Maynard_Tool I am glad you are waiting with an open mind. Keep it open and one day you will fall flat on your face in front of the evidence as most of us have done.
I too believe in God. The Christian God. There is no other by logical definition. Though I try to not step on other people's toes on the subject as it is a highly personal and touchy subject.
I cannot prove to anyone, who will not accept my experiences as facts, that God exists. It is a highly subjective thing, this evidence. One person says "ZOMG! MIRACLE! PRAISE JESUS!" while another person says, "Meh, not sure yet, but probably explainable."
If you were to take a Calvinist's perspective, everyone is predestined to either accept Christ or not to accept Him, then no amount of any evidence will persuade a person who is predestined to believe otherwise. So according to that, one day you either will believe the Bible as truth and fact or not. If so, then great. If not... I do not want to be you (as viewed from my beliefs).
I fall somewhere in the middle between Calvinism and the non-Calvinists. Not sure exactly where, but I think everyone has a shot at [eternal life], but not everyone will choose the path that allows them to get their shot.
To the rest of brothers/sisters here: What about speaking in tongues? Do you believe it? Do you practice it? I believed in it for some time but not until this past year did I ever practice it. Sorry if this opens a can of worms in this thread... >_
