Give me one good reason to believe in God

Besides;
He will punish me if I don't.

We're all afraid of dying.
It doesn't mean you have to come up with a reason why you were here in the first place.
Face it, when you're dead,
you're dead!
Opinions?

Lock please.

Just read the other religious debate threads. It always comes to the same conclusion, and no one is ever going to change their mind.

What you have are personal, subjective experiences that, while -you- know they are fact to YOU, we have no way to actually corroborate them.

Where this gets applied in the thread is when someone says something like "For my given subjective reasons, this is a belief that I feel is very strongly correct" but since it's your own subjective and personal reasons educating your belief, those of us who don't accept your reasons can therefore also not accept your conclusion. While a true conclusion can be potentially arrived at from faulty premises, we still need to produce the same conclusion from valid premises before we know it's actually a true conclusion.

I don't think anybody was telling you what you should believe, so much as telling you that they think you have no justifiable reasons to believe what you DO believe. And as long as you are content to not be able to convince others of the correctness of your position, all you need are the reasons that are good enough for you. But if you -do- want to convince others of the correctness of your position, you'll need reasons that are good enough for -them- as well.

Also, requesting locks, posting 'in before lock' or otherwise telling the staff to lock threads is against the rules and I could day-ban all of you.

For next time, just -ignore bad CT threads- and let a mod know there's one going on and we can lock it.
