There is no evidence for the existence of “God”. None what so ever. People believe based on faith, not evidence.

I can not do that. I look at the stories in the holy books and understand that primitive people looked to the supernatural to explain things they could not understand. There is no need for that today.

People who do today, who literally believe a 2000 year old dead Jew is coming back for them are ill. That is just my opinion.

While I personally have no belief in the supernatural, I don't think that the 95% of people who do believe in it (in some form) are ill simply because they do...any more than I think that people who believe in astrology are ill, despite how absurd I find it.

I'm always dumbfounded by people who insist there is no God or spiritual life after death, and then run around trying to convince people there is life on other planets or perhaps we may or could have been visited by aliens. Heck, they might even believe in ghosts. You may not be one of these people. Perhaps you simply believe this is all there is-which isn't a lot. But there is far more evidence about God visiting us here then there is life elsewhere, ghosts or aliens.

Yet it is a matter of faith and not all have faith-it is a gift from God. All one has to do is ask for their eyes to be opened to hear the truth.
