I don’t think there’s a god/ God either.
If there’s anything that can reverse my stance, it can’t be anything less than divine intervention. I just cannot bring myself to believe in a supernatural being, an evidence of whom, I’ve never experienced, ever.
And if you or anyone really believed there is a god or God, you wouldn’t be wasting time on your job or family; you’d be treading the planet, helping your god’s “children”, and teaching everyone about this god of yours. Because nothing can be more important, than knowing with certainty that your work is truly for your god. Anything less, is hypocrisy. IMHO.

My pastor had a sermon on this and he agrees with you. My son’s private Chritian school had a spiritual emphasis week last week, and it was basically the same theme.
From my own personal experience, people are much more open to listening about God/Jesus if they know that you are a decent person. I try not to shove my faith in people’s faces, but I’m not shy about saying what I believe.

That is entirely possible. All you have to do is ask in sincerity. Something like, "God, show me if you are real and if Jesus is your Son. If you do I will serve you the rest of my life."
Many are not willing to do this.

Have you ever stopped to consider the amount of blind faith necessary to believe that the universe sprang from nothing - and for no reason?

Correct to a point. God needs people in jobs and people taking care of children, etc. It is not up to us to decide what we will do for God, just to obey what He call on us to do.

And it is your 'GOD' given 'right' to believe what you choose to believe. IF the Heavenly Father (Creator of all souls/spirits) wants your attention He knows exactly how to get it. But your believe or disbelief does not hamper that 'plan' established before the foundation of this flesh age. So might say buckle your seat belt times are sure getting interesting.
