Strange events are excuses to believe in god, not proper reasons imo.

So what you're doing is admitting that your belief is irrational and doesn't have any evidence or personal religious experiences? Very well, I can understand that. The interesting thing is that this seems to be the case for most religious people. This supports the hypothesis that people are religious only because they have been brought up to be by their parents and the educational system.

Many people who have always been firm non-believers, still call for a priest on their death-bed. Plus, the promise of heaven is definitely more comforting than the fact that your body will be a worm-hive in a few years. XP

This saying from a non-believer, I might add. ;3

I think you're right about wishful thinking. I'd much rather believe in God, but I don't, as it doesn't make sense.

And I've heard of people losing their faith because of bad things happening to them or other people, not the other way around.

Back to the subject at hand, I think people should choose what they like. If they wish to believe in a god of some sort, why intervene? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, so there really shouldn't be a problem at all. I'm not in the mood to write a long essay now, but people who consistently try to convert Christians into atheists annoy the heck out of me.

I haven't cursed at all in this thread.

I don't.

I was obviously referring to people in the 'oh-this-argument-should-stop' dispute.**

I don't.

Did I say you did?***
