I am a strong believer in God. I am a Christian. I found it made no sense when I became very very sick. I wondered why God would do this to me? Why is there such awful, horrible things in the world? I believe God was with me the whole time, every time I cried, he cried. God didn’t give me this sickness, he tries to help me every day but there are some awful things that the devil give that God can only hold your hand through. God would never want anyone to die and I think he was there in my darkest moments. However, it is all a personal thing and I respect that everyone can believe what they want. I don’t know what I would do without my faith. It has literally kept me alive when I was suicidal.

Just to let you know in the Bible ‘the devil’ only killed a grand total of 10 people while God killed around about 2.3 million, thinking of this I think your God would be capable of doing those horrible things to someone.
In some ways Lucifer did more hard than good, he gave humans the ability of critical thinking saving us to being thought slaves to God for eternity. Never learning to think truly for ourselves. Then he excepts humans as humans and understanding we are not perfect, he excepts Gods unwanted children. Even though the bible claims God forgives all and excepts everyone and loves all, he still sends his children to hell with Lucifer the first of many abandoned children.
So you can’t blame things like this on Lucifer, because even if he had some hand in the product your God still let that happen, and did nothing to protect you from the pain and suffering.

This is just coming from an agnostic point of view though.

I think if you’re going to have faith in a God except that he may have done things wrong that he isn’t perfect, according to the bible we are designed in his image after all and don’t shift the blame onto some other exterior force. Love what you believe in unconditionally.

I do believe in God, and I’m a Christian, and I just want you to know that God didn’t do those things to you, the devil did.

I am a Christian and I can honestly say that I don’t know where I would be today without Jesus in my life. He has comforted me through all the bad things that have happened in my life, and given me strength to endure them. I go to a church where we celebrate how much God loves us. We laugh together, we cry together, and we are always there for each other. We accept everybody for who they are, and don’t judge anybody despite their situation. This church is my family and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m not trying to push religion on anybody but just try to keep an open mind.

If you look at cnn.com there is a poll on America’s decline of religon. I am a Jehovah’s Witness and I truly believe that it is the truth.

I was born Jewish, I guess, and I go to a Jewish school. But I’m a very scientific and logical person, and I’ve realized recently that the idea of having a god is primitive. It’s just that there’s so many scientific things that contradict the bible, and things in the bible that can’t, in any way, be proven. I’m not sure what religious people think of science. In science class, do they just think everything is fake? The Big Bang and evolution aren’t mentioned in the bible. Honestly, how can any logical person believe that some supernatural being rules over the universe and created it in seven days? It’s ridiculous, if you think about it. And think about all the times religion has caused war. Believing in God explains nothing, and rejects all the amazing scientific discoveries we’ve made that do actually make sense.

I believe in God. Not because its the “right thing” to do in the eyes of my church(non-denominational) or ill go to hell if I don’t (in which I believe is true) but when I read the bible or I do something good, I know he is helping me. How can this world come from a Big Bang? We’re so complicated that we sill can’t figure most thing out scientifically. Religion is a beacon of hope… I wish humanity could see it for that and not for the “cross Huggers” or whatever they call us. It’s a person choice in what they believe, and I chose God and Jesus because to me, without them, I would not be here. People make mistakes, no one is perfect, and we sin. I was born while my mother was is highshool with my father their senior year. That made a mistake. Their bestfriends died a year later in an accident. They still believe. I have a horrible, redneck, worst than “duck dynasty” family, and we still believe!!! I’d die if it came to the choice to live or choose Christianity. that’s what I believe!! Thank you Jesus for dieing for all of us

People seem to have forgotten there are many atheistic religions, you can be an atheist and still have a religion, Buddism is atheistic, I am religious but I’m a LaVeyan Satanist which suits the way I’ve grown up taught to think for myself and to question everything not just take I for granted that something is true, a quick cover of some basic beliefs for those who do not have any experience of a true satanists beliefs. We focus on how we can develop ourselves knowledge is important and we believe ignorance to be one if the worst ‘sins’ possible. Children and animals ae to be protected, and we believe revenge is acceptable. But respecting others is important. We are very tolerant of those who accept us and do not hold ignorant opinions but we are Athesitc we do not believe in an entity, we are our own god it is our influence on our lives that is important

I totally agree with the author of this article, especially the last paragraph. People should be free to believe whatever they think is right for them.

I’m an atheist because I think that if there was a God he must not be as great as they say he is. Even in the bible he seems terrible. All the terrible things happening in the world and some guy in the sky just watching us run around doesn’t seem real. It just seems like it has no logic in it whatsoever.
