Do you believe in God ?

[Tobi98]

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.

With that thought, there's no random in the Universe, but then why is the Universe so chaotic?

The old gods and the new?

 

[ANiMUS]

Yes, I do believe in god, but I believe that any religion tied up in politics or has some person achieving personal gain is crooked.

Y I believe in god......because there is life DNA is extremely complexed and the fact that scientist no matter how hard the try can recreate life from DNA's base elements is enough to convince me of an intelligent creator

 

[Kαmi]

Haven't you made this thread already Mypower?

OT: I do. I have my own personal reasons for believing in God that has nothing to do with the way I was brought up nor religion.

 

[Gerkak]

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

Like. I said before, anything that can be broken down into a simpler form must have a begining. The universe can be broken down to a simpler form, God on the other hand can't be broken down because God is complete and perfect in everyway.

 

[Gααrα]

I dont believe in God, I believe in Allah.

Again, this is extracting one thought, from another, as I might have said before, leading paradoxes, one after another. Per se. As a humanm I can think, and ask myself. Why did the humans sprout into existence? for what purpose exactly? To live, fulfill enjoyment for a relative time, I see, I feel, live, linger with vast thoughts, then I get shoved in the dirt, to say, It's the same way of thinking, that makes you limited to a deity who's all knowledagble, it can be done so by mutliple equivocal ways.

The universe is perceived as chaotic because people don't understand it. One example of this is that the current main physics theories, Quantum mechanics and general relativity aren't even compatible with one another.

Believing God exists cuz the Universe had to be created also comes from human's understanding

There's no purpose for us existing, we exist because of mutations in our genes

 

[Edward Snowden]

I'm Agnostic.

 

[Tyrion Lannister]

The old gods and the new?

LOL. Topics like this really shouldn't be discussed here, shouldn't it?

 

[P3ĮÑ]

There's no purpose for us existing, we exist because of mutations in our genes

Then there no purpose of anything to be exact Going by that, Why god exists? why did the big bang occur? Why do concepts exist? Only eternal bliss. Just what I said previously regarding the Equivocation compared to someone who's omniscient. It's a boxed discussion.

 

[Goetia]

Not unless I see proof that one does.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

Of course, but it's way too deep for me to explain without confusing people or sounding insane.

Religion on the other hand I'm not fond of.

 

[FunkyFatal]

There's a lot more to God than just believing in him. You must obey him as well.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. ~ James 2:19 U_U

 

[ministerC4]

So I said "F*ck this"

 

[amarusboobs]

I believe in god, but not religion.
