Do you believe in God?

[ShishaMastah420]

Islam's most fundamental concept is a rigorous monotheism, called tawhīd (Arabic: توحيد‎). God is described in chapter 112 of the Qur'an as:[24] "Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." (112:1-4) Muslims repudiate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and divinity of Jesus, comparing it to polytheism, but accept Jesus as a prophet. In Islam, God is beyond all comprehension and Muslims are not expected to visualize God. God is described and referred to by certain names or attributes, the most common being Al-Rahmān, meaning "The Compassionate" and Al-Rahīm, meaning "The Merciful" (See Names of God in Islam).[25]

Muslims believe that creation of everything in the universe is brought into being by God’s sheer command “‘Be’ and so it is.”[26][27] and that the purpose of existence is to love and serve God.[2][28] He is viewed as a personal god who responds whenever a person in need or distress calls him.[26][29] There are no intermediaries, such as clergy, to contact God who states "We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein"[30]

Allāh is the term with no plural or gender used by Muslims and Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews to reference God, while ʾilāh (Arabic: إله‎) is the term used for a deity or a god in general.[31] Other non-Arab Muslims might use different names as much as Allah,

im a Muslim <3

people believe in a god because they fear the unknown and mostly dying they want more than what is here and now and that is the only reason why people believe in any after life i for one dont fear death because i know when i die i will feed worms and then birds then bigger prey until i am eaten by a human ...maybe

 

[I represent Uchiha]

God is awesome and he loves u all!!

 

[North Kai]

Yes

Because to choose to not believe in something bigger than yourself is to have no purpose in your life.

Without God your life has no real purpose I feel sorry for those that refuse Him.

I am an atheist

would you care to explain to me why my life has no purpose?

Don't even bother with him, i'm convinced they're spam accounts meant to convert people, they do it ALL the time.

Could you explain why atheists have no purpose in life? Are you saying that these people have had no meaning?

Sigmund Freud
Mark Zuckerberg
Charlie Chaplin
Thomas Edison
Marie Curie
Larry Flynt
etc.

Refusing to believe is not the same thing as not believing :flaw:
If god appeared before me and I still wouldn't believe in him that I would count as refusing. Unless I used drugs or have serious brain damage.

What is the purpose of your life?

If you don't believe in anything eternal then all your actions are empty.

The funny thing is he had a point;

Tawhid (Arabic: توحيد tawḥīd; English: doctrine of Oneness [of God]

This is the one thing that makes me have even a bit of respect for Islam, because Tawhid always Muslims to use science to explore their surrounds...

The rest of his comments were just pointless and irrelevant...

Could someone explain why christians regard most of the Bible as useless but still think it is written by God?

to me yes it has a point, I am alive after all, to you my life holds no purpose to you or most of other people for that matter, but why should it?

I enjoy my life, I enjoyed the school, I will enjoy law school next year, I love that I will be in London for the next two weeks with my gf, I will enjoy the time we will spend together, I enjoy the nice hotel, I enjoy tennis, I enjoy swimming, I enjoy philosophy and science, I enjoy politics, I enjoy thinking about the economy, I enjoy keeping up with what is happening to the world, ... and one day I will have a job I will try to accomplish something, perhaps contribute a little something to the wrorld, perhaps have a family, ...

so yes I have a purpose and not only one at that
please you explain to me why you think I have no purpose

purpose

So the purpose of your existence is to enjoy your life. Who doesn't enjoy life? That sounds like a very hollow existence, and I did.

Everyone enjoys life but your life has no purpose. If there is nothing eternal then your just running the time out of your clock.

To those that don't believe anything or simply don't refuse to accept any time of higher being (God) lets think about it like this.

If your right and I'm wrong we are both dirt. (God debate never mattered)
If I'm right and your wrong, you're the only one screwing yourself out of something.

so you are a just in case believer lol shallow man

 

[Son of God]

No, I do not believe in God.

Why? Because once I became interested in science, he fell off the map for me.

Any of you believers ever imagine what you would do if you were a god? I bet you think you'd do a better job or things differently.

Not only does this show that you are displeased with his "actions", but it also tells me you think you have some sort of superiority when it comes to running a universe.

But hey, that's just IF you think you can do a better job. Just 1 question: If you were God, would you allow millions of babies to starve? The innocent to be raped and murdered? The evil to prosper?
If you said no, I'm happy for you.

Haha, God's listening to your last argument. Meaning he knows you're not a true believer. Soooo, GG.

 

[orochimaru]

By asking god to "forgive" someone then you are already admitting in your mind that he has done some type of wrong.You have already judged him on your eyes.And like you said you do not have the right to do so.People can have opinions but religion takes them and forces others to bow down to them.Mohamed only preached peace when it was in his best interest.
he waged many battle against others to convert he also killed.How does a prophet judge and kill people then preach about peace ? Nothing you can say can justify his actions he is not god himself and has no right to force his beliefs on another human being.You do not need "god" to be a good person at heart.There is someone right now in this world who preaches love and peace and actually follows his words while simultaneously not believing in god.And by any religious standards be damned for all eternity.Not because brings about hate,not because he has killed someone,not because he forced anothers will under his but because he does not believe what the other believes.

you did not understand... my point was that he prayed for him, even though they are on different religion...i didn't say he said that cuz as if the man did something wrong ... that was an example that we treat people kindly no matter what they believe in...thats how we grew up...u misunderstood my point.
The prophet has never waged war against others unless they waged it first...where are coming up with this?
Besides its not me who is saying that, but many christians writers and novelist have admitted that the most influential man in history was Prophet Mohammad,peace be upon him.

So, out of respect do not accuse him of doing something he has never done,please.

yes I like to enjoy my life, all people enjoy their lives (if they can) or at least they try if for some unfortunate reason they are unable to, Id rather go to climb Kilimanjaro and enjoy the view than wait for some spiritual reward which has never happened to anyone (spiritual = religious meaning)

nothing we know lasts forever and guess what I accept that Id rather die some day than live for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever ... getting bored yet? guess what its eternal so enjoy ... and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever ...

well Im pretty sure Im right so Im not a bit worried if not at least ill have an eternity to spend talking to the likes of Plato, Aristotle, Hawking, Einstein, ... down there

 

[leggomynecro]

Children the point is I come out on top of this debate. Because in either equation What we are debating about we are either = both the same outcome or I come out on top. I have to word it that way to those without faith because you have none for yourself.
