How do I condition myself into believing in God. I've been agnostic since I was a little kid. I remember even as a pre-schooler learning about shit in Sunday school and thinking to myself that none of it made sense, but I trusted my parents enough to believe in God, until I was about 6, and I had huge anxieties about dying because I realized the afterlife is not real. How do into the eternal bliss?

>>90Thanks, I'm not some science autist who believes we have all the answers. In fact I believe evolution is entirely made up, but I don't believe we were created. I believe we don't have the real answerbyet

>>92I'm actually on the other end, a theist (Catholic) who believes that evolution is a probable explanation for the mechanistic development of organisms. I just don't think this mechanism precludes a creator God.
