    I personally always believed in some kind of life force as a kid. I think it was quite Panentheistic feeling to be honest. I felt like some Native American, God spoke to me through nature and laws of nature. Growing up in the church made me a Christian but honestly i have always believed in God and knew deep inside of me that he exists. I'm not sure if that feel would be enough without learning more about "everything" including the Bible since staying close to God requires listening.

    Some arguments for the existence of God. Many scientists believed in God because of how elegant everything is. Also praying and listening makes a lot of sense to Theists.

    I don't know. Sometimes i believe in a God, sometimes not. It's hard to me to describe.

    I find it unrealistic to believe that the world is shaped on its own and that we are now human beings because of 'evolution'. It is something beyond that so I believe there is a bigger force out there that shaped everything perfectly and created all the dimensions with the planets etc.

    I never was atheist. I always thought there must be meaningful reason for everything.

    Because I want to live after death and be reunited with my dad and my grandparents and everyone who ceased away before me and was close to me. Also because I wish that there is a higher plan to our existence that we are not just coincidence. I hope that thats why I wish there is a God. I dont know if I really "believe" in it I mean in the sense that Im sure that there is a God, I just hope there is a God and I think you cant do anything wrong by praying, fasting and hoping.

    Sometimes i think that life after death would be just like an endless dream or something. But i really would like to meet people i have lost again.

    Because I believe that planning has been put into the universe; I don't believe in "accidents". And I feel like I have felt gods influence in my life.
