Thread Name: BS: One compelling reason for a god?
Subject: RE: BS: One compelling reason for a god?
You asked, Fergie, "Why should I believe there is such a thing as a God?"

There IS no reason, in my opinion, why you should, any more than there's a reason why you should like green shirts or fly radio control airplanes. It's optional. You are entirely free to believe or not believe that there is such a thing as a God. No penalties are attached to this matter. It's up to you.

If you meant, "What evidence is there that would convince me that there is a God?", well, that depends on you, not on the evidence. Different people are responsive to different forms of evidence, and we all have our own unique way of dealing with personal experiences. If your unique way convinces you that there is no God, fine!....that, again, is entirely up to you.

This Universe is not a spiritual dictatorship that demands obedience to party line. You can believe whatever the heck you want to, as far as I'm concerned.
