I choose not to argue with people about it, because only fools argue.

Great ideas and advances would have never occurred throughout history without people arguing or discussing things. If you're objective enough, reading/engaging in debate helps you to realize when your beliefs contain falsehoods.

Just because you don't believe in GOD doesn't mean that he does not exist.

And just because you do believe in god doesn't mean that he does exist.  :o I always like to point out that one doesn't need to "believe" in things that actually exist.

Quote
Common people have a hard time dealing with believing in an uncommon God.

On the contrary, people who are susceptible to superstition are quite common and so is the copycat god you believe in.

Quote
It is in our nature to not believe in the supernatural.

Again, this isn't true for most of humanity if you take a look at the THOUSANDS of religions that have come and gone across the ages. Some of us have evolved past the need for these primitive beliefs, yes, but in general, delusion is still rampant.

Quote
Yet we believe in everything that we see on T.V.

I sure as hell don't. Speak for yourself.

Quote
Some of us doubt that the Bible contains any truth. Yet most believe every article that they read in a magazine.

Again, some of us actually have reading comprehension skills. It's the people who don't who take the Bible at face value.

Quote
It appears that we live in a world that believes in everything except God.

Are we living on the same planet? America is one of the most religious countries around. Might I suggest a move to Pakistan if it isn't zealous enough for you here? Or are you simply noticing that most normal people live rather secular in spite of their claim to believe in a god?

Quote
There hasn't been a person that has been able to prove to me that the world was formed without a creator, or that humans were formed without a creator.

And who created the creator? Oh, that's right; people resort to kindergartner logic when it comes to explaining this: "He just always existed!!!"

Quote
Each and every one of us has a unique design.

You share 99.9 percent the same DNA as me. Sorry to break it to ya.

Quote
Everything in the world has a purpose.

That's what our pattern-seeking brains like to believe; however, existence overall is pointless. It makes no difference if you die today, in 50 years or were never born.

Quote
It is evident that we were created, unless you believe that story about us actually evolving from animals.

Again, sorry to break it to ya, but you yourself are a MAMMAL. Are you warmblooded? Check. Do you have hair somewhere on your body? Check. Do you have a vertebrae? Check. Do you use your lungs to breathe air? Check. Can you feed milk to your babies? Check (if you're a woman).
"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!
