Freeze, do you believe that God is a male?
It says we were made in his image. Bible always refers to God with male pronouns. Jesus refers to him as Father. But he is not flesh.

They aren't told what to believe. I have heard many say, look at them as Aesop's stories. Stories that are told to teach a message.
i mean you can ask any question you want but the real question is do believers think the bible is literal truth or a book of stories?
how can you tell when something happened because god made it happen or if it just happened because god let things play out without doing anything?I'm sorry, did you see the very next sentence or nah?This statement...I cannot answer for God and why he does what he does, or doesn't do. He may not even make the things we see happen, but just allows to happen what was going to happen. I cannot answer for him.
makes no sense for you to be a "Believer" ...

But how does that and Free Will of Humans hold true at the same time?You can't. But God is in all things. All happens or doesn't happen by his will.

Lastly, if there is a higher power regardless if it's the higher power of any specific religion, we're still attempting to understanding it using our limited human intellect which isn't tantamount to its level of intellect. We'll never be able to think or understand on equal levels.
Because they are brainwashed as a child. I just wished people would acknowledge it for what it is. If you raise a child and "force" that mindset upon then, you can limit their desire for intellectual growth.Exactly @DCAllAmerican, it's literally a joke. That tons of people have fallen for.
I believe in the Christ; however, I do believe that children would be better off brought up in confucianism... before being introduced to the stories of the bible when they can understand the spirit behind them.

Again, I know there are people that were brainwashed as kids that have a thirst for knowledge and those that weren't that don't have that thirst. But I just personally think you are stunting your kid's logic by doing that to them.
Instead of having the ability to use words to get out of jams, they will use emotionally protected catch phrases.
I don't agree with those explanations as the purpose for religion and anyone who views religion as solely as a comforter is putting themselves at risk to become skeptics when they aren't comforted by their faith. The truth of the matter is religion can be very UN-comforting, being a believer puts obligations on a person that may be quite difficult to handle. Because we have free will sometimes it is easier not to believe. And the second part, "feeling better about the deceased", is a mixed bag too. For one mourning and grief is prevalent in the bible, the comfort is in the greater plan, not the individual death. Also knowing that they still spiritually exist may be comforting but religions generally include some possible adverse outcomes as well.Religion is here to give people hope that their existence isn't really over when they die, and to make them feel better about their deceased loved ones. In my estimation/observation, it all boils down to those 2 things.
