That's the thing though, it is SO not faith alone. I really don't think hardly anyone really understands what true faith is. If you read the Bible it's one of the things that frustrated Jesus the most.

My beliefs are hardly based on what I have been taught and what I have read. I have had life changing personal experiences and even though I can not say I have ever seen God, I am sure beyond the shadow of a doubt I have met him and I know him personally.

It is something I could never explain to someone that hasn't also experienced the same thing and even though I may be Christian I am usually never this preachy.

If fact I will say believe whatever you want, I could really care less; but just think about this. If you are right, there is no god and we all just rot when we die I have nothing at all to lose for having believed in one and been wrong.

However if I just happen to be right, and God exists the way the Bible says he does, the ones who refused to believe are totally screwed when they die.

*edit* But if you are naive enough to think that is the only reason I believe then you missed the whole point of what I said and why I said it.
