It's called faith, and without it, it's impossible to please God.
Why do you choose to have faith in your particular beliefs? Why do you think it is real?
Honestly, there are thousands of religions in this world. Each propose to be the truth. Each have followers who claim to have experienced their God or whatever they believe in. Each have followers that say they believe in it because of 'faith'. But where does reality picture into it?
If you have not experienced or realised truth, why would you even choose to have faith in something that allows you to live in a nightmarish reality? How can you hope to be a happy person when you see evil everywhere you look? For gawd's sake, I know people who have come away with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from believing what you do. I can't think of anything worse.
Further more, how can you believe that God is less prominent or powerful than Satan? How can you believe that God would allow evil to exist and work secretly without interfering?
All I fathom from these extremist views is that the Devil is basically controlling this world because somehow God couldn't be bothered or isn't powerful enough (yeh right) and the only way to not burn in hell forever is to accept a man called Jesus as your saviour even though the existance of any of these characters is only known or evidenced from a BOOK written a long time ago. And many, many books/scriptures were written in ancient history. Why choose this one that is full of contradictions and written by people AFTER Jesus died?
