my thoughts, true, short & quick:
Jesus did exist.
God doesnt exist.

Nobody knows if God exists or not. That's why we call it "BELIEF". It's your choice to believe in it or not. Nobody is telling you he does or does not exist. So, I respect an atheist's view, as long as he respects mine. :)

not everybody calls it believe. for instance, a homie who's in scientology is always like:
*he sayin some freaky ish*
me: " do you really believe in this?!"
he: "no.. I dont believe. I know."
anyways, we have a few interesting posts concerning this. maybe you read some topics here, like the one with that is like "atheists please read" or something

That's your friend. God isn't seen physically, so there is no way to know 100%; however, I believe he does exist, but that's just my BELIEF.
Yes I did read that thread, and it shows how religion described phenomena that science explained hundreds of years later. :)
