Sorry, but you THINK this. You have no PROOF of it. There is nothing you can provide to PROVE otherwise. All you can do is take anecdotal evetns and CLAIM they were because of some godly intervention. But there will not be a single verifyable event which can not be easily explained by completely NATURAL events.

Yes you can decide to ignore this and continue to blindly accept such fallacious causality. That is your right. But do not decieve yourself to think that everyone will allow such lack of Critical Thinking in their lives.

Why is it that people can't acept god...(atheists)(_sorry about spelling if wrong) Why do u feel there is no god...then what do u beleive? -to all the atheists out there
Which one? Zuess? Magni? Isis? Mithra? ... YOU reject these and over 1,000 more. I use the same process you do to reject these thousand+ and merely add one more to the list. For the SAME reasons. This havs nothing to do with what I 'feel" or "believe".

Do you "believe" in a refrigerator? Of course not. You KNOW a refrigerator exists. "Belief" is only used when there is no VALID reason to accept the existence of something. As such, I do not BELIEVE in anything. I ACCEPT (for convenience) things when there is enough VALID support for it.

However, I am always open to VALID SUPPORTABLE evidence which would show me that a god existes. In fact I would like to see a defination of a god that is not filled with internal contraditions and does not conflict with logic and reality. I have never found one that even gets close. And I can not find ANY reason why one would even want the monster that is the biblical god to be the real one. I wouldn't even want him as a neighbor, much less a god.

And other religions? How do they identify to christanity?
Christianity is a combination of prior religions. It offers nothing new nor unique. It's customs and traditions are based mainly on pagan traditions and customs.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
