Do you believe in God ?

[Zook1]

Can you give me a brief explanation why ?

 

[Akame]

I believe in god, not in religion.

 

[KillerbYo]

I believe in god, not in religion.

The Same for me, Im struggling with it ever since I immersed myself in all of the critisism against religion. I just borrowed a book to try and understand it more, I think that its a problem when people dont allow others to be religous, but its not a problem to not be religous.

 

[Xēnovia.]

We live in the matrix.​

 

[Karna]

This thread is gonna be fun, just wait and see

OT:Yes I do, I have a very well made philosophy/theory of my own based on "Bhagwat Gita", that's what Einstein considered as reference when he gave his relativity theory, he stated it himself(google it if you don't believe me)

 

[Gerkak]

Yes, I believe in God.

Yeah basically this.

 

[Bantos]

No, I don't.

 

[Tobi98]

No, if there's no evidence of God I won't believe, if someday it's proven that he exists I'll start believing

 

[ByakuganUser]

Yeah, cause something had to create everything.

 

[Nathan]

No, I don't.

My reason? Would rather not start a whole argument.

 

[3MESSIAH]

which god do you mean?

 

[Tobi98]

Yeah, cause something had to create everything.

Then who created God?

 

[P3ĮÑ]

Then who created God?

An Omnipotent needs not a beginning nor a creator, Since in relgious contexts, concepts are his creation. A simple human mind cannot comprehend such a possibility of that, comparable to an omniscient deity, As you'll just come up with typical paradoxes.

OT: As a muslim follower. Yes, I do.

Then how do you know that Universe had to be created and that it had to be created by God?

 

[Ōkami]

No I out grew my imaginary friends.

 

[Gerkak]

Then who created God?

God is the origin of everything. God is eternal so the concept of begining or end doesn't apply to God only to us humans and other entities. In other words no one created God. But God created everything else

As on how Islam views is, per se. This what I can offer you for the time being, read it if you may.

Now let us try to express the Creator's Purpose by a Simple Analogy

Let us think of an expert craftsman or artist. Say that this artist is an extraordinary sculptor who with a few strokes of hammer and chisel, can produce life-like subjects from the hardest stone, expressive of the most delicate feelings. Or a skilful worker in wood who can, as it were, pour his soul into walnut or beech or bring (as the expression is) a piece of ebony to life. Or an excellent painter whose brush-strokes can produce the most exquisite combination of colours, which stir the beholders with their beauty. And to these kinds of skills, we might add many more. It is impossible to know the artist as an artist-if he does not show his abilities. We may come to know him and deduce his abilities either from his works of art or from the process through which he produces them. Every potentiality wishes to reveal the reality hidden within itself, to demonstrate what it knows by clothing itself in an outward form, by putting on an external body. Seeds strive to sprout; sperms strive to join the egg in the womb; and bubbles floating in the air strive to reach ground as droplets of water. They all endure the effort necessary simply because of the desire to show in reality the potentiality within themselves.

The urge to show our potentialities, and thus to be seen and known by others is in fact an expression of weakness or defect, as all beings and their wishes are merely the shadow of the original essence. However, the skilful Creator is absolutely free from such defects or weak-nesses. It must never be forgotten that neither any single nor composite manifestation of the essence is similar to the essence.

The universe definitely had a beginning. It can be broken down. Anything that can be broken down to a simpler form has a beginning.

 

[Tobi98]

God is the origin of everything. God is eternal so the concept of begining or end doesn't apply to God only to us humans and other entities. In other words no one created God. But God created everything else

But where is the evidence that God created the Universe and that the Universe needed to be created by a being like God?
