[quote:MHz:MV8yMTE5ODU4XzM1ODE5MzY3XzQwRTFGM0FF] [quote:Don'tBeAfraid:MV8yMTE5ODU4XzM1ODE5MDUxXzgwRTlCQjAx] Nonsense. The Bible is full of poetry. You're talking to a poet. It is remarkably lovely in places. [/quote] I don't dispute that, I was thinking more of verses like this. De:4:26: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. De:4:27: And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. De:4:28: And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. De:4:29: But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. De:4:30: When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; De:4:31: (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Proverb:8:32: Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Proverb:8:33: Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Proverb:8:34: Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. Proverb:8:35: For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. Proverb:8:36: But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. Re:18:11-13: And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

I'm an Atheist. Why should I believe in a god? Which god? and why?
I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you.
Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide.
