alot of people wonder the same thing. i did for a really long time too. until i started talking to my boyfriend about it. he really made me realize alot. i made up my mind about wha ti belive, and i think it might be something you should hear.
::
the reason i didnt believe in God before, is because chirches and such misconstrew what religion is suppose to be about. Its suppose to be a series of beliefs and morals. values and practices set by a supernatural creator. not worshipping and giving money. (or molesting children, naught naught catholic priests XD) what i was told about religion, was totally different then what it really is. i was misinformed, not only by my parents and teachers but also by my friends. everyone kinda made it mandatory to believe in something. and thought of it as a personal attack on themselves if i didnt believe what they did. -cough you cough- and that turned me off of believing in God completly.
while reading books about different faiths, i came to the realization that different groups of people believe different thing ( i knew that already, but i came to a deeper understanding)
and i also talked to josh alot about the topic. he provided good evidence that there has to be a creator, like that if the big bang DID occur, where did teh matter that was banged together come from. also, how did it happen so perfectly that it formed life. stuff like that, he let me believe in my science and still be christian at teh same time basically.
i strongly believe in science, and i always will. but for those holes in my scientific theory, there are fillings in christianity, and for the holes in christianity, there are fillings from science.
so, all in all, i have decided that i DO believe in God. but i ALSO believe in science. i belive that God created teh elements and let them do the rest, and that God created organic material, and let it make life. so, i do believe in God. but i also believe in science. it was a comprimise to make. but it just makes more sense to me to believe in both.

thats what i think anyways. i guess it could make some sense to you.
cause i know that if you fear going to hell, then you do believe in some kind of divine power, but your just not sure.
so hope i helped



*to answer the other question*
no i havent really understood most of those stories. i just dont think they could actually happen. bushes dont burn and talk and stuff..
its more like god created everything, but he doesnt alter the way life will turn out.

thanks so much! that's pretty much how i've always felt.. but i'm always soooo unsure. so here's another question for you lol.. do you believe in the bible? things like noahs arc, and all the stories and stuff?

Ask me something, I'm knowledgeable.
