"God" doesn't expect us to believe in things we cannot prove. Church men expect us to believe in things we cannot prove. They expect us to to abrogate our thinking and succumb to a magical, invisible authority whose voice is through them. If you're busy worried about being holy enough for the invisible sky fairy, you're probably too pre-occupied to notice that the man in the dress is really telling you weird stories while his friends abuse your kids. That's how they make their living, and that's what they want to do: control you, your money, and your life. That's the power they seek. If we assume there is a God, it would make no sense that a divine being would create free-thinking creatures and then punish them for using the gifts given to them. A just god doesn't want people to believe, it wants people to decide things based on evidence and reason using the mental faculties it bestowed upon its creation. An UNJUST god might want irrational toadying, but then again, an unjust god isn't worthy of worship really... If there's no god, or proceeding without the assumption of a god, then the question is moot. You shouldn't believe things with no evidence because by doing so you're turning off your brain - never a good thing. Either way, you shouldn't believe in things that can't be proven, or at least shown to be highly probable based on the available evidence.

Dear Friend, Yes, God is spirit. But He created man to have a "peresonal relationship" with Him. Adam and Eve were His humans created in "His" image (spirit and flesh). They rebelled against God's standard of living and so 'broke' that intimate relationship with a Holy God, and the earth has since been cursed.Now the only way to reconcile man back into right standing was for Him to come clothed as man (Jesus Christ) and become the perfect sacrificial Lamb for OUR sin. Because man is both flesh and spirit, we cannot come to God in the natural, but in the spirit to receive Him. We have to agree with Him that we indeed are sinners and need a Savior, Jesus Christ. God will bring us back into right standing with Him, if we surrender our will over to Him and allow Him to mold us into His character. To live for Him and we will reign in glory with Him for..eternity. Now I can't speak for anyone else, but myself. So, let me tell you my dear friend. God is very real. I have 'that' personal relationship with my Savior. He speaks to me in the spirit and I know His voice. His Word will even tell you that Jesus said, "My sheep will 'know' my voice." There are many things that God wants to reveal to us. But we can't come to a "holy" God on OUR terms. We must come before a Holy, Just, and Righteous God, on HIS terms! May the "living" God, Jesus Christ reveal Himself to..YOU!

I cant explain it properly, but i believe that everything is the same, and i mean everything.. Simple example: Like water can be liquid, ice or vapour, but its all still known as water if you know what i mean.. So depending on where somethings environment or condition is, is how its going to be.. Basically everything natural, no matter what it is, for instance: A tree would be the same thing as a flower or an insect or an animal or bacteria or humans, but we're all just our own version of the same thing.. Not in an evolution way but more in a way where no matter how you appear at present is still the same even though we appear to look different.. No matter how many times i try to explain it, i still cant, hope you understood..

Q1 - I respect everyone's opinion on what they believe will happen when we die. I have more atheist friends than I do Christian ones. They give me their views and I and give them mine they seem to be interested and so am I about them. Q2 - To doubt is human we doubt everything at one point or another but I guess the more time you spend with God and the more you go through the less you doubt. Q3 - As said before to doubt is human so no I am not afraid that because of my doubts I will be punished. God is mercy right so a God of mercy knows that we will fall short of his glory but he still loves us because we try our best in life. Bonus question - Well if you believe in Jesus for salvation then you get eternal life in a spiritual seance and go to the spiritual realm of heaven. And if you don't believe in Jesus for salvation there will be judgement by God. I can not say if you will go to hell or not as I don't actually know only God does. Good question.
