Please state your reason why you DO or do NOT belive he/she exists.

Whoa, Quiche, so what is it with all these threads about God? Well, it's certainly a topic with endless opinions because that's what it boils down to: opinion. If it could be proven that God existed, it wouldn't even be an issue, simply a fact.

I believe in God.

Why?-maybe my strongest reason is that I really really want to belive in God. I would like to believe I have an eternal soul..that I won't just die after a few years (or right this minute) and that'll be the end of Freddie...that's it, game over. Or maybe it's still fear of the wrath of God that I grew up knowing there's a great force which created me and can snatch my life away just as easily.

Ironically, all these reasons are also my strongest toward not believing in a God.

But there are still a lot of unexplained phenomena that I would attribute to miracles of a higher power..a higher force that exists everywhere and I believe in the power of prayer.

I think it boils down to giving a name to those gut feelings you have, the Karma, higher powers...if you label all that "God", then most people will say it exists..but when you get more specific about "God" being a certain man in our likeness, or the Holy Trinity, there's where there are divisions.

Hehehehe! Well, some people might think I was talking to em! Hmmm!

i belive there is a higher power, we cant explain what it is our, human intelligance is simply not great enough we have not evolved enough to come to a conclusion or pin point an exact idea. I dont belive in christianity, the whole religion is based upon u living in fear of evil and fearing u will not go to heaven.
evil is not bad, evil makes our lifes whole
i belive in ying and yang more then christianity, we have good and bad, both equall out, without one, how would we know that the other exsisted?

i believe in god. i have so many reasons and i could go on and on about it.

Me too.. Well, I only believe in him now AFTER I boned him

I'm an Athiest.
I believe in many gods- over 6.2 billion of them actualy.
Buy hey, I'm also an optimist.


My reason? Well I was brought up as a christian and went to christian schools, I just thought god existed because that's what I was told. But in my early teens I heard that it was possible that god might not exist, and I started to question it myself. This is the point where everyone goes from being taught it, to truely believing or rejecting it. I ended up choosing the latter.
It's just that I personaly find it hard to believe that some eternal being can click his fingers and we exist. I was realy into science at the time and couldn't think of a logical way that that could happen.

I am interested in religion though, but I find ones like Buddhism and Taoism more believable. One reason is that they have hardly changed for hundreds of years, while the bible has been translated wrong and that christianity is ever changing.
Buddhism and Taoism certanly make me think more, and I find to be much more self-realising, but christianity is certanly more interesting.
