I went to a Christian fellowship meeting at my university in the past week. From the outside, Christianity seems like a cult. I mean, there we were, holding hands in a circle, praying!
It seems that we're crazy, insane people. We pray to someone we haven't met before, we love this person, but we can't prove tangibly that he exists.
This is why faith is so strong. There are a million reasons to why people don't think God exists, yet our religion looks past those rationalizations and continue to believe.
One of the main reasons I believe in God is because of the complexity of the world and the design of living species. There is no way that all of this happened by chance! Think of all the things we can do as humans: breathe, run, walk, hear, see, taste... How is it that all those are by chance?
Someone has had to create all this. We manage to live harmoniously (to a point) with nature- our carbon dioxide is used by plants and plants give off the oxygen humans need. Our body is so intricate, with three different types of blood vessels all with different functions, aiding in our breathing, in carrying waste, etc. We have lungs that we use to breathe, there are muscles and bones and our digestive system- a lymphatic system. There is seemingly no part of our body that is useless (except for the appendix which was useful earlier on). How can all this just happen randomly? If you believe in magic I suppose.
And then there is the miracle of creating another life-form: conception and giving birth. How can everything just fit so perfectly unless it were designed that way?
This brings me to a final question: are believers the crazy ones or is it non-believers who are simply too stubborn to acknowledge that there is someone out there, doing greater things?
