If there was 100% factual written in stone proof of God's existence, then what would be the point in faith or belief? There wouldn't be any faith because you don't need it when you know for sure God is real and watching you. Instead you would live a fake life pretending to be someone your not, and try to be a goody goody person to please God and be allowed in heaven, as if you had no will of your own.
Somewhere in the bible (lol) Says God has given us free will. He wants us to exercise this free will and live your life. Its up to your own will to decide if you want to acknowledge God and have faith in him through belief, and acceptance of God, Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for the world and acceptance of the Holy Spirit.
Which you will be rewarded for and gain access to Heaven, and live eternally in happiness.
Think of this world, this life your currently living in as a big game (worldy life), YOU are the player and YOU are also, the one who influences the storyline. (free will)
Keep in mind this game has a Creator (God) and There is 2 versions of gameplay to play the game.
As you play the game of worldy life you learn and experience life and events and teachings, then later down the walk, you stumble upon Two identical paths except for one key difference, religion and ..logic? (w/e athiests want to declare your perspective)
Say you choose religion, you accept the creator of the board game (God) and as you walk along the board game you reach confusing spots, you ask the creator for help because after all, he created the entire game although theres no way to prove that he did. You believe in him and have faith in him and continue to pray for guidance and help. Your gameplay has a chance to improve or worsen. As you continue to play you come across a boss fight (something you dont want, like STD or some tragedy) and you have BELIEF in God that he has your back, and ask for help (praying) You get no clear response basically as if you didnt even pray. That is where your faith comes in (power boost) and so you defeat the boss or you dont. But you used faith to get through it, As the fight ends you have a choice you can say screw it you didnt help me, or take things in an optimistic approach and continue playing the religious version, keeping your faith, belief, acceptance.
As you play you continually go through boss fights (hardships) and confusing brain teaser roadblocks puzzles (testing faith in God) So then you finally make it to the end, and you finally beat the game! the RELIGIOUS VERSION. Then after the credits stop (death) God comes and decides to reward you for keeping faith, belief and acceptance in him and says "good game, step into my bonus stage (heaven) and have access to all the cheat codes of the game [(invinciblity) = eternal life] and be happy"
Now Athiest / pure logic / pure facts Version
As you play the game of worldy life you learn and experience life and events and teachings, then later down the walk, you stumble upon Two identical paths except for one key difference, religion and atheism.
Say you choose atheism, you dont acknowledge / accept the creator of the board game (God) because God doesn't want to prove his existence, and as you walk along the board game you reach confusing spots, you research for help because after all, You denied God who, may or may have not created the entire game because theres no way to prove that he did. You use worldy logic and scientific facts to figure out the puzzles that have a true or false answer. Your gameplay (Answers) has a chance to become truthfull or false. As you continue to play you come across a boss fight (something you dont want, like STD or some tragedy) and you have facts that your strategies will have your back, and research (codes )to beat the boss.. That is where your rely on logic (power boost) and so you defeat the boss or you dont but you use your logic to get through it. As the fight ends you have a choice you can say dam logic pwns, or research more to prepare for other boss fights (wordly troubles prevention) continue playing the Atheism version, keeping your logic, facts, science/theories.
As you play you continually go through boss fights (hardships) and confusing brain teaser roadblocks puzzles (proving your facts truthful) So then you finally make it to the end, and you finally beat the game! the ATHIEST VERSION! as the credits stop (death) you get a game over. and that is all.
Although my example might not have been clear, I rewritten it simply for people who dont really get what I really meant to say.
My point is that the worldy game has 2 versions, religion and atheism. Choose to accept the creator of the game, or not. The storylines are actually identical, the only true difference is the ending the outcome.
If you accept the creator of the game (GOD), at game over God deems you worthy and says I know you,you accepted that I am real. and he will grant you an extra life and let you continue in a perfect game (heaven) afterall he made the game he can do whatever. (this is assuming your religious and believe in the afterlife)
If you deny the creator of the game (GOD) because he will not prove his existence, you turn to science/facts/theories (your game wasnt created by god but by procreation (intercourse) and at the end of the game, GOD may or may not come to you (you dont know because theres no proof) God might say, "who are you? you denied my existence so I will deny yours as well good bye" and off to hell you may or may not go (theres no proof) and since there is no God nothing happens for you after you die, or go to hell w/e of which. (since theres no proof we dont know)
In any case just enjoy the game as you play it (live life) and pick the version (playstyle) you prefer.
