List of reasons to believe God exists?

[Catholic_Lady]

Science is the study of the natural, physical world. Makes sense a scientist wouldnt bring any sort of deity into the picture since it isnt something they can see, study, or measure in any way. Its outside their field of work, and would be inappropriate for them, as professionals, to do so. Their job is to try to find answers about our world without resorting to a deity for any of it.

It makes the most sense to me personally. We have no answers as to how the first physical thing came to exist, which leaves room for individual speculations and guesses. Some will guess the same as myself, others that it's probable the first thing could have just materialized from nothing, others  may think it always existed, and others will guess that it's all an eternal cycle with no beginning and no end. (And of course, some may refrain from having any sort of opinion on the matter, except that the deity proposition certainly isn't it.) There isn't proof or evidence for any of these, and of course I may be wrong about the God thing all together, though obviously I don't think I am.

And yes, my personal experience is by far my strongest piece of evidence. By far.

I should have recognized the bolded earlier.

You get to be 'thomas' with the sticking the hands inside living dead people, while everyone else is just taking some 2nd or 3rd or 4th hand centuries old writings and being asked to believe it.  That's a pretty nice break for you if it all works out as you suspect.

I was a practicing Catholic prior to the incident. But it is mostly years after the fact when I occasionally find myself wondering if it all actually is true about God and Jesus, it's that incident that grounds me back.

I'm curious to know... when/why did you become an atheist?

CL really needs to watch it, also.

My preferences:
1) Read
2) Be Ignorant
3) Watch a video

Yeah I'm not gonna sit through an hour long video from some guy I've never even heard of.
