Hi, I was raised by atheist parents and became an agnostic when i started to be a scientist.
I would like to have a discussion about God with some rational believers. I wont be offensive and i will carefully read your arguments. Try to convince me to start believing if you will.
I don't understand why i should go from "i don't know if there is a god" to "i am convinced there is a god". if god would talk to me, and present him to me, then i would happily start believing. But that didnt happen yet, nor do i know anyone who has spoken to god. The only "evidence" are ancient text. and there are many different such texts about god that all talk about it differently.
I heavily believe in the big bang, for example, as i have actual evidence that suggests the big bang. I'm fine with the possibility that a "god" or a higher power caused the big bang. But then I don't see why this god should talk to us specifically, when he could as well talk to any other of the infinitely many planets. And why would he talk us into fighting, by allowing different religions.
>only my religion is true
But why do you think so? There is a strong correlation between the believes among generations of the same people, so you are mostly just accepting the word of your parents.
