An atheist.
1)What makes you think christianity is true?
2)How do you handle problem of evil, problem of hell, problem of heaven, problem of omniscience and LOTS of other problems of it?
I don't "handle" it, but rather am "handling" it. And any Christian who can say they have all the answers is self-delusional, because they would be implying that they are God. And that directly contradicts what they preach. I'm working through my personal beliefs (Christian or not) and questions every single day. And its a hellish struggle.
So far I can prove to myself one thing for a fact. One thing I know to be true no matter what anyone says, and that's I exist. I know I exist. I am. I just AM.
Secondly, when it all comes down to it, excluding all those problems first, I personally find peace in something, I don't know what, but something greater than myself. It satisfies my desire, and belief to admit to myself that there is something that I don't know about.
And finally, I personally decided that I'd rather believe in God, die, and nothing happen, than not believe God exist, die, and be proven wrong.
I guess that's the best way to desribe how I still hold on to these ideas.
