I got a charge out of the diety thing at death. Whichever god your believe in is gonna be the one you relate too. Even the biblecsays therebare different gods, and different levels if gods. The Christian God is stronger than the Egyptian and other middleastern gods cause he kicked their asses.
I had an experience w Jesus so, of course that’s where i lean. Still about 60% of this nation are trying to teach their kids about Jesus and the morality presented by Him.
I stopped worrying about other folks.

There is a God. Scientists, philosophers and those looking to dispel His existence cannot prove He doesn’t exist. Even my poor try to explain Him falls short. That’s the amazing thing. God and the worship of God (not the worship of religion) is totally based on faith. If he suddenly appeared to everyone, there would be very few that wouldn’t believe. Basing a belief on natural phenomenon, such as creation and the fact that every bug, mammal, fish and we small humans, have the degree of connectivity isn’t a “big bang” or an evolutionary fact. Our connectivity is why some small relatively insignificant critter is important for the survival of a species below it and above it. The history of His presence, as reported in the Bible is what strengthens my belief. I never bash other folks religion or beliefs, but when a religion is based on a man made mantra beware, because with the birth of Christ, He’s our savior and removed the need to seek another human as a mediator between us and God. If I told you what a great fisherman my neighbor is but I know nothing of fishing myself that’s just reporting on another’s success. However if I caught the fish and have the experience and reputation then that’s fact. I can only speak for myself as to my Christianity. Faith is the essence of things believed, but not necessarily seen. But don’t take my word for this read Hebrews 11 (I like the “New Living Translation”) and think on faith. Also know this, not everyone that hears will believe. To some of us there’s a predestination for belief and to some for denial. This is between a person and the one true God. Blessing to everyone for a great day…

I read somewhere that there's like 390 definitions of God on this Planet. Thats pretty much when I just started worshiping Tang. It's always been a pleasure and never let me down. Hope this helps...

“Absence of Evidence does not mean Evidence of Absence” can be simplified to mean that the lack of evidence for the existence of something does not necessarily prove that it does not exist at all. The absence of evidence can occur in a few ways. Someone could say that, because there is no evidence for a position, that position must be false. Or, someone could say that because the evidence against a position was recently disproven, the position must be correct after all. You get the idea.
In other words, the absence of evidence fallacy occurs when someone uses a lack of evidence to try to “prove” something. Of course, the problem with this line of reasoning is that a lack of evidence is just that: a lack. You can’t use it to conclude anything; you could only conclude that we still don’t know about that thing.

I almost kicked the Bucket back in the day.. World went fuzzy and I saw the Dallas Cheerleaders naked in my living room. If that don't bring you back to life...Well , you need to die. It's a good thing you didn't see the team in action, you'd be dead.

I understand people's hesitancy with and even disdain for religion. I however can not understand how anyone can look at scenes like that or in my case diving in the ocean and not believe we have a creator. Diving does that to me as well. To dive on a reef with literally has hundreds and hundreds of different fish, corals, invertrabrates and other critters and believe that they just happened doesn't meet my reasonable expectations list. Even if one doesn't believe in Jesus it seems to me that it would be easier to believe in a supreme being of some kind to create all those animals and the rest of the world.

There's definitely a much bigger and broader thought process going on. I believe it's way beyond our level of comprehension. Everything on this planet communicates and I believe we're on the outside looking in

Let's look at the Facts shall we... Heaven has Angels playing Harps and Fairies floating around.. Hell has Gamblers, Hookers and Blow.. I know where I want to go. "Heaven for the scenery, Hell for the company!" ( Mark Twain? )

I was raised in a deeply religious home. And while I've sat in many a sermon on Sundays and have read the Bible a good bit and enjoyed it and still do. I absolutely feel closer to God 80' under the waves than I do anywhere else.
