Evidence enough for me.

As far as Christianity, hard to overstate the importance of the Ten Commandments as the moral foundation of Western Civilization.
It can, you refuse to accept it. And that is fine. But be honest about your choice.

You'll probably be pretty well served by that talking on the creek bank.

You may want to ask about the Costco thing though. Go for a tryout one day when they have a lot of folks serving samples. You can get a pretty good snack time for free out of it at least.

You asked a question in your title and then asked something different in the body.

Title: Yes.

Body: No, I don’t feel the same.


You seem to trying to explain your rationale, which may be fine if you want people to make you feel good about your choice. Sorry, I can’t help with that. I believe you are making a great mistake and for your sake only, I hope you reconsider. But it’s always been a choice. Now this isn’t a choice: You are going to physically die, 110% for sure. And you probably have a ton more time behind you than you do in front of you.

Plenty of versions of God to choose from, it's like shopping in a department store.

I have accepted Christ in my heart. I believe that God exists all around us and is beyond our collective humanity. Bees work together and follow a pattern that sometimes requires the hive to kill the queen. They follow a pattern that is derived in their programming but I sense that there is a connection that bees make to God. I believe that God makes patterns that we tend to follow but must be reminded of from time to time. You just have to be nuanced to look at the patterns.

You can hear his voice in the wild places and its a hum that is definitely beyond human understanding. People used to say that the Aurora doesn't produce sound but now they have figured out that it is so. I think that God is in the details and I have seen to many things to be numb to that.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit will speak and provide guidance for me when I am at a crossroads. I do believe that in the modern age that we have lost a lot of the attachments that people used to have pre-Internet.

Despite 11 years of Catholic school, yes I do. Though undoubtedly not in the way they laid it out for me back then, or even practiced it themselves.

You bet. I believe in a higher power, and of course there are many versions of what that higher power is. For the most part, those varied interpretations have good aspects, but sometimes they get warped due to human nature, which can always be a problem.

The world is complicated and sometimes hard to decipher, but at least that keeps things interesting.

Absolutely!

I believe in God the Father, Jesus his only son and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says that "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord"!

Quite a repulsive comment, even for an atheist to make.

That came across condescending. I don't take any of this seriously.

Even Satan and cast out demons believe in God. It’s what you do with that belief determines where your soul( which lives forever) will spend eternity. Do you believe His Son died for our sins and arose on the third day is what counts. God is Holy and as such, cannot have a relationship with us sinners unless there is a blood sacrifice- Jesus. Do you want to conquer death as Jesus did? Believe and repent. Simple.
