I used to consider my self an atheist until I saw the light. Now, in my heart I feel I know god but in my mind I can't logically accept it.

Well as it is written, You light a candle to put it upon the stand, not beneigh a basket. I agree with you Jesus lived a life worthy of examplifying how be should live. One does not have to belief in GOD to accept & seek to do likewise.
But a paradox may arise when you seek a relationship with His Father, GOD? Then still it is worthy of the effort.

seems like that is simply going from being an atheist to being a believer, which happens often

If god has not been proved or disproved then whats the point of being religous or an atheist, if you find strength in god then that must be a positive for the person, but whats the point in spending your time even thinking about the possibility of gods or ridiculing beievers if your an atheist, isnt it just a waste of time and a negative? But surely the fact that humans believed in gods and god for centuries says something about the evolution of the human psyche. Are all atheists scientific fact people, or do they find strength in wild unproved theories of dimensions not yet proved?

I know what you mean, look at Darwin's Theory of Evolution. I wonder at the zealious of Christians denying it untill I realized that many ppl conception of what Darwin was extending was 'that man came from the ape & man made in GOD's image, therefore GOD is an ape? Personally I never thought of GOD as man or ape so such considerations never held any valid point to begin with
yet it became a long disputed point of contention for many.

One thing stuck out at me in this entire thread.
"We are human, GOD is not." - Cturtle

"God created man in his image." Therfore, are men not Gods? Or maybe I'm mistaken? Maybe "Image" is taken to mean "looks like" not "copy of"

.... just wondering.

I did some cerious study into various religions including Christianity. The Bible states that GOD made (created) man from the dust (substance) of His Creation. It also states that man was given a soul, ie. man is a living soul? So is the image the physical body or the soul? [The soul belongs to GOD]

So God's image, is Man's soul? The body is simply the vessel for God's image until it can enter heaven?

Why does there even need to be a life? Why can't souls just enter heaven pre-sin? The whole human life thing makes everything more difficult.

Eh, the bible imply it is in the inherent sin nature of our being.
Just as man is dominent in this world promotes wars and murder, etc,.so we must overcome this nature in order to gain (obtain) the next level of existence?

I would rather have comfort in my life with my belief in God, than have no comfort in the up and coming death we all will go thru.

What does it hurt to believe...nada!

What does it hurt to NOT believe.....TONS!

Just an observation..

You will realize that a majority of athiests are depressed or insecure. I myself became an athiest for about a week, and boy was it terrible! I lost purpose in life, became depressed, even thought of suicide! Thats why I cant imajine anyone not beleiving in anything. You must have faith, if not in God, then in 'a' god, or something like that.

I urge all athiests to meditate. Read and implement books on spirituality. Read 'the power of now', any athiest who reads it, will look at marvel at a ant, and realize Gods power.

However, it is also a common case, that the more religious you are, the more insecure you are. Meaning that people who are generally not confident of themselves and need something to hold on to, generally tend to become religious.
