There are secular historians that have analyzed this ad nauseam and the common consensus is that a figure mentioned as Jesus in the Bible most likely existed.

I dont care about a sentence like "God doesnt need you to believe in him".

A sentence like this doesnt help anyone except the narrative of people that already believe in him.

My question was WHY do people believe in god.
Your answer is basically, that it doesnt matter.
So truth is not important to believers I guess. Believing gives comfort to everyone who wouldnt get along without it holds on to it, I get that.
Thats why believers dont question anything and tell everyone things like "I found god for myself, cant explain it. If he hasnt revealed himself to you, there is no way."

Its always easy for believers. God is omnipotent, so you can twist and turn things in every direction and avoid any explanation. Thats pretty comfy.

i first became christian because scripture held up under scrutiny. open challenge for any one wants to contest it. so far they fail in a big way. and the fact that i have been delivered from my addictions and other healing pretty much seals the deal. ya i put it on the line. the word and science. I firmly believe people turn away from God because they want their sin. I can say this because how hard it was for me to come to terms with my sin of addiction and became willing to give it up and the truth i couldnt do it on my own. only one day standing up from prayer did i become alcohol free. so very much free. been over 6 years of free now. never going back

Because the lack of reason. If I believe something I usually have a reason for that. So what would be a reason to believe in god?

I used to think it is all bullshit and at least satan was the "cool" one.
Till I saw what was being done in his name.
Evil beyond comprehension and must be stopped at all costs.
As for god, he is a coward that does nothing to help.

The reason is actually very simple. There are a lot of philosophical questions that aren’t answered.

Why are you alive? What’s the point of life? Where do you come from? What happens after death? What is the catalyst for the Big Bang (assuming that theory is real)? And on and on. Here I’m obviously not talking about the biological or physical factors but the philosophical questions.

Why do we have consciousness and have developed views on morality and right and wrong? Even when looking at cultures that had never contact with each other they have similar such complex concepts.

Biology and most science has no answers to these type of questions.
