Yes. He takes care of me and I trust Him or hope to fully trust Him.
If there is a God then mankind deserves all the horror that has happened to us; WWW1, 2, 3 (soon to be), terrorism, killing of women, child, shall I go on.

No. Organized religion is the biggest scam in the history of the world.

I never rule it out, but no, I don't believe God exists. There is literally no reason to think God exists over some other theory of creation. Not understanding the universe does not mean God exists.
Certainly, religion has no place in the workplace. I grew up in a rural part of Canada where 90% of people were religious. But you never saw that side in the workplace.

Two different questions.

Yes I believe.

However, if an employer is talking about religion to an employee in a training session, unless you are working in a religious institution, that is inappropriate.
Exactly right in law, in common sense and simple courtesy. A person's faith and belief is their concern alone.

But as the thread proves, many of us are all too happy to be asked.

Nope

Just an ancient myth, created as a tool to govern people.

It was appropriate 1000's or in some cases, 100's of years ago, but has out grown its usefulness, and now causes more harm than good.

If Yaweh exists, IT is indifferent to us. That's why IT gave us freedom of choice. It absolves him/her of responsibility for the microbes he/she put on a very insignificant planet.

And no, Roy Moore isn't his messenger on Earth.

No. But I remain open to the depressing possibility that there is.

Those that firmly believe seem to have a very very hard time changing thier mind. It is a waste of time debating or discussing the issue with those folks.

There is a God. I follow him on Twitter! @TheTweetOfGod...

smiles, cat
OMG he's so funny. I saw a thread of his calling out Trump and his small penis. hahahah

As for the question at hand. YES I believe in God. Yes I believe God has kept me safe, gives me strength and provides for me. There is to many examples of intervention in my life and others to not believe.

explain why many anti-christians like to attack God they claim does not exist?

It is no different than the bible thumpers praising and sermonizing their own virtues and telling us how to live our lives, or the massive amount of effort generated into trying to convert people to Christianity.

Actually, the attacks on god are most likely in response to the proclamations and efforts of Christians which have been going on for centuries, but I admit that is conjecture.

Unless you're referring to physical attacks such as desecrating altars, of course that would be impossible. No one can 'attack' the non-existent.

Although believers may easily confuse an argument that disputes the stated 'logic' of their faith as an attack on their god. Often they may be justified; it's difficult to be concise about the mysterious and ineffable, and many fail.

But I think there's even less justification for asserting what "anti-christians like to attack" than there is for making blanket, prejudiced statements about believers, as if they were all alike.
-------
PS: As a side-note: Anti-christian refers to Christianity only, and so deserves a capital 'C'. And the most numerous anti-Christians are those who believe in other gods, or in the same God (Muslims and Jews) but deny the divinity of Christ. I took your purpose to be a question about atheists, who believe in no gods at all. Non-Christian believers may phrase their feelings about Christian beliefs very differently.

But, like the atheists, I'd bet they would say they weren't attacking anything that existed.

Yes, and God was not created because he is sovereign.
He created everything and is a spirit.

God and religion are two different things.
Religion is man made and can be a path to God.
God requires obedience and is averse to sin so naturally, most on here will not believe.
In fact by man's disobedience and penchant for sin, one can say that man believes more in the Devil(his Ego) than he does God.

Jesus said, beware of false prophets. For me to totally believe in God, I have to see one miracle in particular.
