Default Gallup: Poll Finds Americans' Belief in God Remains Strong

Dan,
I don't believe everyone needs to have faith in God or that Jesus Christ was
the son of God. I would say that everyone should follow the teachings of
Jesus Christ, because his teaching were wise before his time and provides a
solid foundation for society. I also don't believe anyone should make fun
of someone else's religion. I don't point out the inconsistencies in
anyone's religion, and they all have them.

For some reason many of the atheist and agnostics in this group don't feel
comfortable enough with their beliefs unless they make fun of the Christian
beliefs.

Show me one bit of pure scientific proof that god exists, and I'll
believe it. I'm not good at believing in things not verifiable,
especially when it's purpose is profit. Santa Clause? Tooth Fairy?


Would you be able to prove to an ant or some insect how DNA sequencing
works?

Same for us. We are not equipped to comprehend how God could exist, we
just need to believe it. Hence the premise of belief.

Do YOU believe in the tooth
fairy? How about Santa Claus?


No , but I DO believe in a Universal Creator, an Omni-present being, ie
a "God"

To be more directive, the Judeo-Christian "God"

A also believe that God is a "He" and has an only begotten Son, Jesus,
whos is also "Christ".

If you don't want to believe in such, it's not my business, nor my
problem.

Amazing how you want to make my beliefs a problem of yours
