Sure. Thank you for asking:
My belief comes in the same three ways all people attempt to understand the deeper things of life: religiously, philosophically, and scientifically.
In this forum, most people would probably be interested in my religious viewpoint. So, here it is.
I believe two things:
A. God is monistic in nature.
B. The human purpose is to be Christ.
That's it. The implications, on the other hand, have taken me well over a decade to try to understand, and I'm still working on it. I see you call yourself a non-denominational Christian, I can assure you that you and I are as far apart in our beliefs as you are from the atheists. You do not believe God is monistic in nature, and you do not believe that any human can be Christ--other than Jesus, of course.
On the one hand you have the atheists who believe there is no God. On the other, you have me who believes all there is is God. I suppose my goal in life is to prove my point both philosophically and mathematically and to opine on the religious implications of it all. I may or may not succeed, but that's God's problem, not mine.
Again, thanks for asking. Out of curiosity, what do you believe?

Let's hope so. Ever since the Tudors ended on Showtime, there's nothing worth watching on TV, that's for sure.
But I want to add one other category of atheist I won't respond to, the We don't believe that...type.
Whenever an atheist is cornerd, they say they don't believe this or that. They constantly shift back and forth in order to avoid logical loopholes that are inherent in denying the existence of God. I even argued, I think, for about a month once with an atheist who claimed he never said he believed there was no God, because that would imply faith--making his atheism a religion of course. The battle over symantics was ruthless in that one, and a big waste of time to be sure.
You say you will direct me to a video on YouTube--says who? What you mean is you will direct me to a video that espouses what you believe, or that you agree with. But atheists come in all types and flavors. Just like Christians, just like Muslims, just like Jews, just like Buddhists, just like Hindus.
