[How do you know this (that the world couldn't have happened without God)?]
I believe, plus it's common sence.

Belief may or may not have anything to do with facts. In religion, facts are in mighty short supply.
Common sense is a rare commodity, as is good spelling. Common sense and religion do not intersect often.
I would have respected this poster if they had simply said, "I believe," and left it at that. Common sense does not include a belief in a supernatural entity that created the universe out of whole cloth. To believe in God is to willingly abandon a certain amount of common sense, and then to redefine what, exactly, "common sense" means.
And that's coming from me, someone who (on most days) also believes in God. I just don't try to pretend that the belief is anything but irrational. Faith in God requires a certain measure of irrationality.
No way fundie ,you and the rest of your ilk might have a abundance and truck loads of bullshit.blind faith but the one thing that most funndies are in a short supply of is "common sense."

I wouldn't have. In fact, I'd be even more contemptuous of her, because it suggests that she believes in something without any reason at all. As it is, she's made an observation. An incorrect observation, yeah, but it's still better than 'just because'.
"I believe..."
Oh, in other words, you're admitting that you DON'T "know" anything of the kind. That's better.
"...plus it's common sence."
Aw, nuts. Just when you had started to make sense (note spelling, please), you had to go and ruin it. Sorry, but supernaturalism is the very antithesis of "common sense"; though admittedly, "sense" seems to be wildly inconsistent with the adjective "common" as well -- especially among fundies.

The harder it is to believe, and the more one has to suspend logic and need for facts and proof, the deeper ones faith and the more god loves them. Their god doesn't seem to like the sheep to have any true level of intelligence.
Machine translations are imperfect. Single-tired-person translations may be equally flawed. Fundiebabble-to-English translator now engaged.

I believe that it's true, and if I believe it, it must be true. There's no way my belief can be wrong! Besides, it seems obvious that I'm right if you don't actually think about anything at all.
I used to believe there were monsters in the corner of my room, until I figured out it was shadows off the coat stand.
I'm betting, though, you don't have the sense the manufacturer gave to that coat stand.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
