Yes. I had a long bout of atheism from 13 to about 24 after I got involved in my local Church. I took a hard look at the way my life was going and decided to surrender my life to Christ after a lengthy period of volunteer work. I can’t say I have all the answers but I do find a lot of Christian apologetics very compelling.

It’s a shame that discussions get so venomous over the question, it feels like there’s a lot of bad actors on both sides who aren’t interested in The Truth and everyone comes out of it hurt.

Short answer "yes" with an "if". Long answer "no" with a "but".

No. There's no evidence for the existence of god, why would I believe in it?

I think this short video explain it all, with the wise words of Alan Watts.

The concept of God that is managed today is nothing more than the fruit of the manipulation created by all monotheists throughout the centuries ... mainly the Church, the largest company and the greatest mafia that has existed for centuries.

God was something brought to upset the plebe and give hope to the slaves of the time. and later the concept of God was brought to the Americas to control and manipulate residents.

Yes. I'm not sure if what other people believe God is is what I believe God is, especially because the defining characteristic of God for me is that God can't be known in precise, scientific ways, but they are at least similar.

Yes I do. I believe in the LORD, who is the one who is, the before and after, the God of creation. I see everything as evidence of the LORD. His law is written within and without on all of his work. We are his wayward children who have failed to follow his law. Instead we choose to know good and evil, and thus we see a lot of suffering and evil in the world that would not otherwise exist.

My God is the one who sent his Son Jesus Christ to us 2000 years ago. Jesus followed the law perfectly to fulfill it and the prophets. He allowed us to put him to death by unjust torture and crucifixion. He did this for our sake and in our place as a sacrifice for our law-breaking. You can read more about what his message is in the bible, look up the book "Matthew" or "John" in any translation you prefer.

It is a short read- see what you think about the story of Jesus as you read it- these books are included in classical education as philosophy and ethics. The message and teachings are very valuable, even if you do not believe the story is "real" at first.

There are however, legitimate and proven historical records of the life of Jesus. There are witnesses that saw and stayed with him AFTER his death and resurrection on the third day.

This image was created by a flash of light so bright it imprinted a photographic negative on rough cloth, at the moment of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead.

Short answer: no.

I dont need to believe, I know. (From Carl Jung, but it applies.) I'll add that seeking God is the through action and more action, and there is no 'end game' where I've found enough. If my small brain could comprehend a Higher Power in its totality, then It wouldn't be that great.

Yes, I am Catholic

All is one evolving process, whatever you call it

(I can translate if needed)

People individually are weak and vulnerable. Religion gives a narrative upon which to form groups and have strength. Religion and politics are thus closely aligned-rulers like to claim authority from God/s. Algorithms look like they have the potential to displace religions as they enable human organisation and structure.

I don't know what to believe for certain or with any level of steadfast faith but I think something exists beyond our capacity to understand.
