Do you believe in GOD

[Renegade87]

You may add your opinion about any religion, but you don't have the right to insult that religion nor any other religions, because you'd get tons of replys for that, there are people who stand up for their religion, so even if you don't like a religion, show some respect to those who follow it -____-

Chill i dont mean to fight you battles for you but i just had to reply.

Khaled, everything he said was either his opinion or true.
if he thinks religion is a load of bull then that's his opinion.

as for the missionaries, that is just a simple fact.
they still go out and try to convert you to their believes.
and that is what bothers most non believers about any religion.
you say respect those who follow it, but some of those followers(missionaries) dont respect you either, so why should we respect them? they think we need saving and arent good human beings yet, just because we dont belive in god.
how is that showing respect??
you get respect by giving respect, and people who try to enforce their religion on others dont deserve any respect at all, period!

Are you suggesting that it's impossible to hope, if you don't believe in a higher power?

I think religion is a load of bull, especially christianity.
Tell me, everyone here who says the believe in god, do you believe in Zeus, or Amen-Ra, Odin, or Quetzacoatle?

And the worst thing about religion, is missionaries, people who go around, and force their beliefs onto different societies, they destroy cultural traditions and habitats in africa, constantly, because they consider them "Barbaric" and "Against God's Will".

Em I suggesting that it's impossible to hope, if you don't believe in a higher power? For me it is. I was not saying it's everyone, because obviously, I don't know everyone.

I feel you need to listen and understand something. You cannot blame religion for actions people take. Every person is always responsible for there own actions. It doesn't matter what religion they have.

It's so fusstrating how so many people are extremely one-sided about religion. It doesn't help anything thinking that way.

I meant about how did he describe religions as "Load of bull", It offends people who follow religions -__-

I don't consider myself a christian. I sort of believe in my own, made up religion - If that sounds ok to say(lol).

Everyone will die, and through generations nobody will remember you. That's just fact for most people. Not everyone gets to be a rockstar in life or someone important. When it's over, it's over. You don't get to see anyone anymore, your completely gone. To me that sounds pretty harsh, boring, and depressing. So that's why I believing in a God or something, it feels like hope for me. It may be unscientific, it mite be all a lie. But I've bin through a lot of crap, I don't know if it measures up to the crap some people have, but I've bin throught it and seen some disturbing things already, and I'm still kind of young as it is. So Hell, Heaven, Reincarnated, I'll take anyone of these - it sounds a lot better than being lost and forgotten.

god doesn't exist it's just..for example:when we are in some hard situation and if there's no1 we can confess to..we speak or pray to someone in our mind (in this case GOD) who we think that can hear us or resolve our problems and than we fell better..understand what i'm sayin' ...and all that stuff that 'god created the earth' is bullshit....people back then couldn't explain all that happenings in nature soooo they found a conclusion that some unnatural creature created all that..and that carried from one generation to another..till today ..........and we lived happy ever after

No. Intelligent people and philosophers, the Greeks who were the nation to bring civilization to the world, like Zenon believed in an explosion and not in a god. Religion was a propaganda for the weak and the poor in order to have hopes for the future.

My outlook weird assessment: The facts about God. Every god is different to every person. It absolutely depends on what you define "God", and futhermore, how do you define, 'Real,' makes all the difference.
Examples: Subconsciense God, Human God, Super-Natural God, Science Fiction God, the list goes on.

I think one has to state, how do you define God and what's "Real", because only then is it logical to have a discussion on whether he's real or not.

For me, I don't want to have a discussion if he's real or not, because it's pointless.

So to the topic question, "Do you believe in God?"
Yes I do, because I want to have hope.

**** you. I feel offended. And i suggest you take that back. I am an atheist but still i have hope you mother****er...

Are you suggesting that it's impossible to hope, if you don't believe in a higher power?

I agree!

Why would something like that offend you???
It his just his oppinion, just like most religious people think or have to think Darwin is wrong "load of bull" and in some cases the work of the devil.
You dont hear athiest go off whenever their believes are compromised?

You believe in god and i dont think there is anything anyone can say to you that would change that.
So why get upset if somebody thinks differently then you?
Just brush it of and go on, everybody can have his own oppinion.
That includes the ones where religion is one of the worst things ever to happen to man kind, it is just an oppinion.

I don't understand how your offended? please explain.

I didnt say every religous person forces their believes on others, i said some did.
So i'm not saying i dont respect anyone who believes, I said i didnt respect the ones who do force their believes on others.
Why?... like i said, they dont respect me either, according to "them"
I am not a good or a full person or whatever yet, therefore they think that there is still something wrong with me.
Now if anyone tries to tell me there is something wrong with me or that i need saving, you get a simple no thank you, insist and i'll ask you if ya have a hearing problem, luckily no one has ever went on after i asked them, so i never had to use my last option

on the creation of the universe, your right i dont know if the big bang is true or not, jut like you cant be a 100% sure it was god.
we just dont know!
and that is exactly what bothers me about religion, is that they claim to have the awsners, while our human brain simply isnt capable of fully understanding something as big as the universe.

Why does everyone go back to the whole, "people use god as an excuse" or "religion was made up to explain natural occurences". The latter only applied to the Greeks, not other world religions. Get that right -.- Because by saying that about all religions, then it wouldn't make sense. The greeks believed that there were gods who made everything in life happen and that was their job. Other religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism do not believe that God is making lightning and rain just like that. God also created the sciences for humans to explore and discover how things happen. The Bible doesn't reject science. So stop saying that all religions are used to explain stuff because I've never seen anywhere that says that whenever there's fire, God is making the fire, or God is causing people to fall in love with other people. You cannot group mythology with other world religions. Doing that makes you ignorant U_U

I cant agree, the point is this.
Old religions had a need to explain things that people of those times couldn't understand, fire water, death, love etc.

now with christianity, islam and judaism, they might not need explenations on the these natural occurences, but they still do and "try" to explain how we came to be and what is there after death.
Just because we dont understand or know these things, doesnt justify the notion of a god.
and that's why non believers make this comparison because the need for a god comes from people who cant understand something, whether it's fire, war, death, the afterlife or whatever, it is still a explanation for things we dont know.

LOL...no... Greeks were not the first ones... And Chriastianity was based on the Greek religion.... And believe me Christianity has much holes and contradictions...

Prop ganda. How'd you know we don't know? Perhaps there are people who do know.

I believe in God because.... if I didn't I would be worried about burning in hell for eternity, for my whole life.

Watch what you're saying Roku, because you're raping historyU_U. Using the Greeks as an example is a very BAD move, because their look on the world had a very unique evolution.
Even better, the Greeks were one of the first cultures to cut God/Gods away from the human world. You're example that the phrase "religion was made up to explain natural occurences" was only used by the Greeks is historically complete wrong. At a certain time they indeed had that concept, but from the moment that they came into contact with other cultures(around 600 BC) they threw that vision away.

You also need to take in account that it is not only the "natural phenomenons" that were controlled by the Gods, but everything: economy, politics...the rules of society came from the Gods himself. However the Greeks cut away this interaction and "banish" the Gods from our world. They keep believing in their Gods(the Olympics for example), but they have a world of their own.

Still it remaines a fact that a lot of religions/cultures started by asking themself how things came into being. You say only Greeks believed that, but Maya's, Aztecs, Celts...they all believed in that.

You also need to realise that Christianity and Islam are very young religions, so they had a very different kind of evolution. And they indeed don't say that when there's fire it's the will of God. But what they do say is that once is made by God, everything is made by God.
The Bible indeed doesn't reject science, however religious people who believed in the bible did rejected it.

Mythology is religion in terms of believing. They just believe in other things.

Never try to make a historian mad
