God is Real
I know many people in this world are atheist, and I get that. There is no need to believe in religion. God has never done anything for you. Also, people can't quite prove God's existence through science. There is nothing to observe, nothing to test. Those are the strong arguments of an atheist, and believe me, I get it. I used to be an atheist too. I would go to church, but only because my parents would make me. I thought people who devoted their whole life to such a cause were pointless. That was, until I went on a retreat with the youth group. This retreat, was known as SSP, or Sierra Service Project. What this program does, is that it takes youth groups, and in the name of the Lord, the participants help out those in need, whether it be painting a house, or building a play structure for homeless children. My first SSP changed my life forever. Now, I'm not going to bore you with every detail, believe me, there's a lot, but all I can say is, as I was helping out the people there, I could feel him inside of me. I could feel God urging me to continue this kindness. You see, God is not something that can be tested or seen. God is something that you have to feel. God does not discriminate between Christians or non-believers, he loves us all and treats us all the same. Everybody has felt God within them at one point in their life. That guiding force that tells you what to do. That funny feeling you get when you know something is going to happen. God is inside of everybody, whether they like it or not. People feel this force, and describe it differently, but in reality, they are all describing the one thing that outlasts us. God.

Looking forward to reading more of your perspective! I like to think that in the same was as we can't test for God, that there are things about ourselves we can't get from tests or experiments either. :)
