Why would anyone really think God exists? ... or even believe in Religion?
Sikotic™:
All denominations and religions aside, I believe in a divine creator based on common logic.
Someone/something had to create this world, this universe we live in. You look around in today's society, buildings have to be built, they do not just develop over hundreds of millions of years. Factories to not run on their own, people have to keep it running and maintain it. Cars and airplanes do not just come together over long periods of time, to believe that would be simply illogical.
So with that, I just cannot believe that this world was developed over hundreds of millions of years by shear luck. Even if the world came together by chance, why does it run like a well oiled machine? I think it takes more faith to believe that than all of the religions combined.
I don't know how anyone can go outside, look around at his environment, and believe that it all came together by chance.

When I was in doubt, that argument was the only reason I even gave God a second thought.

Yeah, I think of that pretty much daily. I'm a hippie, though.

yeah like sikotik said, even if the world came together by chance how does and DID it get so complex and work so well.
also on another tip, i've noticed
many people who really believe in and follow god really live happier lives than those who don't

.. to me, the whole reason for the fact that happy ppl most frequently give a fuck about praying and ppl with a fucked up life or many problems most frequently pray every day, is simple.
you know the saying "Opium for the People" -- religion is like a drug for the poor. When you have nothing in life, you pray to god cause an imaginary figure is all you can rely on in life, sad as it may sound.
