I have believed in God as long as I can remember, and for that reason atheism is almost confusing to me. Sure, the Bible might not line up with science but keep in mind it was written 2000 ish years ago by people with 0.001%of scientific understanding as we do today. If you say God does not exist, go on believing what you want, but I 100% believe that you are wrong. Go talk to any good Christian anywhere and they will tell you why. I still think it is comforting to know that we have a purpose, and that out Creator would die for each and every one of us, even though none of us deserve it, and that we can go to heaven and live in happiness forever. so yeah. If you don't want to believe all of those amazing things, go ahead. God still loves you, whether you want to believe it or not. That is comforting to believe, and I understand why you would want to believe in God for that purpose, But I guess diffrent brains have diffrent ideas of what's comforting, and what's comforting to me is seeing all the people who don't believe that there is a purpose to our lives, or an afterlife, but still go on with their lives, as if they couldn't be plunged into endless oblivoun any day. Wether it's bravery or ignorance, it encourages me to keep on going with my own life. Because there's no ignoring it, death scares me.

-Chloe Death is real. What if we're right about God? What if all this matters? What if your life doesn't just stop existing after death? Wouldn't you want to know if this were true or not? God is real. Why do people always get so angry when Jesus is mentioned?

NinjaTeddyBear Maybe you are right. And if you are you can I told you so all you want and I won't blame you. But I don't believe in God.

-Chloe This isn't about me being right. It's about the fact that God put us on this earth and gave us a free will to choose if we were going to choose Him or choose to rebel. Your life doesn't just suddenly become perfect if you choose Him, but He will forgive your sins and guide you through your life and when you die you get to be with Him. But if you choose to rebel against Him, He will judge you after you die. Do you really want to risk that all this is nonsense? Is it not worth considering?

NinjaTeddyBear I would rather I not place trust in something, and it be trustworthy, than place my trust in it and be let down. I don't think I have purpose. I think that life ends, and that there is no after life. I find the worst truths are the most comforting, if that makes sense.

-Chloe

Very, very well put. And I agree.
