No one has ever told you about God?
Am I the first person to tell you that God is good, just, and holy?
People have told me about Santa Claus and the Easter bunny too. So what.
Have you ever experienced love?
Yep! But no god or bible was involved.
Have you considered the Universe and all of the "creation"?
Yep! It's a big and wonderous place. Still no god or bible needed.
Have you ever had a sense of right and wrong without specifically reading it in the bible?
Yep! The golden rule, play nice. Works in the rest of the animal kingdom also. No god or bible needed.

What do you live for?
Do you realize how demeaning this question is? Like only christians have any reason to live. Actually since christians all believe in eternal life, they should just all hurry up and die and go to their "just reward".
I personally live for life. Life can be wonderful just existing. I love to experience what the world has to offer. Be it kittens, cats , puppies, and dogs. Watching the dolphins swim and dance in the Indian River. Taking in a good book or movie. Hanging out with friends or family. The list goes on and on. Why is my life not worth living if I don't believe in some invisible sky pixie and some ancient both of tall tales. Why don't you get a life and stop blind folding yourself with some holy book. Unchain your mind from the mysticism and live in the real world.

Just in case you didn't realize it. People existed before the bible did and people knew what it took to get along. Just because some bible verse captured a truism now and then doesn't make the book in its entirety worth the paper its printed on!
