I too don't think the bible is proof that God exists. That book has been translated and rewritten way too many times for me to believe its every word. having said that, i do however believe there is a God. There have been a few times in my life where I have pushed him aside because i was very angry with him (for years) wondering why he would allow so much pain in my life but always find out his reasons in the end.
I'm not a church goer nor a religion believer. I was brought up a catholic and have brought up my kids catholic but never truly believed in the religion. in fact, i don't believe in any religion. to me, religion is not God. to me, religion are man made rules and rituals that i don't care to participate in. I feel the same about church. it's all so superficial. people are going through the motions of the service. it's all fake and phony. I'd rather be at home and say a prayer then sit in a church for an hour listening to the same prayers over and over again. It all (religion and church) seems too cult like to me.
I think that all we need to do is believe in God and we're going to be okay in the end.
