A Simple Question...or 3!

[Cinjin]

DO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IN GOD?

The answer to that seems rather obvious to me where atheists are concerned.

...or is [proof] the main thing holding you back?

Uh, this question doesn't make sense. The word belief is only appropriate when no proof can be had. When evidence is demonstrated, all that remains is fact and belief is no longer necessary. One could easily argue that the disciples of christ never had any faith. They never had to believe - they had proof. Whats more is if Jesus had shown them absolutely nothing of his power, it's highly likely they would've treated him like a crackpot and not some earthbound deity. Not that I buy into that ridiculous fable anyway.

Do you believe that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe?

Again with the word belief. Wrong word. I theorize that there may very well be other intelligent life. It's really of no concern to me though.

Can anyone here (besides us zealots) answer a question, or challenge to their reasoning seriously? oops thats 4!

You should've stopped at 3.
