“I have called upon you to be born again, to be born of the spirit. I have called you out of the darkness of authority and the lethargy of tradition, into the transcendent light of the realization, of the possibility of making for yourselves the greatest discovery possible for the human soul to make – the supernatural experience of finding God for yourself, in yourself, and of yourself, and of doing all this through your own, personal experience, with God through Jesus.” AC/TK
“The concept of evil is useful in moral choosing, but in actuality it is just that, a concept. Just as a shadow is only relatively real. It is not necessary to experience evil personally, yet some will in their moral progress and spiritual development. Evil becomes a reality ONLY when a mind makes evil its CHOICE.”
Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings.
Alice Duer MillerTrue religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
Albert EinsteinYou have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Albert Einstein“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them.”
Stanley Lindquist“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”
C.S. Lewis“God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.”
Reggie White“Suppose we've chosen the wrong god. Every time we go to church we're just making him madder and madder.”
Homer Simpson
The most incredible thing is, whatever God we choose to steadfast believe in, is truly the God we serve and the God we reflect to others! TK

You have to believe in no God and without proof.
You can't face it that you have a a belief system with no proof Stu. You ridicule the very thing you practice that is the ironic thing here.And the difference between real faith and your faith is that real faith has experiential evidence. Whereas you have blind faith. No proof whatsoever.
Your statements about there being no God sound worse than a person saying there is no life outside Earth. Surely you would ask such a person for the proof of such a statement, and if he couldn't produce it, then concluding that he had blind faith would be a fair analysis.
“Religionists feel rather than know. The awe in which they regard the universe, the tender glow of reverence and love with which the bare sight of nature affects them, is to them the ultimate guarantee of their beliefs. Happy those who feel such emotions! Only, when they try to extract definite statements of fact from these impalpable sentiments, they should beware how far such statements are apt to come into terrible collision with reality.”
Sir Leslie Stephen
The mind of man is 90% full of non-experiential information garnered from second hand news, gossip, here-say and conjecture accepted by faith! (any information not personally experienced first hand, is taken by faith)
“I am not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief is positively harmful. Reviewing the false claims of religion, I do not wish, as some sentimental materialists affect to wish, that they were true. I do not envy believers their faith. I am relieved to think that the whole story is a sinister fairy tale; life would be miserable if what the faithful affirmed was actually the case.”
Christopher Hitchens
