I do not believe God* exists. However, I know many people who do.
I always ask them, “Why do you believe that?”, because to me that’s the most interesting question. I figure the default state is to not believe, and that something happens in ones life that makes one a believer: Tragedy, some desire, some miracle... Most of the time the answers I receive are illogical, meaning that the stated reason for the belief does not justify the belief.
So my question is, to the believers... What has happened in your life to cause you to believe that at God exists? And just to be clear I am not trying to cause trouble or be a jerk. I am genuinely curious.
* “God” being defined as some intelligent being outside of our natural world, who judges and makes things happen and such. And I am not saying that he definitely does not exist, I am just saying I have never found evidence or reason to believe, just like I don’t believe a purple bunny lives in my freezer, though I guess it could be true...
