    I believe that everyone has the ability and right to believe whatever they'd like to, however, logically I believe that to believe in God as a force of nature is foolish and useless to believe. But you can believe it no matter how foolish it sounds to me. I believe that if you want to believe in God then you should believe in what they Bible says or you shouldn't believe in Him at all. Sounds harsh, but it makes no logical sense to believe God is something that goes completely against everything that says what God is. If the Bible says that He is some Divine Deity then I believe that you should believe that or not believe in God at all. If Santa was real and you decided that Santa isn't really fat, but he is thin... people would think you're a fool because none of the facts would line up with that. Or if you were to believe in God, but not in Satan that would make no sense because where you learn of one you also learn of the other.
