I found that if you have a goal, you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya, it feels phenomenal.

Of course I do. He's the reason I get up everyday and do what I do.
When you stop thinking that God is just about giving you what you want and instead you start seeking His will for your life, you'll find that He will bring you to an incredible place in your life that you could have never come up with yourself.

I think most intelligent people go through 3 stages of belief:
- Blind belief: For when you're too young to really question what you've been taught
- Blind disbelief: For when you're old enough to think, 'this is kind of too convenient/ridiculous' but too young to really consider the issue more deeply
- Enlightened agnosticism/weak theism or deism: For when you've become old enough that you're aware of your own mortality and of the deep complexities of our existence, and in turn maybe rediscover the wisdom of religion or at least begin to reject a purely positivist worldview as insufficient even irrational.
Some get stuck at stage 1 or 2 though.

I was born in to a Traditional Catholic family and as a Kid I always knew God existed just by looking into the clouds and all the scenery. Growing up I tried hard to be good person in general going to Church every Sunday. Once I got to High school I started to do things that went against my religious upbringing and made me realize that being religious and just going through the motions wasn't enough to be right with God.
One day I just had enough of the hypocrisy I was living and decided that day forward I was going to find the real truth, and I was going to be honest and sincere with myself.
I opened the Holy Bible and started reading it and even though I was religious all my life all this I was reading was foreign to me and didn't understand it. I turned on the TV and a preacher was explaining the Bible. I wrote down several pages of bible scripture to try to put all this together and figure it all out, then it all sudden became clear.
You can be religious all your life but if your trying get to God that way with religious activity and doing good works, its not enough, you can never do enough to be right with God. Only through trusting the Lord Jesus Christ and his finish work on the Cross will fulfill God's requirement of righteousness. Instead of yourselves or religion, put your full trust, and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
You do that by Admitting to God that your a sinner and can't save yourself, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, Confess all your sins to God repent by turning from your sinful ways and turn to God.

I wouldn't go on about looking down at others, but I highly doubt the average atheist has the same intelligence as the average religious folk. 99% of the religious people I know were raised that way, born in the south btw. Only a few have wavered. Only a handful have questioned things over the years. I'm sure it's the same in Muslim/Jewish/Buddhist/etc countries.
If you were born in Pakistan, would you still follow Christianity?
I know I'm assuming things, but you get the gist.A man spends the first half of his life learning habits that shorten the other half of his life.
