I have seen and experienced things that others have as well that can only be explained by a Higher Power. I have always been one who needed proof to believe. I myself was skeptical and even trolled around hating on believers.
Faith is about believing in something you can't see. Can't touch. Can't hear. Just on a whim, pray to God and ask God for proof of God's existence. All I can say is I did the same, and it's still a joy ride I love today.
I for one don't believe in the many, many coincidences I've experienced and perceived on a daily basis since that prayer.
Besides, why hate on someone for believing? Ohh, I know. Misery loves company. It's nice to know that there's life after this. When you realize that God created you out of love, you don't have to fall into that trap of, "Oh my God, I can't ever walk a perfectly straight life, so what the hay.. all that religious stuff is ancient bs anyways." God loves you, perfect or not.
The best analogy I can make for it is like this: if I create something, I create it with love. I don't build a PC with two cards in SLI and put Win 7 on it or even a pb and j sandwich going all the while, I hate this f'n sandwich, I hate this peanut butter, I hate this jelly, etc. etc.
The love is real, and the concept is noble enough that it's at least worth opening up your mind just a wee bit to see if hey, maybe you've been wrong all these years. Maybe there is more than meets the eye.
