I personally do, and many of my friends and family personally do.

Use the internet if you're really interested. Jesus' historical existence is a well known, secularly-documented fact.

Blah blah. Even if he was a real human person, that's no proof god exists.

How can anyone believe in God without feeling like an idiot in this day and age?

That seems to be what he was doing. There is proof of a man named Jesus, but no proof he actually did any of the stuff the Bible says or implies.

What does "this day and age" have to do with the probability of God?

Lack of evidence is usually not the reason people don't believe in Jesus as God. That they have every worldly incentive not to usually comes into play.

Good. Now try studying it. And don't be afraid if all the questions in the Universe aren't immediately answered. God was born of fear. There can be unanswered questions, it's okay.

So what is the reason people don't believe in Jesus and God, according to you?

Yes, pray tell, what is my worldy incentive not to? This should be good.

Yes I've read you said before that you personally know God, I wonder how that works exactly.

I remember you saying something about being spiritual and stuff like that, but this "spiritual" experience seems to be part of the pscychological experience from religion to me.

Actually, I'm quite calm and secure about the most major matters of my life.

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Tim 1:7).

How do I know human nature? Don't most people? People would rather be their own god than worship another; that's basic!
