Do you REALLY want to know what the Truth is?
Wisdom begins with realizing how few of the answers you really have.
So, you'd like to believe, wouldn't you? That there exists a God who loves you and wants to be a part of your life, to turn it around and be continuously filled with joy and freedom. To have the destiny of living forever in a paradise your mind cannot comprehend the awesome wonder of. To know that you have nothing to worry about. I mean who wants to ever feel abandoned. Who doesn't want to stop living a life where they have to deal with despising themselves? If you do, then congrats, you have an open heart.
But your mind tells you that God doesn't exist. Well, that's because you never found answers to your doubts. Well here they are.
Its not like there are things you know that exist but you can't understand. Take girls for instance. I sure as heck can get pretty confused about them. But if the female gender isnt enough, just do some research on Quantum Physics, the nature of time and space and reality and the possibility of parallel universes. Read about dark matter.

In fact, we have explored less than half of the surface of this planet. My point being that there are things out there we do not yet understand. Its silly to dismiss out of hand ideas about things that can be categorized as Things Science Doesnt Know.
99.9999999999% percent of this universe outside our range of sight is not made up of furniture and animals and people and all the common things that make up our familiar world. Step back, realize you're standing on the thin crust of a massive ball of molten rock that's hurtling through space at several hundred thousand miles an hour. You're in a unverse of black holes and supernovas and neutrinos and an infinity of objects and energies we don't yet have names for much less understand.
See, you really don't know if there does or does not exist a God. The instinctive rejection of religion based on its unexplainability is an emotional response, not an intellectual one. The fact that you cannot understand how He exists does not mean that He doesn't exist. But the only thing that should be holding you back from believing that He exists is because there are things you need to know first before you can believe He exists. But if you're open minded, you're willing to find out if there are answers to your questions... and that you could be wrong.
Are you strong enough? Are you brave enough for answers that may prove you're wrong? Can you handle finding out what you believe is wrong, and that you've been living a lie? Probably not, because you're human. But if there really is this loving God, then you're not alone, and you won't have to deal with this alone. Sides, i'm here for you :-)
I mean come on, if there really is a Truth, you want to know, don't you? You would like to know what is going to happen once you die, right? After all, there is no refuting the fact that you will die one day. Whatever comes after death, is probably what you're going to have to deal with for ETERNITY. Your years on this world is a microscopic blip in an otherwise endless lifespan. After that, what next? The problem is, while here we are physically unable to see past this world and thus are unable to gain any kind of real perspective on our real lives after this brief sigh we know as existance.
And that will be real lives. Its like a baby in a womb. The baby is alive in the womb, but hasnt truly starting experiencing life. Its not till we are thinking and moving and using our free will and functioning on our own that we consider our life to have started. But in a similar way, is our existance on earth and after. So much more is waiting.
So really, what is more important, living life without answers, not caring? Or searching for answers to what may come after.
