So, what would it take to make you believe that 4+9=302?

Don't mean to sound rude or anything, but if such a thing has influence on you, then you should probably just become agnostic. Blind belief is not a good thing, and agnostic would be an honest position for you. Being agnostic is not a bad thing, it's just being honest about your situation. To have belief without really understanding will in the end actually hinder you, as it stops you from seeking deeper and finding out for yourself etc.

Ok Badmedia. I will answer your question. There is a catch though. After I answer it I want you to answer the same question.

I would take 4 objects (we will use apples for this demonstration) so 4 apples and 9 apples and put them into one large pile and count the number of apples in that pile.
If the number of apples that exist in the pile when I put 4 apples and 9 apples together is 302 then I would question my own sanity.
I would seek to validate that 4 apples and 9 apples combined together suddenly now makes 302 apples.
How do you like DEM apples? errrr...bananas.
1) Everyone who has faith to all lose faith.
2) God saying that he does not exist.
3) Death and no afterlife.
4) Stars creating DNA
5) Nothing will change belief
All the stuff about science this, reviews and such. That was nothing more than a bunch of you trying to promote your own views.
Christians, meanwhile have lied, cheated, stolen, mocked, and have done things I didn't even know were possible for the human mind to contemplate, let alone do. Christian women have used me for their own twisted purposes. They have destroyed me and broken my heart more times than I care think about- going for the hot guy who can give them money. Using me to get there.

I never said God is all there is. Matter isn't God; matter is matter.
Well, that's just taking silly to the extreme, either god is the creator of "everything" or god isn't which is it to be my friend ?
If god is not the creator of all that there is, then who or what exactly, created matter then ?
God will never lie to you, He'll never cheat you, steal from you, or mock you.
Well, I am a (non)believer. Yup, there's a force, and it's just plain bad.
I've been to one of these 'healing' things- One word: SHILL. There isn't healing because THERE ISN'T. It's all a gimmick to pull in more money.
All I'd have is your WORD that 'God' is real- and I wouldn't trust a Christian as far as I could spit one.
Christianity. All I have experience with IS Christians- and lemme tell you- a nastier bunch of people I am not sure I have ever met. Been pulling knives out of my back now for well over 20 years.

Simply because jesus is imaginary, jesus doesn't give a crap about you, not because you've done something wrong but purely because he exists only in the imagination of christians.

God made matter, but He isn't matter.
So, you would like all us christians to ask God (the one you don't believe in) to come and put your life back in order. OK. I'll pray for you.

So where did the stuff (energy particle/waves) that god made matter from come from ?
