Well, personally, I knew it when I realized that Jesus, my God, died for me so that I could go to heaven. Its an overwhelming feeling and is indescribable to say the least. I wish I could better explain it for you. I am sorry I cannot. The best way to describe it is for you to feel it yourself.

Why do you believe stuff out of a book? if I was to make a book right now, bury it and someone found it 10,000 years from now and started believing my bullshit that would be stupid as fuck right? religion could have been started by that.
I do see where you are coming from. But the Bible is written by 40 different authors in a period of at least 1,600 years, although no one really knows for sure. The most interesting part is that not one single verse in the Bible contradicts another. And if that was all planned, it would be incredible. My pastor always told me, the death and resurrection of Jesus can either be the biggest event in the history of mankind or the biggest hoax in the history of mankind. Another thing I was taught was: If you are doubtful about Christianity and are not sure whether to believe or not, would you rather spend 80 or so years on Earth worshiping a man you aren't even sure is real or spend an eternity in the fiery and never-ending hell?

Why do you believe in something you can't hear or see? something that isn't proven.
Well, my friend, that's why they call it faith. If so millions of people have felt God's love like I have, how can it not be real? I can admit to you that there is no physical proof that anything is true in the Bible, but take a look at God's people. That might be living proof for you right there.

Sorry, I must be missing the point of this thread.
Sorry Daniel if this seems confusing. I never meant it to turn into a big argument. I was just tired of feeling like I was the only one out there, you know?
