanity.
Put things in perspective. The top minds, in the hundreds of individual fields of study, HAVE YET to complete their learning. That is, no one field of study is yet to be a complete work. No-one knows everything there is to know about ANYTHING. And we, in our incredible insignifgance, are going to understand THE CREATOR enough to pass ANY kind of judgement on the subject?
I DON'T THINK SO. Know and understand that, regardless of any piont of veiw that you may have, there is only one GOD that claims to be; All knowing, all presant, all powerful. Oh yea, and he will lovingly send you to HELL, regardless of your insignificant opinion, if you do not belive on Him. That, all by itself, is enough to get me to belive. And I always have, for that and many other reasons.
I can't wait for the responses to this one.

interesting points----

I know I'm not of the norm when I say I don't believe in a higher power. I really don't like talking about religion because people LOVE to challenge my beliefs, when I just except theirs.

But I said it earlier in this thread, if I did believe in god or what have you, there's not much I would change about the way I live, if anything.

If I believed in hell, then I would most likly believe in god, but I don't

there is nothing to lose by believing in God, but everything to gain,,,but u may POSSIBLY risk losing everything by not if he truly does exist, because no one can prove that he does not.. However if he does, the ones that don't believe, yet still are good people I do not believe would be punished.. Its one reason Im not to keen on the catholic church, they condemn you to hell for everything

 

[slotline]

I found God by leaving myself open to the idea that it could be true. No other religions made sense to me. They all had something that did not seem right except for Christianity. I don't really care about labeling myself like that, it's more of the fact that I have given my life to the lord. God is not someone to be afraid of, but not getting the chance to spend eternity with him is.

But the cowboy hat and boots are plausible! lol

i was targeted, for some reason, by an evil spirit. Everyday it would make my night miserable. So I had to get a pastor to pray for and with me. Since then my nights have been peacful, and I am going to church every sunday.

But everybody also knows the cowboys in Texas are just for show. Real cowboys work and live in Wyoming.
