You have to read the bible and determine what you take it as. But this world is only getting worse and what I read in the bible and determine it as comes true so I believe
I too believe that everyone should have there own opinion. If I had children, I would allow them to choose to believe in it or not. I simply do not.

With that being said...how do you know God is real? Your only claim that because good things happen to you. That is sad that it is what is helping you hold onto your faith. What about the millions of people that believe and good things do not happen to them? Is God only looking after you? Millions of people die including children that do not even have a chance to believe, but there is a God because you have had good things happen in your life. Get real. Good and bad things happen to all of us. I overall have 90% of good things happen to me and I flat out say there is NO GOD...period. In your mind, when something good happens, you chalk it up to God. That is it. Just like I can chalk it up to being a good person, being successful, doing the right thing, or just plain ass luck. So everytime you chalk something up to God, remember all the people just like you that believe and it doesn't happen to them. Oh right, it is all in God's plan...right? That is the only answer religious people can fall back on when their logic makes no sense. Sad, very sad.

BTW, as far as the "preacher"...that was just an example. I have been to several churches and have been around plenty of religious people. My opinion comes from the complete bullshit that is religion. I simply had a mind of my own and can see that it is BS.

Also, it sounds like you also believe because you are scared of hell.
