if that's what you think, but my question didn't say please tell me what I should believe in God. I asked why SOMEONE (preferable you) believes in God. But stating someone can still allow for an athiest to state their opinion as to why their best friend bible banger believes.
In fact if that's truly what I wanted to know, then that's how I should have framed my sentence.
I don't believe in God, Why do YOU believe in God?
Now, there will still be the off person who will say,"Which God? Why God why not Allah?" etc. etc. etc.
But that's the nature of discussion. That's the nature of people. When I answered this initially did I know I would get bombarded? No. In fact the more I try to control this conversation by answering it, the more direction turn it goes that I don't want it to.
In real life face to face conversation do you appreciate when someone walks up to you starts with a subject asking you a question for your opinion and when you are done walks off?
