That's very obvious from reading your posts, your tone, and looking past yiur words sometimes. At some point you'll get what your free will wants.
I bet.So many people say that...
The number of people who come here and start threads like this is frustrating. They're convinced God doesn't exist, but they want to debate about it anyway. They INSIST with certainty that God doesn't exist, but spend hours here asking believers WHY they think God exists.
You're free to bang your head against the wall, have at it.

I've never said anywhere on here or elsewhere, that I believe a god doesn't exist with certainty. In fact, I stated the opposite in this very thread. You're free to ignore this thread, and others like it. Please don't misconstrue my words to fit your own view of atheists.
And my thread title has nothing to do with debating why do religious people think a god exists. I'm asking why should anyone care?
Again, please refrain from posting in this thread if you just want to take pot shots at atheists.
The debate of the existence of God is as old as time and will probably never be settled. What better place to debate this subject than on a religious forum?
If I go somewhere where there's only atheists, how am I ever going to get a theistic perspective?
I'm also not going to go on a video game forum to discuss matters of faith and religion.
If you don't like a particular subject, ignore the thread or stick to the Christians only sections. They greatly outnumber the parts we're allowed into.
You're right, my reply doesn't belong in your thread. I have read the whole thread, and now I'm asking you to forgive me for taking out my frustration on you. Btw, I don't lump all atheists into one pile, or beleivers either. But I can see how I gave that impression. I'll certainly refrain from being a snot to you in the future.
lol well, thank you for this.I'm honestly not a combative type. It wasn't all that long ago that I followed Christianity, and not in a 'lukewarm' kind of way. So, I understand your opinion.
I don't have a track record for taking shots at atheists. But lately some of these threads are testing my patience. The same goes for some of the threads here posted by believers. I think at this point it's safe to say I'm lacking patience and grace.
Just curious, which denomination did you indentify with, if any?
God don't need your buy in woman.
Believing in God ain't necessary for living a good and productive life either because what is good and productive is determined by you right?

This section is labeled as such for a reason, however. I take it that we can discuss these topics without judgement, and to have an open minded discussion. Philosophy is very much about being open minded to learning others' views.
My OP is designed to gain answers that deal with why is it necessary to believe? Why would a god expect his creation to believe in him/it? I say we simply don't know those answers, but theists might think we can know those answers through their respective holy books. This is where the discussion can either remain fruitful, or veer off into theists vs. atheists...and that wasn't my intent for creating the thread.
Sammiches!
I was raised Catholic, and then after college, I was more about just following the Bible, and attending non denominational services.
I actually enjoyed my life following Christianity. It didn't seem empty at the time.That all sounds very empty, no offense. I don't blame you for not wanting that life.
What happened between Catholicism and atheism, would you like to share?
