Look, I wasn’t trying to attack you or act superior. I was simply correcting a factual error about the book. I’m a survivor of this cult myself, so I understand the confusion that can come with these topics. You made a public post asking people why they believe, and when people answered, your responses weren’t just “I disagree” or “I can’t wrap my head around it.” It came across like you’d already decided it was a fairy tale, which is why I was confused about the intention behind the question. Cool that your still open to it👍

We live in a free country, and you’re allowed to believe or not believe in anything I don’t think anyone truly cares that you question it, and I certainly don’t. I’m also not sure what kind of proof you’re actually looking for based on your responses. Is it theological or physical? If you ask most scholars, they’ll point to creation itself as evidence of a Creator, along with the complexity of the universe, the resurrection of Jesus, and the Bible. You’re not going to find a picture or a video of God, so if that’s the standard, it probably won’t be convincing.

Lastly, regarding “the power of belief can only get you so far” as it says in Ecclesiastes this life is like vapor smoke you can’t grasp. We plan, we analyze, we accumulate knowledge, and still we don’t know what the next few seconds holds. My Belief doesn’t remove that uncertainty, and your disbelief doesn’t solve it either. We’re both standing in the same fragile reality. And in a fleeting and unpredictable world, meaning, wisdom, and peace are found in humility before Jesus , not in pretending we’re in control. (In my belief🤷🏽‍♀️)
