Hitoast's advice column

I'm catholic, I even attended a catholic school [K-2grade] I'm 13 now and I don't really believe in God. Actually I'm not that sure anymore. I would like to believe in him but I just don't. So I was wondering if there is like any proof in God. Like how do people know he did exist. Because right now I'm on the lines of believing in evolution because its the only one they have actual proof on and it makes sense. Also, I'd like to add how none of the stories are actually possibe. Like the story about that guy getting swallowed by the whale its impossibe, which leads me to believe God doesn't exist and he's jus a bunch of stories and myths.

I feel the same way, it's actually a religion called being agnostic. Personally, I find it so hard to believe because there is no proof. The person below me said there are pictures of Jesus but I have to disagree. A person in a picture is just a person. It doesn't prove that the man is Jesus or that all the stories are true. I mean, really I think it's rather odd that in almost every religion with one or more gods, the stories related to the religion are very very unbelievable. Like the greek gods, for example. It would be physically impossible for Zeus to give birth to Athena from his forehead. Like christianity, many of those stories are just plain impossible. Also, if there was a "God" of some kind, to me he sounds pretty harsh. I mean, if you've ever read the bible, God sentences the entire human civilization to pain and evils and sin just because 2 people no one even knew decided to eat fruit from a tree. Plus, God damns people to hell just for being gay, if you believe in that. I think that is stupid, he created mankind and if he didn't want people to be like that, he could have made us differently. Everything just sounds like a big story to me. I'm not sure what I believe, but I do know that I don't want to waste my life away trying my best to resist temptations and do everything right just to find out that God doesn't exist. I've also thought before, what if there is a god, but we're not worshipping the right one? Then we'd all be damned just because we didn't know any better. According to the bible, that's how it is for a lot of people. Some of those poor starving people from Africa will go to hell just because they'd never heard of God. It's like getting an F on a quiz because the teacher never taught you the material. Personally, I don't believe there is proof and I think christianity came to be as a result of boredom and imagination waay back when life was dull. Hope I helped!
