Do you see the implication of that statement? It is implying that anyone who DOES believe in God is being un-reasonable and irrational. Or at least it can be interpreted that way.

Yes, I understand that you can see it that way. I didn't see it like that, but I can understand you understood it like that.

You asked why Christians keep trying to convince you that God exists. The answer is two-fold. First, the Bible commands us to tell the Good News of God and Jesus. The second reason is that our relationship with God is SO exciting, we want everyone to experience it.

I don't want to be misunderstood here. I didn't say why 'Christians' keep trying to convince me. I didn't want to focus on one religion. I tried to focus on all by saying 'gods' and 'a god'.
Except when I asked Yorick personally, because I know he's Christian. [img]smile.gif[/img] Just so that people will understand I wasn't discussing A religion but religionS. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice post otherwise. [img]smile.gif[/img] As I said before, I understand why people believe, and I accept it. And I appreciate that you understand how I can feel a bit annoyed sometimes when people try to convince me to believe differently. [img]smile.gif[/img]
