Either God is a fact and exists or He does not. If He exists, no amount of denial will cause Him to disappear. If He does not exist, no amount of belief will create Him. I used to have faith in Jesus Christ. I counted myself a faithful Christian. Then, in an amazing split second in which God showed me His entire creations, I could no longer have faith. Instead, I had knowledge. God is all about glories and miracles that He creates because He loves us. When I pray to Him, I pray for patience for our country.
no.
God is real! His Son Jesus Christ sacrificed His life to redeem and reconcile fallen man to God, their eternal Father!
It matters not what one believes in the end, if truth is not what he believes....the consequences will be there to face. We must hope that what we believe is true and search until we are confident and assured that it is!
We all need to believe in something in order to Be. We all need belief to rediscover ourselves and our spirituality.
