Not believing in the vacume cleaner doesn't make it go away..
look at all the cultures that have been raped of their gods, now they are just a footnote in the history book their god is dead and not worshiped anymore.
Just like with the norse gods, well we have had a revival of worshiping them in the later years though, but hadnt it been for those who wrote down the Norse mythology it would have been lost and thus dead cause nobody knew or believed in it anymore. Its the same with the biblical god written records of the faith in this god will keep that god alive as long as faith and the bible exist

So comparing a physical things like a vacume cleaner to that of a god wont do, the vacume we know exist, the god as long as not proven to exist exist in faith only. When that faith is gone then there aint no place for that god to exist.

in the real world where I live what the individual thinks does matter. I cant speak for religious la la land though, but your statement that what you think doesnt matter tells of a more of a mind controlling state. A state where you cant think for yourself cause you might stumble onto the truth and you cant have that cause that be the end of your religion

Look i dont know where you got that from but its wrong. Im not saying it cause it sounds good, or cause i like to say you are wrong or something but thats the truth. I dont know who YOUR God is, but i do know that my God isnt dependant on men!

for the 100th time your beliefs aint facts nor the truth, you believe in god want god to be real, but beside your faith in god you cant say others are wrong because it is all what we believe. So until someone can prove me wrong with substantial evidence of a god , no the bible and what you are convinced off aint evidence nor proof, I am not wrong......................oh and I dont have a god, dont need one

I have faith. I dont need to see God to know he exists. I have seen his works in my life!
And faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. By it men of old recieved devine approval. By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things that do not appear.
Hebrews 11:1-4
The Bible
Thnk about that. And if you dnt get it or and understand it...okay, i respect you r opinion.

And faith in the none existence is a nothing but a waste ............again faith alone cant prove gods existence so dont confuse the fact of knowing with hope. And as I said the bible is just a collection of hopeful writings, even the norse mythology was written down so maybe I should start quoting them. Wouldnt do any good but neither does the biblical quotes.
You say youve seen gods work in your life, well during my life, so far, I have had plenty of experinence that says ther is no god

Remember thats you. And God ONLY works in the lives of those that are willing to let him in their life. God doesnt force himself on people. It all depends on YOU.

But sometimes where logic fails faith succeeds. Everything is made so that it is in balance with one another. When logic is out of line, it's answers aren't fully explainable, and vice versa. But when faith is aligned with reason, answers are ascertained, and knowledge is received. It is very difficult to say that faith is in the fault, when science can not explain everything that happens around you. And we can't say faith is in the fault, for the answer to 1+1=2 and not God. It's logic and it's faith. But hoping for something to work, is putting faith in your talents and that of others. Ever thought of it that way?

Hoping for an A on a report or homework, or project is well having hope. Calming that emotion to know that you did your best and that you will get a good grade. That is faith. Telling yourself you know it will work is having faith.

Oh, I wish I lived in your fairy tale world. Grades are based on prayer?! Even in your world they are based on merrit. What total shit. I'm gonna turn in my assignment and hope I get a good grade. If I do, then it's because Jesus loves me?!? My God, what desperate place are you pulling from? That has to be one of the most ridiculous examples I've EVER heard.

I got the grade I deserved. It was all up to me, I never walked around dazed and confused hoping for a grade. I always did my best. I took pride in it and my grades came because of my self dicipline to never slack off on projects, homework and tests in school regardless how hard or easy the task was.

Again, thats you. God does NOT force himself on people because he is not just someone who gives out like Santa Claus.

St. Nicolas did exsit. But Santa Clause is an ideal. The ideal that for one day, we think of others and preform charitable acts of sharing items and time with one another.
