I didnt grow up religious to anything except once in a while my dad would tell me about buddah or the dalai lama. Meanwhile sometimes my sister would rant about how she doesnt get how people think god exists. But really if you think logically how does any of these things make sense. Someone once told me that if you read the bible then you go to heaven and if you never do then you go to hell. I have never studied Christianity so i wouldnt know if this is how they think or not. Also if this is true what if you were a super amazing person but you never read the bible. What real god would care if you read a long book. Also if you actually think about it heaven actually is not that good. Think about it at first it would be awesome but if everything is perfect then it would get boring. And you would basically live your life in bordem. Once again not trying to offend people just asking a question.
Okay I am just going to say it out loud why do people belive in god!?

In order to think logically we must have faith that there are laws of logic which correctly prescribe the correct chain of reasoning. Since laws of logic cannot be observed with the senses, our confidence in them is a type of faith.
If there is rightness, then there must be a God of rightness.
Science is anything that can be measured. Spirit is anything that can not be measured. The only way we can know anything about the spirit realm is if some spirit chooses to reveal it to us. All the revelations have been collected into a book. You can read it for yourself and decide if you believe it or not. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians.
TIP: If you do this for a few weeks you will know more bible than the average minister. That is because ministers don't study the bible, they only study other people's opinions ABOUT the bible.
I believe in God because he is the Grand Creator of all things. Without him there would be nothing. To read the Bible is to get to know God, his attributes, his love and his purpose for this world.
We live in a wicked world. Everywhere there is poverty, sickness, death and war.
Do you think God intended man to live this way?
If you read the Bible, you will see that in the very beginning, everything was created perfect. Man was created perfect. He was not made to grow old and die.
So why do we grow old and die?
Again, if you read the Bible you will see why.
What about those who have already died? Will they live again?
You say you think you would be bored living in heaven.
Where is Heaven? Who lives there?
Again, the answers are in the Bible.
Think of all the things you would love to do but can’t for one reason or another. Just imagine, in a perfect world you would have all the time you wanted to do everything you ever wanted to do. Learn things, explore things, go places. The possibilities are endless!
