I am not saying that I don't believe in God, I am just asking you questions about your religion. 1. Why won't God heal amputees? 2. Why are there so many starving people in our world? 3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the Bible? 4. Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? 5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavey in the Bible? 6. Why do bad things happen to good people? 7. Why didn't any of Jesus's miracles in the Bible leave behind any evidence? 8. How do explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? 9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? 10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? I am agnostic and if you could answer all of these questions with a reasonible, and logical answer I would really think about Christianity.

this a a great question, i have it also since i was so young, for me God exists because millions of people say that, many religions are claiming to have one, in fact i can say also that there is one God somewhere who was able to create us and the hole universe, but, but,,, i dont see him anywhere i go, like you said many innocents die because of many reasons and they have nobody to help them, definitely none of us could have logical answer for this question, because according to religion you most believe only and not question at all, and i still asking God, if theres any to come and help, thats the only way i will trust that there is one God.

I see God in everything that is here on this earth. God created everything so how can anyone say they don't see God? I am totally against some churches because they teach man's traditions instead of going to the manuscripts that God had written by man so we all would come closer to HIM and love HIM.
You want a church that really teaches the truth then you need to listen to this man

There is only one God and HE will send Christ back here one day to destroy the devil!

hey free man , i wish i could believe same as you, but i cant, only to hear you make me feel worse, listen you say that he will come to to destroy devil?? but my question is why not now?, what is he waiting for? if he really love us, he most do it right now, i dont see any other good reason to wait, i think billions of people will agree with me, i was thinking also that it might be only like a game imagine that there is god, because of many promises about heaven and also to be there we need to beg and kneel down to go heaven, in my own opinion churches were found by clever people to make great money using the ignorance of all thers.

I do believe in God.
I'm a Muslim, I'll try answer your questions:
1. I'm not clear about your question
2. Lets thinking, if all people getting rich, who will be a workers ? In Koran, God Said 'God will provide what they earn and effort",
3. Life is solely to God, He has plan.
4. According to famous physicist and Nobel Prize Winner, Albert Einstein, "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind". You can read on thisistruth.org for reference
5. No comment
6. Do you think it was bad, but it's not for God.

Don't you think, If we have long life, then the world will be more full and of course the natural resources will be depleted.
The diseases is only logical way for God to take human life....If people die for no reason, what do you think ?

1)Because they will have both hands on the next life.If the man is made from clay then who are you to judge God`s handwork ? Try to make a statue from clay and maybe that one will ask you the same question.
2)Because they will eat as much as they want in the next life.For a christian this life is not important.You should be even more grateful when you are starving.
3)Because we don`t know how to read the bible and we don`t know His plans.
4)Because the science contains so much anti religious nonsense.
5)Because it was a period from our development as culture.What do you think Adam and Eve should have talked about free speech and democracy ?
6)Because the bad people are already in Satan`s hands.
7)Because faith when you have evidence is no longer faith.
8)Oh yes he appears to every one of us.Search your conscience.Since Jesus is the Truth you will see how many times he appeared to you.Every time you lie he is there in your conscience.
9)To be able to understand God and to hope you will live the next life.
10)Because very few are real christians and have Jesus as model.The rest of us are worse than non Christians.

1. If God wants us all to live our lives to the fullest, why does he choose to perform miracles on some people rather then others? 2. Basically the same thing as the first question, God should not let innocent people starve in this world just because they could eat as much as they please in the next. 3. How do we not know how to read the Bible? 4. Yes, but science uses real facts to prove something as true. How is it possible for someone to live in a fish for days? It isn't and it is impossible, but science explains why. 5. So you think slavery was good in that time. And yes they could of if they were thinking about the future. 6. That doesn't explain why bad things happen to good people. 7. I think it is very ignorant to put your total faith into anything without at least some evidence. Are you saying that there is no evidence in Christianity? 8. I meant physically appear to anyone. No matter how hard or how long you pray, Jesus will never physically appear to you. 9. But that sound caniblistic and disgusting in any other context. 10. So are you saying that anyone that has Jesus as a model won't ever get a divorce?

I belive in God even if i don't go to church. I don't like to go at Church cause when i'm at the Church i feel like am getting bored even the priest is talking about very interesting thing's from the Bible, aboud God Jessus. My opionion about starving people is that they are starving because don't have where to go at work because the system of that country is wrong just like in Romania. If you belive in god Jesus will appeare in your soul and God will save you from the hard times only if you want to save yourself and do what you need to do to pass those hard times with God's help. The Christian religion or non-Christian religion for me are the same because if you belive in God don't matter what is your religion.

I was raised as a Catholic, and I went to Sunday school, but honestly, I never really believed in the existence of God. It just doesn't seem possible to me, and I see no evidence of His existence. Most people I know do believe, though.
I know that some people need to believe in something greater than themselves in order to lead a good life, but I feel just fine not believing. Better, actually.
I am not in any way trying to bash religion. To each their own.
Also, I don't think I'd be able to answer your questions.
