You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion. I am trying to understand why it's so easy for many to believe and I don't.

Yup. Faith is nothing more than a trust in belief.Isn't The Bottom Line Of All Faith A Matter Of Belief?
Their personal needs exceed what they believe to be the importance of reason and logic.I am trying to understand why it's so easy for many to believe and I don't.
And ain't they lucky. They get to go to hell for all eternity. Pretty darn nice god if you ask me.God calls those He wants to follow Him just as Jesus called the deciples to follow him. Some are not called.
Some friends and I went from non-belief to belief. Another went the other way. Others are today the way they were when they became adults. The human mind is a very complex beast.You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion. I am trying to understand why it's so easy for many to believe and I don't.
When speaking for myself from personal experience:You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion. I am trying to understand why it's so easy for many to believe and I don't.

Most people believe growing up in the sense of belonging and identity they were raised in many diverse conflicting and contradictory beliefs, 95%+. Some chose not to and rationalize a different path, and most often choose a different belief for a sense of belonging and identity of a different religion or belief system.. A few simply refuse to believe anything. This is the nature of being human.You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion.

That's a question that's bugging me ever since I learned that people believe in things that are obviously (for me at least) unbelievable. I have a hypothesis that the ability to belief is innate. (Which can't be true always as people go from belief to unbelief and some even claim to have gone the other route. But as a principle concept it seems right.) I hope that neurology one day confirms or disproves that hypothesis.You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion.

My friend Rival makes a superb point. The Bible says ¨ faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God".You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion. I am trying to understand why it's so easy for many to believe and I don't.

So, have an open mind, and just begin to read the Bible. I would suggest you begin with the Gospels, read slowly and think about what you read.
You may never have faith, but this is the only way to find it.
Not...really. Belief is something you accept that someone tells you. Faith is something that you are a part of causing to happen.You either have it or you don't. I am not here to argue religion. I am trying to understand why it's so easy for many to believe and I don't.
I can't believe that what I read in the Bible is truth.My friend Rival makes a superb point. The Bible says ¨ faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God".
