Don't, Why? Lack of evidence. Quick argument, if the god of the christians is what is claimed, this world cannot be what it is.

You got point here DSW ... but what kind of evidences do we need to be sure that God exists? and I think we believe in other stuff in life without questioning the concept of evidences for instance; love, hatred, etc - Okay abstract side and we believe in money concrete on the other side.
So, if you were able to question God one question what would that be?
Libra.

I cannot think of no one but a Supreme Unseen Being, called God when things in my life, happen even without me controlling them. These things may be good or bad, and again even without me contributing to it and while i question God like any other skeptic, my acceptance of things come with this tiny seed of faith, and that eventually leads me to believing that all things work together for good. Maybe i wont be able to see in my lifetime, some of these positive events to come for the world but maybe, again, all that God asks of human beings is to realize the power of this innate faith, which will bring them closer to Him, no matter what happens.
Mathematically speaking, i believe that the total sum of our lives will always be the product of perfect divine calculations.

"perfect divine calculations."
Must have been a strain on the batteries, all those weans at Aberfan, fans at Hillsborough, sundry astronauts, tidal wave victims, earthquake flatenee's, collapsed on miners, all those African types on the heavenly diet plan and I really wonder what buttons were being pushed whilst all those priests were cassock lifting on the altar boys.
This 'divine calculation' seems the best argument for chaos theory.

I respect your opinion even if i don't subscribe to its monumental doubt. I do not impose my belief on others, because this is how i choose to live, Interestingly, there's no chaos but balance in my soul.

Who made this universe?
Who/What or Where is that secret hidden ...

Existentialistic, hopefully spelling that correctly, tired hehe...
The sense of freedom, self control, and overall controlling power over every aspect of my life.
And just a little question, didn't they say a few years back they beleive they found what was the island of Eden on some damned island?

I would rather share my life, share the best of what i have with those who need it and i can forget all arguments about God's existence or non-existence.
DSW, friendship would not be as wonderful as the rainbow without the other color/s. You just proved to be majestic in this regard.
