there are surely more than what we can see, it's in you if you do believe in or not.
Jesus? he may exist, just as Zeus may exist as well, so I respect them as entities, I don't feel the need to do any kind of blasphemy.
religion? no, it's just a lie, a lie to take control over us.
what would I pick then?

I am pretty damn sure Jesus did exist. And what Jesus taught isn't what the religions that followed after preach.

See in Theology there's is a pattern. Guy comes and starts teaching people principles of love, nirvana...how to achieve happiness etc. Well eventually he dies, but he's so great with many followers that he goes down in history. Now those that didn't fully grasp his philosophy get these half truth and run with them. By the time they get to you in 2012, you've seen people get killed, cheated etc from religion.

Jesus didn't teach Christianity.
Buddha didn't tech Buddhism.

You get the idea. Except in theology we find that most of these teachings are fundamentally the same. Same God same truth.

Now why do people bother with God. The simple answer is, because the world sucks, it's really a piece of shit world, and any one that tells you otherwise is a self absorbed naive ignoramus. There's nothing great about this world.
 
The world amazes me in both good and bad ways. I guess a main beef I would have with religion is how much it's held humanity back. The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes (Scopes Monkey Trial) was decided in 1920 and religion is still trying to turn back the clock. That's just one example. For centuries the church had a monopoly on science. Withholding findings or discrediting scientists who's conclusions didn't align with the biblical understanding of things. In Europe "dragons" were utilized by the church to explain why whole villages of "heathens" and dissenters of the church would get decimated. Anyway, I love science and faith has threatened it for too long. We've discovered fractals in the '70's, which if you read up on are pretty amazing. And now we're knocking on the door of "The God Particle" or Higgs boson. I can't wait to see what people will figure out next.
 
First of all God does exist, second of all Jesus does exist and thirdly human life is nothing, we are basically just insects living with a conscious on this planet.

In Science, they say that energy cannot be created and can only be passed on in a other form. Well in order for the big bang theory to work something must have created that ball of energy to explode.

Also I finished the entire bible and let me tell you this, the old testaments shouldn't be taken seriously most of it is made off Jewish tales, but King David and Salomon did exist and a lot of other stuff. As a Christian, the new testament should be the book you believe. The 4 gospels where all written by different people but they still come with same conclusion Jesus died on the cross(even the Muslims believe it)

In my opinion this is enough to believe but most people stop believing when their life is shit :( and I understand why life is hard my friends. the hardest thing in my life was losing someone important in my life. Well what helped me get through it was understanding that I'm not the only around the world people are always crying and suffering. Even God understood that dying is awful, he made himself man and showed us that even good people could die an awful way. Well by doing so, he gave us hope that we would live once again :)

In conclusion, forget about religion and churches. True religion is your relation with Jesus. it's your choice to live without God but you should understand evolution because it still has it flaws and some stuff can't also be explained.

Sorry for my English:S
