Do you believe in God?

[AlexXx]

i like to talk about religion but this site is a bad place for it.

why i believe in god: everyone gets after his dead the right judgement.

if you was in life a good person but you didnt get anything for it, in heaven you get your reward for it. so its like a motivation to be a good person. even to be good to animals, the animals cant say thank you

in the other hand: when someone rapes childrens or kill people just for satisfaction and the police cant find him or the judge make wrong decisions.
he will get what he diserves in hell

and thats is just on example

 

[AlexXx]

i believe in science and facts

you can believe in science/fact/logic and in god and religions, too

thats what i do

you just need to find the similarities and believe me there are much of it.
its jsut hard to find them but they exist.

its not like 10 minutes with google and you find them. its something you have think about siriously.

Lol, believing is one thing, trusting is another. The questions are too vague for me, so I have nothing further to say aside from the fact that "belief" is meaningless without trust.

the question was do you belief not if you trust, its not vague at all

It also does not say to call people idiots.

Eh, I call it as I see it, but actually the thread doesn't say I can't. It doesn't even mention the word, but nevermind it.

reporting someone for trolling on a thread that is not even allowed? SMH

It is allowed, why don't you read the guidelines for a chance instead of being so ignorant.

Lol, "Do you believe in God" is an extremely vague question for someone like me. I find belief to be quite irrelevant as it's not specific. You can believe in things without consequence, but it's when you actually act on that belief that things really get interesting. But that's just me.

Well I believe in God but not any perticular religion. I was born a Hindu, studied in Cristian school, had a very good Muslim friend and studied about Buddhism a bit. I believe i god but no the way most people see it, to me God is not some human shaped almighty figure, the universe is far too big and we humans far too insignificant and foolish to be center of God's creation. Rather God to me is the ultimate law that guides the course of universe, u wld notice that very atoms and molecules itself strive to attain a perfectly stable state.... to me God is that perfection everything be it living and non biological try to obtain. U ask why? Its because there is too much order in the chaos of the world to be just coincidence... there must be a ultimate law or driving force that pushes the world along its path. That makes me a deist i think.

This goes a bit off-topic but I find it funny how folk always slack off the "bronze-age people" and claim they knew nothing of importance.

Anyone who's done some real learning knows this to be a completely ignorant understatement. Take Giza pyramids as a fine example of something none of us could ever build, Napoleon estimated the ~2.5million stone blocks of the main pyramid are enough to build a 3 meter high wall around the whole of France.

Now in order to even begin realize this sheer impossible feat of "the bronze-age people who knew nothing" one should know that many of these stone blocks weight more than 50 tons and were brought there from 500 miles away... You'd need some of the worlds biggest hardcore cranes to even lift these blocks, yet somehow these folks did that for a number of precisely carved granite blocks from far far away.

Well that may not even be the most impressive part, the question how all this and the precision in which it was all built still amazes today's top architects and stone workers to the point they feel like going back to kindergarten.

Thus I dare you to underestimate and simplify our ancestors, they knew much of what is still a mystery to today's top scientific minds.

Oh and our religious readers may be interested to hear that much of what we know as the various religions of today are actually inherited from the ancient Egyptians. (You may wanna do your own research on the matter

I'll make it known before I begin. I respect the beliefs of all religious and non-religious people, so long as they also respect the beliefs of others. With that said, I'll give my own opinions on this topic.

I am a Christian, I was raised that way, yet I'm also an admirer of science and its teachings. The most scientific reason I can give as to why I follow my God is that mankind has been able to split and regroup every atom known to exist, yet they have yet to find the "formula" to create life. The day that lab-created living cells are presented to the world, I will have my reasonable doubt to go against my beliefs. Even then, though, I will most likely still keep my faith for two simple and hopefully understandable reasons.

The first is that I simply cannot imagine myself believing in any other religion or not believing in one at all. I try to imagine myself as an atheist, but I think about God and his teachings far too much to think that one day, I could ever believe that he doesn't exist.

With THAT said, I have read much of the bible and find it difficult understanding or agreeing with some of its teachings, the most prominent being that "homosexuality is an abomination". I see no problem with homosexuality and find it hard to imagine why God would create so many homosexual people knowing that they would end up in Hell after their deaths (I say this because I am someone who believes that people are born gay rather than it being environmental). It also upsets and disheartens me that only approximately thirty percent of the world population shares my beliefs, the reason for which I feel should go without saying. As for other popular teachings that give people reason to not believe, I have been told before that a biblical day was much longer than a modern day. Therefore, just because it's said that God created the universe in seven days does not necessarily mean it took a actual week.

Having listed my personal conflicts with my own beliefs, the second reason why I have faith is that I fear my God and after studying other major religions, the Christian God is the only deity for which I can find reason to fear. That being said, Christianity is the only religion for which I have reason to fear the probability of me being wrong should I choose to believe something else.

These are my beliefs and my reasons for them. Please respect them.

Surely you can't expect people to not cut their beards, even many of the beautiful women would look alike to Gandalf and every man would be sweating like it's sauna 24/7. I'm sure we can also agree we shouldn't stone our children for getting drunk nor punish people who work during sabbath.

It's widely agreed by Christians that the old testaments ridiculous rules are written by men of the past describing what was going on at the time and should be taken with a grain of salt.

The Christians of today should use common sense when reading these old documents and trying to live in accordance to their religion.

The one thing that I dont get about some people is that they say if they cannot see it or touch it then it does not exist. Okay soooo ur telling me that a distant planet outside our solar system does not exist???? Because u can't see it without a highly advanced telescope and u certainly cannot touch it or bacteria you cant see it unless have a microscope and it is physically impossible for u to touch it soo?? You see I respect others beliefs even though I did point out something about some people's if you believe their are many gods ok, if you believe in only one ok, and if u believe there is none at all ok it's your belief and yet we have people here who still argue over who is right. NO ONE CAN KNOW FOR SURE UNTIL U R DEAD. Their could be a almighty being or beings that watch over us and can send us to external damnation or happiness we don't know so why bother? If you r happy and u make others happy within your life who the hell cares what religion u r. Seth Mcfarlene for instance is atheist and yet many people watch his show religious or non religious. These feuds have been going since before written history. You know of I be worried about anything it is our home and the homes of millions of plant and animal spieces that r disappearing. This is as bad, if not worse then the conflict of skin color or race. Do we really need to fight over something that does not effect ur choices or mine? Who cares what color u r, what religion u r, what race u r, or what country ur from we r all the same we r all humans. And in the end we all have to meet death no matter who u r u have to face death. And then no one cares what u look like or what u believe in u r dead and gone. People need to stop fighting over this and get on with their lives. Thats what holds us back people who argue over who is right or wrong. We all meet death and no one can dispute that. No one controls what u do and it is ur choice to argue, to fail, or to live a life of happiness. God or no we choose who to be and we all need to take responsibility.

Exactly in heaven a day their might be a thousands or millions of years here. Eternity is like an eagle scratching a metal ball one scratch takes it hundreds if not thousands of years.

While I agree with you, I also think it almost seems like we're just not ready to have peace and understanding.
