I'll admit, fear is a silly reason to believe. It sort of makes me like an Iraqi being loyal to Saddam out of fear. But the main reason I'm a Christian, truthfully, is because I was raised that way. I admit, there are many doubts and paradoxes and even some hints that God may not exist. I do wonder sometimes why he never shows himself anymore. Sometimes, it's easier just to not question these things. I'm just going to stick with my beliefs, but not rely too much on them. (i.e. I'm not going to ask God to give me a million dollars, then not do my job.)
