Default Re: What's your religion and why?

There is no *clear* evidence that there is a God. There is also no evidence that God does not exist. To atheists: You say that you refuse to believe that which you cannot prove; and yet you believe that there is no God, and you cannot prove that. It seems that if you require proof, you should be an agnostic. The statement that there is nothing other than what we can see seems an arrogant and untenable statement. I am very uncomfortable with religious people who claim that they are absolutely right and everyone else is doomed to eternal torture. I am equally uncomfortable with those who claim that there is no God and anyone who believes in God is stupid. Personally I think there must be a higher power of some kind. I cannot believe that the universe generated itself, or that it is eternally existent. It's much nicer to my mind to think that something/someone created it all. Either point of view is equally unprovable. I also like to believe that there is a powerful, intelligent, benevolent God who watches out for me. Maybe that's just a "security blanket," but it seems right and I think there is some vague evidence which may suggest that's right.

Just my two cents.
