Challenging the Atheist belief

[pocaracas]

My beliefs aren't some indoctrination that I've read and accepted, in fact it's the opposite and similar to yours, only with a different conclusion.

Yes they are.
Had you not been born within a society which teaches you the concept of the divine, would you ever have even reasoned that way and considered it as a viable option?

Your belief is you don't follow a religion and accept that God exists because there is no proof.

My belief is, I don't follow a religion, but I believe that there exists evidence beyond our understanding that suggests there could be a God.

How do you reckon that such evidence exists, if it's beyond our understanding?

Such as certain NDE's

AGAIN?!
NDEs are not DEs.... N = Near... means the person never dies.

Or intelligence,

The ability to think?
Like dolphins do? and dogs, and cats, and many other mammals...?
And maybe even lizards do it...
And birds... certainly, I've seen a crow (or was it a raven?) use his street smarts to crack open a nut... by placing it in the middle of the road, waiting for a car to pass by, and then retrieving the juicy pieces.

such as the people who are happiest are in a state of love.

Perhaps the concept of "happy" has some common threads with the concept of "love", don't you think?

But what is love outside of a word? We cannot explain it, it'd be like explain what a tree looks like to a blind man. You have to experience it.

What is hate?
what is friendship?
what is stupidity?
What is hopelessness?

Describe any emotion...

Too me, this intelligence and why its incorporated within life suggests a map that might indicate a reason for our existence.

No reason. We just exist.

I believe God is that map.

Would you believe that had the concept of god never been introduced to you?

Why does it feel good when someone compliments you and why does it feel bad when someone insults something important to you?

To me, there's something to this. It doesn't just exist for no real reason, as nothing seems to exist for no real reason, as evolution suggests.

"evolution suggests" that things exist for no real reason, is that it?
Evolution suggests that life forms adapted slowly to their environments... The reason was the environment... the drive to stay alive.

For these reasons, I believe in a God, but not in the form that most have been conditioned to understand, but in the form of love, which to me, from what I understand, seems to be the reason we exist.

Why believe in such a thing?
