If Yes, So you got the answers ,as well as the reverse for no.
The simple explanation is as you say. But if you understand the proof that God exists, and then find the proof that the Bible is the Word of God, your faith will be strengthened in the direction that God exists in the minds of people. Why? Because God says it in His Word.
Believing God or not believing Him was the original problem that people had. If they had simply believed God in the Garden of Eden, rather than the snake - btw, the medical has two snakes on a pole - they would not have sinned, and we would not exist in a corrupted state that dies after a while.
Well honestly, i don't think its an issue of whether you believe or not. Your beliefs doesn't determine what kind of person you are but your actions do. I mean if someone's belief in god makes him a better person, then good for him. We have no right to judge people with their beliefs because they have the right to have their own. As long as we take responsibility for our actions.
Some actions are involuntary. The voluntary ones are done, based on the beliefs of the person doing them.
Well, where was I talking about religion in that answer?
