Question. Where did the entire universe come from? If every planet and every star starts out as particals, where did the particals come from? If there was nothing before the universe, where did the atoms that created the particals come from?
By the way I do believe in God. Nothing could be if it were not so.
Where'd God come from?

I like to clarify that I completely and totally agree with the entire context of the Bible and that God did create everything that exists to this day, and that his Son did die on the cross to redeem us for our sins and that He rose from the dead to reign in heaven.
Even this:

Taken from Curse's post on slopdog.Christianity teaches hate and intolerance. Careful! Step out of line and he'll smite you! Seriously, I don't see the point of living in fear.
Eh, most Christians try to push their religion on everyone that they meet, they go out in hordes complaining about their lack of rights and such, which is funny, considering we live in a predominantly Christian-based society.
Buddhism is the only religion that I'd actually consider being a part of - although it's not really a religion, it's more of a way of life. But right now I'm a atheist.
