But when pressed to explain why their god prefers unfounded belief in his existence instead of knowledge, they'll toss out a few Bible verses and then change the subject as quickly as possible.
Except that, according to their own mythology, God in Jesus Form was perfectly willing to provide evidence to skeptics like Thomas and the apostles, after resurrection.
It's just us regular schlubs (and everyone else since Jesus vanished into orbit) who have to rely on the say-so of those apostles that they saw what they saw; God can't bother to provide proof to the rest of us.
God does provide proof to many i dont base my belief on anything that any apostle says . not everyone who believes in God believes in the teachings from apostles or any other religious person . didnt you say that your girlfriend believes in God ? why does she believe ?
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
