I didn't say for a fact God exists. I said i BELEIVE God exists. I am entitled to a beleif no matter how 'idiotic' it may be.

What makes you believe though? Do you believe the Bible is literal?

I've been bought up in a religious family. I just find it hard to beleive some of the things scientists have said. Of course i've questioned my religion.. i think everyone does. And there's no point in explaining what makes me beleive because i think only people who do beleive will understand where i'm coming from. It gives me comfort in beleiving there is a God.. and i found it pretty rude that i get called an idiot because of what i choose to beleive in.

You find it hard to believe in some things the scientists have said? What about the things the bible says????????

You can't objectively say he exists/he doesn't exist. There is no proof either way, so its just down to a belief.

But Christina said, she never said god existed but that she believed he existed. Surely if you believe something to be real, whether it is in fact true or not is irrelevant?

Because shes stating her opinion, she doesn't know god exists (shes said that in this thread, saying she has questioned it) but she believes he exists, just like you don't believe he exists, but you don't know that for fact. There is a difference. Its an opinion.
