See, there's that hardened heart and closed mind at work...lol
Further evidence that you do not want there to be a God.

Its important to remember that the Bible was a negotiated piece of literature. A group of various christian groups compromised and decided what was and wasn't in it. Which in my opinion means alot when we are talking about the possibility of the divine. Why would you compromise on your beliefs if you knew 100% you were right?
There were gospels that were not included that have been uncovered. Including exploits from Mary herself. Mary is one of the most interesting figures in the christian faith. She was so controversial that the church deemed her a prostitute even though they knew that was not true... why would they do that? They did it because she was a direct challenge of Jesus's divinity. And of course have since dropped that rumor.
Religion like anything evolves over time and things change. Look at basketball for example.... the game has come a long way from the game that Naismith invented.
Whether a god exists is not really that important... even though it typically is the number one issue in religious debates such as this.
There are the following possibilities:
1. God exists as written in the christian faith
2. God exists as written in another religious faith
3. God exists in a way completely different from what we understand
4. There are many gods... a higher race of beings
5. No god exists period
6. Something my primitive mind hasn't said or can't comprehend
If people would spend more time understanding and living by the teachings of christ and other men of peace and tolerance the world would be a much better place. You don't need god to a religious man or a moral man. Be the best person you can be and I suspect things will workout in the end whether a god exists or not

Like I said in my last post on the previous page, you need a miracle in your life because nothing we say will change your hardened heart and stubborn mind.
Who created this computer programme? Is this computer programme in our realm or a supernatural realm?
A mutlitude of reasons
1. Man doesnt want to be told what to do.
2. Man doesnt want to be told what is right or wrong
3. Man wants to fulfill his own evil desires
4. Man doesnt want to answer to anyone but himself
The list goes on and on....
Man doesnt to have a guilty feeling of performing wrongful deeds, that is why they supress the truth so they dont have guilty feelings.....
The biggest issue why man doesnt God is because of PRIDE...

Ok, good...So i would say you are more on the agnostic side than atheistic....
I have always said that while i believe there are very poweful signposts that point to God, ie moreso that dont, the belief is ultimately based on faith.....

yeah, i surveyed everyone on the earth...
How often does man think of there own death? Very very very rarely. Man is more concerned about now, the very present. Death is very much on the backburner. Man is more concerned about there immediate desires and do immora thingsl to achieve these desires. Therefore, not only does man supress the truth about God existing BUT also man does not want the feeling that someday they will have to answer for his bad deeds one day to WHICH WE HAVE ALL COMMITED. So they convince themselves God doesnt exist to remove this fear....Man would much rather die, ie, no after life, than to face the reprecussion of there sins...
If i could conduct an experiement, i wonder what the difference would be if everyone thought God was just a God of love, ie, do what you want, when you want, how you want and no matter what , you will end up in heavan (which is what you are trying to sell here when you say, "why wouldnt anyone want to believe")......Rather than the real God, the Christian God who is a God of love AND a God of wrath,. A God that judges rightly good and bad?
I bet if peoples ONLY concept of God was the former, i would think that the results would be staggering...
What are these reasons that make you conclude that it is unlikely?
