Exactly. Plus, believing in god gives people purpose to live. I honestly don't know why atheists choose to live if they can't find that purpose

Athiests tend to feel happy with themselves when they are young, but mostly when they get to old age they become afraid of death and turn to God. Abandoning their beliefs for a shred of hope.

Well on the channel OGFurious he acts like that. If you want to see him talk seriously about things, you gotta check out his other channel DeanLeysen.

He's neither for or against, he just explains the reasons of both sides and what both sides think of each other, so there'd be less ignorance when it comes to argueing.

Belief in something isn't something you "choose". It is an inherent trait that is unique to each individual and cannot be forcefully changed.
I've seen the arguments for the existence of God, and I have heard all the threats and consequences. But no matter what I do, or anyone else for that matter, I can't just up and start "believing".

I remember a quote once that went:

"I want to believe in the existence of heaven and God... Truly I do... But I just can't"

If a person believes that God is real, let him believe it. If a person believes that God isn't real, so be it.

By that logic, conversion to other faiths is non-existent. People are in total control of what they believe in, however some are groomed into faith at young ages.
however you are right in the sense that people should let others believe what they wish to believe, conflict between atheists and theists gets out of hand sometimes, both can be rather aggressive (however I do have to note that atheists are usually the ones to fan the flames, especially on the net)

Mother nature is the answer to Why. In my opinion, atleast. The stuff that happens is because it's the way of nature, not because some gibberish God wants it.

I choose to believe I don't give a damn about my religion. I don't believe there's a god, neither do I believe there isn't. I do not care about MY religion.

of course we have the choice. The person who said that quote must be retarded. How can you want to believe, but can't? It is YOUR choice. If you want to believe, that means you do believe.

Unless you're a muslim in countries where state and church aren't seperated yet. You would become an outcast if you live long enough.

Yeah but despite that, its still a choice. Its a hard choice, Personal belief or acceptance, but its still a choice.

But didn't he rise from the dead?
What happened to him in the end anyway? I never stayed awake that long.

He rose from the dead and then guided the apostles for 40 days, then ascended into heaven. However its revealed that he made them believe that it was truly him by letting them feel the holes in his hands and the spear wound in his side. So like, he retained all the wounds from before he died....I think we know what this means. Right?
