You mentioned you had searched for God and I wondered about how you searched for Him..and since you mentioned you never checked out Christianity because you had dismissed it as a little kid, I suggested that logically, it bears consideration if you wanted to actually investigate the question of God seriously. I am not sure exactly how one might rule out God in the first place, being that we are finite beings with limited knowledge.
Don't confuse dismissing Christianity with not considering it. I may have concluded it to be false at a young age, but Christianity has been in my face enough that I am fully aware of what it entails. Still, I have dismissed it.
And I haven't ruled out god completely. Being an agnostic atheist, I admit there is a possibility god exists, albeit a very, very tiny one. The thing I have completely ruled out is a personal god that has any stake in human affairs.
Okay, so you're open to the possibility that a Deist god exists. Why do you rule out a personal God?

Hey downbeatplumb Do you think Jesus existed? If so, what do you think of Him?

Christianity is true if and only if the god of the Old Testament is true. The god of the Old Testament is false. Therefore Christianity is false.
Hello popeyespappy. If Jesus was resurrected, Christianity is true. If Christianity is true, the Old Testament God is true. The endpoint for all these questions is Jesus Christ. If He was not raised from the dead, none of it is true. If He was, He is sitting at the right hand of the Father at this very moment.

You're being a douche.
Hi SophiaGrace I don't think we've spoken before, and so I am not sure how I am pressing something on you. This is my introduction thread, and many people here have engaged me in conversation about my faith. I could understand if I were going around the forum giving sermons, but I'm not. Nothing I have said, except my introduction I suppose, has been unsolicited. So, I am confused as to why you are criticizing me here.
Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
