I am a devout christian, and I can say to you that there isn't any real evidense that he is real. But you have to believe and trust him and after awhile you know he is real.

Well thank goodness you weren't born to a family of Scientologists.  Or Buddhists, Hindus.... etc etc.
Luckily you were born in the exactly right place to sponge up the teachings of the one true God - born somewhere else you could strapping explosives to your chest right this moment.

Edit:  If that comes across as too hash, my point is if you leave your moral compass up to something as
capricious as an unquestionable belief, you are basically throwing the dice.  You can feel as smug as you like if you feel your beliefs happen to coincide with a faith that has decent morals, but whether someone ends up a Buddhist that wouldn't harm a fly or a radical Muslim that would happily strap a bomb to a child's chest, both of them feel just as smug and morally righteous as you do.

I don't believe in God because all of the pain and suffering around the world that a 'just and merciful god' should prevent.  If there turns out to be a god I'll more then happily spend eternity in hell because your god has a lot of explaining to do.
You don't mean that. Hell is beyond your comprehension, so don't claim to gladly go there.

I'll gladly go to hell, if it exists. All the interesting people will be in there. Plus, Satan can't be that bad. I mean, what the hell, he used to be an angel. A being made of purity and goodness must have some sense of decency, or maybe he'll at least give us a day off the torment once every hundred thousand millennia or so.
Hitler, Ghengis Khan, Ed Gein, Charles Manson....

I can get Hitler and Charles Manson, but Genghis Khan? Seriously, even if he went to hell(which he did, on second thought, being the dirty unwashed heathen that he is), he was not a bad person per se. He united the tribes of mongolia and established an empire encompassing almost all of Asia, which demeaned the importance of ethnicity and instead established a system of meritocracy. Anyway, my point is that these men you describe, with the possible exception of Genghis, are what society in general describes as "evil" men. That's what I find so interesting about them. I am pretty sure that Hitler, to mention one, wasn't all that bad before his rise to political power. I want to know what causes a failed artist to turn into an anti-Semitic dictator waging a war on the world and killing millions of innocent people. I also want to meet Himmler, and ask him what the fuck he was smoking.

Genghis Khan enjoyed watching the families of people he killed weep in front of him, then he would kill them too.

Don't cry for me King Man, I'm perfectly willing to go to Hell if that's what my moral beliefs require of me.   :)

Out of curiosity, what gives you the impression I'm hell bound anyway?  It's not like I said anything that everybody doesn't already know....

Yeah, he's probably going to hell.   You'd pretty much have to be part of the Spanish Inquisition to do that sort of thing and still get into heaven.

How can someone condemn themselves? 

We all just live our lives, it's the guy upstairs (should he exist) that does the actual condemning.  You can believe he'd condemn someone for being skeptical, raising logical questions, etc if you like but that's just your opinion.

Dear Shredderbeam,
You wanted solid proof that God exists, right?
Well, I will not tell you read the scripture then you will get a feeling.
God gave us a brain, so we must use it. We cannot take faith by vague statements like they say in the church "just have faith" nor should we expect anyone to simply read the scripture and just get a feeling. You may know that every religion on earth has very strong feelings, but since many of them have a definition of god that is contrary to the others, then they cannot all be right ....

Some of them worship the devil as god ... some say God is impersonated with the head of an elephant, some say god is 3 in 1 ..... and believe you me, they ALL have very strong feelings in what they believe.
What all this means is that feelings can be misleading.
The only solid faith can only be a rational one. One that is arrived at through mental verification rather than whimsical feelings.

Nor should we adopt a faith through inheritance ...... just because our parents had a certain faith is no guarantee whatsoever that that faith is the truth.

When we use our brains we find that the proofs of the exitence of God are endless.
If you want some of the scientific proofs please see the following page,

http://www.quran-islam.org/80.html

good luck in your search,
Muhammad

What exactly did I misunderstand about Christianity? 3 in 1 is not a phrase I made up. It is the core of the Trinity concept.
For your information, the word TRINITY is not found in the Bible, it was never taught by Jesus, and it was formulated 3 centures after Jesus at the council of Nicaea in 325 AD.

<<<<I don't know what trinity concept your refering to. Do you mean "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost"?>>>>>

Is there another religious concept called TRINITY? yes , the concept of the TRINITY, which was adopted in the council of Nicaea , 325 years AFTER Jesus (as I wrote in previous email) says that God is 3 in 1 .... the father, the son and the holy spirit .... all equal , substance from substance. Only people who studied the history of Christianity know these historical facts. This concept was never taught or advocated by Jesus, and the word TRINITY itself is NOT in the Bible.
Moreover, if you value the words uttered by Jesus you will see that they actually prove that this adopted concept is false.
Jesus said "my father is greater than I" (John 14:28)..... this is quite the opposite to the false claim of the trinity concept that all 3 are equal.

Does God exist?  If so, how do we know?
i believe he does exist, but we don't know for sure, thats where faith comes in.

None of the rules changed, there are just different interpretations. Do I have to spoon feed you, or can you think for yourself like a big boy?

Jesus allowed himself to be sacrificed, because in order for your sins to be forgiven there has to be a sacrifice.

That rule still applies. Therefore believing in jesus is necessary for your sins to be forgiven, because if not, you do not have a sacrifice.

Please don't bring up some bull shit about the rules being changed. Finally, just because you argue with an idiot (read as: kingman) does not mean that is a fair representation of our religion.

No. Who said god died? They physical manifestation of god may have become temporarily non living.

And really since he brought himself back to life, no they couldn't.
