I think that a good indication that there might be a God is that somehow, every early civilization, that I've ever heard about anyways, has had some form of religion, or observance of a higher power..... or powers. No matter how isolated, every society has had some belief system. Maybe that stems from some original belief from the days of "mitochondrial eve", but maybe that just means that as humans gradually spread out over time, the particulars of the beliefs changed with respect to the "tribes" that took them with them. I think I might have just argued myself. Anyhow, far be it for me to criticize someone for not believing something, my only beef was with atheists all of the sudden.... or not all of the sudden?......wanting to ban religion. With as much uncertainty as exists today, I don't see how anyone can say that they know anything for certain, whether it is that there is a God or not. I've read some books on Bhuddism and I think that it would be a pretty peaceful/ non intrusive practice.
By the way, if there are any Christians on here who know a lot about Revelations; when the final battle occurs, do our souls get to fight hells forces, or will that be left to the angels and God? I have wondered that for a while, I think that it would be pretty cool if we got some play time....... as long as I get a cool sword or something........ and instincively knew how to fight a demon....... that is not really the kind of situation that I would want to be second guessing myself.
