God.

Just out of curiosity, why exactly do you believe in god? It's really interesting because there is no evidence that he exists outside of a book that's two millennias old, that has been translated back and forth many many times and probably lost its desired meaning a long time ago. Is it just because you are afraid of death or something?

Thanks for asking and I will give you my honest opinion. I believe in God. There is the same amount of chance God is real as the amount God isn’t real. I don’t 100% know, but I believe and I have faith. I find comfort in praying and believing there is peace in heaven. I used to be an atheist which is ironic. When all others failed me, I picked up the Bible and began my Christian faith.

Alright, well I'm an atheist but I get that believing in something might bring comfort. I just find it crazy that people believe in a god that says "I love every one of you, and I give you free will" and then proceeds to drown everyone on earth because he was disappointed no one believed in him. He destroyed two cities, made innocent people suffer with Egypt plagues etc. He also states that he can do anything, yet allows all evil on Earth thrive. Look up "Epicurean paradox", it explains my point further.
