  2. @David Well, of course one can't just make himself believe, there is no reason trying to do so. That's actually was discussed many times by Christian theologists, and some branches of protestants believe that it's already predestined who will achieve salvation. I'm myself being agnostic think that if there is God those who will be granted faith will be saved, others won't. And about bevievers. Though i disagree with them, i don't actively dislike them as you do. First of all, not all of them are radicals. Secondly, since birth rates of non-believers are too low, we need those of them who are moderate in their beliefs. Because alternatively we will need to import migrants from 3rd world, who are even more religious. Also, as a benefit, those believers oppose modern "liberalism" which is actually more of a radical social justice communism. P.S. People who talk about if God is good or bad seem all to make one assumption, which is not nessesarily true. Everyone assumes that God's understanding of love and being "good" is the same as common human one. But that isn't nessesarily true. I mean, i think a priest who "likes" young boys(if you know what i mean, thus being physically) also loves them, but in his own way. So there is may be no contradiction in statements like "God loves all people" and "those who do x, will go to Hell for eternal suffering and tortures"(that being masturbation, enjoying food etc), because for him it it can be true act of love. P.P.S. Sorry for your story about girlfriend and church, she probably would be a good wife.
