I do believe that God exists, but I am somewhat hesitant to believe all that I am told about him without first drawing my own conclusions.
Unless i'm mistaken, you're saying that: before you believe in god, you want to look at the evidence?
As a teenager I dabbled with the religion thing. When I studied more advanced science at school I put it to our catholic priest that if we chemically analysed communion wine after eucharist it would still be grape juice rather than blood. He told me that transubstantiation was an act of faith. That was the moment when I got out quick. Science has since been my religion.
i believe god because i was a muslim
It's no reason, if you say you "was" a muslim

cool, just sounded a bit flamey to me... Cause it was a bit Grammar nazi-esque.
I believe in the Probe.
Er, I did phrase that odd. What I mean was that I don't blindly believe what is told to me, but, instead, I pick what to believe based on what seems believable.
Though that was probably many years ago, I can clear up the fact that Catholics believe that, while the bread and wine at Eucharist are the body and blood of Christ, it does not physically turn into flesh and blood (although miracles are noted where this has occurred). Instead, the bread and wine are 'accidents' left over after transubstantiation. So it actually still is bread and wine, physically. If that means anything to anyone :tiphat:
