"the devil is a trickster he plants thoughts and doubts into our minds to make us believe that god isnt real,and any other lies he can tell you in order for you, to turn your back on god. believing in god has done many wonderful things for people including me. one things for sure I rather believe then to not believe and find out i was wrong. the battle we fight is not against flesh or blood but a spiritual one. the mind is the battle field. come back to christ he loves you, and he wants to save you from going to hell.
If that's the best answer people can give then I don't know what to think. Blame it on something else and you'r in the clear is what I'am getting from that, people are to retarded to think for them selves ye we've been to the moon and back yet when we question the existence of God it must be some evil force feeding us this information because we are to stupid to question it. /sigh
When people say things like this, I believe it is simply a defense mechanism against thier own doubts. It is much easier for them to believe that the suspicions raised about the validity of their religion are the result of some trickster than for them to actually reconcile these suspicions with their faith. They fear even entertaining that these supsicions may be valid, and to prevent them from having to actually think about it, they convince themselves that it is god's nemesis at work.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
