God does exist here is my nonbiblical reason:

    I was also wondering if everyone here is atheist?

    Nope. I am not set on my beliefs atm. If parts of the bible (or books of the bible or statements) are from a or the God, I don't think every part is. Like Pauls letters, etc, many parts read like a normal letter. The bible itself has scriptures saying how the scribes have written falsehood into it, and I believe the scripture on making sure of all things is even talking about the scriptures themselves. Jesus told the pharasees they wouldn't get life in the book either.

    Now aside from all religious books, if none even existed, and based on what is known scientifically itself, I don't believe random events resulted in all life on Earth. Even if a God as people imagine would not have done it, it would be easier for me to believe that scientists from another world started life here. Many say that doesn't solve anything but if life on Earth was truly started by other life, then trying to find an answer that doesn't exist won't help. At the least I see ourselves as biological robots and if we made actual machine robots that were programmed to reproduce, fix themselves, etc, continually learn, etc, then thousands or millions of years from now they could be trying to reason how metals randomly formed together and made basic circuits, etc, and eventually evolved into advanced robots. But the truth would be they came about from us, so for the origin of life they'd have to know about us and what we know about our origins, etc to get closer to the answer.

    Now just as in your life, in my life many things have happened time and again that seem too coincidental, as if there our outside forces having come control of things and making things work out, etc.

    Also almost every religion seems to teach the golden rule and about being good to everyone.

    I am living my life as if this is it, but not greedily or selfishly, trying to be a good person while living life to the fullest. I've thought of many scenarios for God not directly showing himself to the whole world where the whole world is in awe and have absolutely no doubt of him, such as this life being a test or middle ground, etc, so I hope there is more after this and at the same time I'm living life as if this is it to enjoy it as much as I can.

    Any books or links I should check out

    I would recommend Richard Dawkins' books, which explain why evolution is true. Maybe start with that.

    I'm Christian and also believe in evolution, it doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other unless you're a fundamentalist.

    Curious, good luck to you on your journey. You can come talk anytime.

    They said it was not God because he does not communicate with humans anymore. And I was like....??? Extremely confused because how then does he communicate with the JW leaders?

    Hi Curious Kitten and welcome. The statement above from the JW you know proves how mixed up this religion is. They have no idea how their leaders are writing the literature. They just don't think about it even though they think they are being led by God. Please don't stay around this religion. I'm glad you're not going to get baptised

    i hope you won't do drugs any more, you could have killed yourself. When you told friends at school that you don't have a dad, that God is your dad, it shows you are looking for love, as you said yourself in your post. Religions like the JWs love bomb new people to get them to join, then when they are baptised the love stops and they just keep beating you with all the endless rules and judgement.

    Just keep away from drugs and find some friends who can show you genuine affection. Stick around there are some friendly people here.

    Drugs, when properly used, are awesome. This is not an example of proper use.

    (sigh) I just wish God would just show himself already and set matters straight for once and for all because obviously the Bible did not work...too many people have "revised" it or it has falsehood in it just like Endofmysteries points out .

    & If he does not exist then.................

    Anyway I will start researching thank you all for helping/leading me on my journey :)

    Welcome Kitten. Please take your time and enjoy your journey.

    You are still young and have plenty of time to explore. Faith and spirituality is a very personal thing. You will have to decide for yourself what is best for you.

    I do agree with the advice to do your own research before you commit to any organization religious or other wise.

    If you choose to believe in a higher power, that is your personal decision and choice. There are many people of faith who have a balanced and happy life.

    There are also many who choose to live a life of logic and do not believe in a higher power and are happy with their life.

    I personally believe you need to be balanced and open minded what ever path you choose. Just be true to yourself and dont allow anyone to bully or influence you from what is best for you. Remember take your time.

    Have an exciting and enlightening journey.

    I have occasionally used recreational drugs. It was a pleasant experience. Many of my friends use recreational drugs responsibly and enjoy them. Just like anything else, they shouldn't be used by people that can't handle them. Some people can't drink, gamble, or have sex without it becoming a problem, same for drugs.
