God?

Pardon me, but this post will not be eloquently written, as it is pure emotion.

Something that bothers me is when Atheists say "Stop forcing your religion on me, accept our differences." But those same people say "How can you believe in a God when there is no proof? You are so irrational, it makes me laugh." It's called faith, asshole. For all you logical people out there, Descartes really helped me understand religion, and yes, despite the fact that he was a hardocre mathematician, he believed in God.

Descartes said that there are four possibilities with religion: you can believe and be correct, believe and be incorrect, not believe and be correct, or not believe and be incorrect. When I look at that phrase, I feel that logically, I should believe in God and here is why. If I believe in him and he exists, yay for me! I embraced God and learned alot and proved those atheists wrong! If I believe and God is NOT real, oh well, I was able to learn some things that helped me be a better person. If I do not believe and God does exist, I will feel like a fool. The only winning scenario for Atheists is if you do not believe and God does not exist, good for you, you were right the whole time. That is why I believe in God in the logical sense.

There is another reason, however, that I believe in the lord almighty. When I leave church every sunday after being an acolyte (yes, I am an altar boy and no, I have never been touched by someone besides God), there is a feeling in my body, a tingling sensation, that is unexplainable. I am sorry, but I get it in no other situation. This to me is a sign of God. It is his spirit filling up my body.

One thing that Atheists say is that they live better lives because they seize the day due to the fact that they feel it is their only life. Sure, that is a good way of looking at it, but I think of all my family that has died. And god damnit, i'll be damned if they are'nt waiting for me on the other side. I feel like there has to be a place where we go when we die. Think about it. You are seeing this screen right now, it is what you see. Why are'nt you seeing something else, why are you in YOUR body that you're in right now? This is the thing that gets me and I cannot explain why I am Hunter Garth and not somebody else. There is no randomness, you cannot get something out of nothing, it must be the work of the divine.

Lastly, a sart man once said to me "Atheism is the best way of thinking because we have our facts and we have proven them. The burden of producing proof now lies with the religious people." Well here is what I have to say about that. In order to prove science, you use science. In order to prove religion, we use miracles unexplainable by science. Tell me how people begin to speak in tongues at the sight of the bible? Tell me how the Shroud of Turin is so old, yet it contains the image of a man that could only be produced by a light source that is unavailable on earth, let alone in 1400A.D. (If you dont know what the Shroud of Turin is, look it up). Explain people like Mother Theresa! Science is not really fact because what if you view atoms with a different tool and our perspective on it is different? Evolution is just a theory that we tend to accept because it makes sense to us (I believe in it too). But there are things we have no explanation for, which is why I am Religious.

Explain to me how a cancer patient, when given only two weeks to live, prays to God everyday for a peacuful death. And a year later, recieving no other treatment because he was a lost cause, that patient is alive. That is the work of God.

I will wrap this up with these few words. Atheists say that believing in God is false hope, but so what. Many things in my life have been difficult and without the comfort of God, I do not know how I could have made it. How do Atheists deal with their problems? God is the only way I know how, and it is working pretty damn well.

BTW, for you Atheists who say that "Why would God allow genocide and war." To that I say it is sin. God is not perfect (As seen in the story of Noah's Ark, which I do not believe in literally, but it has very important meaning in it) and humans are not perfect either. Humans make mistakes. Besides, God would not want lucifer to be lonely, would he?
