first off, i just kinda wanna tell everyone that i, in no way, want to start any kind of argument. i have a strong faith, and a strong love for my Lord..and when discussions about Him arise, i definately want to get involved and try to stand up for what i believe or should i say know to be true. i know there are many many people who don't believe the way i do, and i will never disrespect anyone for that. and mushroom, i did not mean to say that anyone should be "scared" into their faith. i'm not the type to go and yell at people "you're going to hell!" i am in no position to judge anyone, because we are all sinful. i am not perfect by any means, but i know i'm forgiven, and that's the difference. all i meant by that statement, was what do u have to lose to try to believe in God? and to answer your question, if someone could prove to me that God didn't exist, or give me something even remotely questionable, then i probably would also doubt and might believe there was no God. but there has never been a time where i've heard something that made me doubt His existence. and for D - what you said about "religious" people being hypocritical, i know i've heard that before. i think the reason that is is because people have this idea that Christians are perfect, and they never sin again. so when you hear someone say drinking is wrong and then u see them have a drink, u say 'what a hypocrite' when in reality, it's just that we KNOW things are wrong, but sometimes we stumble and sin..i know i do (not with drinking, but other things)...
