Of course you can.

Because I believe there is more to this world than very intelligent meat.

Because I believe in both good and evil, and to me, without a god there is no purpose to either. They just become concepts to use to make people do what you want.

Because I want to show people that people like Jerry Falwell and Fred Phelps are fools who know nothing of what it means to be a Christian.

Because I believe that humanity as a whole is evil. Not in the everyone is just as bad as Hitler sense, but I really see no hope for man outside of something supernatural.

Because the idea that a single celled organism, something incredibly complex and requiring so many different abilities just to exist, came to life due to heat, lightning, and the proper parts happening to be there, is just as ridiculous as any other idea on how life originated.

Because I want the world to know that there is no Holy Land, and that to die for the sake of some dirt and buildings is pointless.

Because no one ever agrees that evolution has quite a few very large holes in it.

Because I want to share the God that I know. The one that is loving, gracious, and just.

Because how the Earth and the universe came into existence doesn't matter one iota.

Because for most people there isn't a difference between putting your trust in a two thousand year old book and the man behind the podium, than there is in putting your trust in a textbook and and the man behind the desk.

Because everyone should know that the bible says Jesus died to save sinners, not straight republicans.

Because there is at least one absolute in this universe.

Because for me atheism logically leads to nihilism, and since I know that isn't true, I believe in a God. (I realize that not every atheist is a nihilist, I'm just stating that's how it works out for me.)

Because I believe in an ultimate truth, and that we should be striving to get closer to it. And yes, I do believe that ultimate truth comes from the bible.

Because Christianity is the only religion that teaches grace.

That's a lot of them I might could come up with more if I was pressed, but those are the big ones.
