We have to remember that there are individuals in this world who don't want to believe. Nothing you could show them or tell them would convince them- or at the very least open their mind to the possibility- because they don't want it to be true. I keep hearing atheists say, 'Hey. Just show me evidence.' Then you do and they're like, 'Oh you're an idiot.' So they are not sincere. They justify their disbelief with some of the most illogical and fallacious arguments I have ever heard and that gives away their close-minded bias.

Not an error at all, do you really expect to be able to understand how God thinks enough to make a logical conclusion?
I am amazed at others who use the arguement "Well if he really is God why didn't he just..". Come on people!

I can't speak for others, but personaly, I DO want to believe. You have no idea how great it would be for me to be able to say "God did it" instead of contemplating things until my head hurts. You have no idea how great it would be to think that I had an afterlife that would be all peach and cherrys. I believe anyone would WANT to believe in this.
TruthParadox, Thanks for the tranparency here!!!!
I'm believing it WILL happen....
Seek with all your heart...peace is coming my man!

I have been pondering the issue of faith this week ...
I realized that it takes faith to even get up in the morning and start a new day .
We have no CLUE when we will die ...and if we didnt wake up in faith that we would live today ...we would not have a very good day would we ?We would think any minute could be our day to die and that would be very depressing .
Instead we wake up and have faith that at least we will make it through the day.
We also have faith that we will find love someday ...if we didnt have faith about that then possibly we would never find it ..
We have faith that our children will grow up and become the best they can be ..
Everything we do requires faith....we have no way of knowing how anything will turn out ..but we have faith that it will work out dont we ? That is what gets us up in the morning and looking forward to the days events ....
Everyone has faith and everyones faith is what gets them through everyday.
Why is it so difficult then to have faith that there is a GOD and that he loves us and he wants whats best for us ..just like what we think about our own kids...

This was so well said, that I find it hard to comment on the subject. One does not "prove God", one has "faith in God". God needs no proof. Only those who don't believe require proof, and because of that one thing they cannot understand God. But be that as it may, all one has to do is look around you and the evidence for God is always there to see, hear, and experience.
