"The more I fall in love with love himself" that was beautiful

[steampunkastronaut]

"Do you believe in God?"
"Yes"
"And you are happy?"
"Not until WE RETAKE JERUSALEM! DEUS VULT!"

"The more I've fell in love with Love himself the happier I've become." 1:13

Jesus.

There is a big difference between believing in a God and following a religion.

“The more I fell in love with love himself, the happier I have become” I like that quote.

I've been an atheist since I was 13. I've been a conservative atheist since I was 19. I'm now 30. Don't make the mistake of thinking all atheists are like leftist college twats. A good many of us would take up arms in defense of your churches and synagogues. Judeo-Christian philosophy is indeed the backbone for much of western society. To not acknowledge that would be foolish. But the philosophy and metaphor in scripture doesn't necessarily require belief in an actual God to function.

Edited addition: Personal responsibility is a conservative principle. I rely on myself to make decisions and accept consequences in my life, not a diety. That's how I'm able to call myself conservative and an atheist. Just wanted to add this because there are people on both sides who will try to tell me atheism and conservatism are incompatible. Some of you need the belief in a God because to think otherwise is terrifying and I understand, but some of us are content knowing what we're made of and knowing that our bodies will break down into the element of which they're made of and we will cease to exist, period. Knowing that I have this one life and that's it makes me that much more motivated to take every day for what it's worth.

God Is Great

[skitboyz]

I'm a college student and I believe in God

[joyfuldude]

I’m a high schooler and I believe in God.

[joaquindesalazar]

I believe in God, and i' m happy with my life. God is great!

[nanyingli]

You can never prove the existence of God. You can never prove the non-existence of god. But whatever you believe in, respect other people's beliefs and thoughts on religion.

[alexl]

_“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”_ (James 2:19)

You can believe in God and still go to hell.

Has God so changed your heart that you hate sin and love Christ above all is the better question.

[ValBoon]

Once an atheist philosopher said when they got shocked:

*OH MY GOD* !

[jackwarr]

I don’t know what this video is trying to say

[brassmonkey]

I'm a Catholic high school student in two hard courses. I need God in my life more than ever.

[crazymelvis]

If you ask somebody if they believe in god, and they don't answer within 1 second, they probably don't, or if they say uhh.

EXCUSE ME WHAT

[davidtheking]

I am an atheist, and have been since I was a teen and discovered my love of math and science. That path usually leads to atheism.
To be honest, I wish I did have faith now that I'm older. It more easily supplies discipline, ambition, and focus.
But it's too late now, I can't have faith even though I WANT to have faith.
There is no turning back unless I lie to myself.
I want Christianity to be real, but I know it can't possibly be, and that saddens me.
