I was speaking to an individual one day and during the course of the conversation, he asked me a question that had something to do with a decision that I had to make. I told him that the Creator had already made that decision and that I was fine with that. He immediately became defensive and said that he doesn’t believe in religion.

They will say “The Creator (or God) exists because I believe he exists” or “The Creator does not exist because I do not believe he exists”. If something good happens
