[Discussion] Existence of a God.

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Whoa, whoa, that's not true. You don't need religion to believe in a purpose in life

Okay, I should add generally speaking. But atheists believe everything happened by chance normally, while theists believe there is a higher power that put us here for a reason.

@red : No one "needs" to believe in a higher in a higher power Lol No it's not a part of nature it's something that is learned not ingrained to someone's brain.

@bold : Humans choose what morality not s God. People tend to get confused by this.

@green: Care to explain that ?

@#1:I think what he was saying, was that humans want to believe that something is always looking out for them. If I was alone on this Earth with no one to talk to or interact with....I can't even imagine the pain or suffering of being that alone. Especially if I were in danger and had no one to call for help.

because ever since man could think beyond what I'm gonna eat today or am i gonna find shelter it has thought of god. before it was the moon or the sun or hell maybe some tribe believed in trees but the point is that man sought out god. (before all the corrupt religions like christianity and the jews and all we have now) back before they could use "gods" name to control the masses they sought him out and i believe that curiosity was implanted in us by that god to see what we would do.

if theres one thing I've learned about humans in my studies is that we cant agree on jack sh*t. we love to fight and kill each other and argue over land and policies but one thing that has always remained a constant is that no matter how vastly our societies and thoughts differ we all seek god

This. Why question others beliefs? Just let them be them. You gotta live life knowing that you have an opinion that can't be duplicated in the exact same way. No one believes in something the same way another does. This is even true with stone facts, such as there are people who still believe the world is flat...when it's not.

That's true but people don't have the right to discriminate against others because you think your belief is "right".

Theists have a hard time believing that everything happened by chance and believe there is a reason we are here. That reason varies through religion/belief.

Riker Slade is right about how you can't prove something doesn't exist though. I don't know... some people just have a sense of spirituality while others do not I guess. I just don't see why it matters to others whether somebody believes in something or not.

Why would theists need a religion to have purpose ? XD

 

[Kaneki Kun]

I'm not going to say much (don't want people catching feelings now) but people need to learn to stop separating Science and beliefs from each other.

What loki D posted, the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence.

I don't think you understand. I mean as to why we were put here not like getting a job and chasing after your "dreams". Because according to science all we are here for is to keep reproducing and then die and become soil for the plants, in the grand scheme of things that is pointless. Why is it that our DNA is so fixated on survival?

Some people need to know "why" and are not satisfied with just "how".

Also who said we were discriminating?

You don't know what he was trying to say. He said it's human nature and hasn't given me evidence.

According to Freud it is human nature and technically everything we do is according to human nature.

Irrelevant. Prove why then.

 

[V h o]

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

Believe saying something doesn't exist because there is no proof is a fallacy (argument from ignorance) anyway

 

[YowYan]

You'll never be able to reason with believers.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

Some people just have a feeling that there's something greater out there and look for the answer. While others don't feel there's more and look for the answers to prove that wrong.

Those are the steaming points when people think for themselves spiritually(past what family has shown). Then from there people find answers they can believe in.

There is no divine purpose why we're here. The purpose of life is to find your own purpose. For me it's to enlighten people and look at things objectively and subjectively.

That's right. Everyone should devote themselves to Broseidon and Brodin. The world would be a better place

Exactly.

 

[SuperJak777]

Discrimination will happen no matter what answer the majority comes to.
What we choose to discriminate is a choice society makes.
You don't have to listen to their discrimination if you don't want to.
It is hard to avoid at times, but if you let it bother you, you will end up looking at it and doing the exact same thing with the opposite answer as your doing now.
Is it any more reasonable to discriminate a majority view than it is a minority view?
Unfortunately, I am not a smart enough man to answer that kind of question.

 

[Luther]

God exists. How else was this world created? People are gullible in my opinion if they believe there was a huge explosion which magically created the whole universe. God created the world in six days and the seventh day he rested.

 

[Fodder#3]

From what I see people usually think that a God exists. What I don't understand is why ? The concept of God has never been proven with proof. It's a belief. Belief - confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof:faith. People usually think that since Science doesn't have the answers to everything,then God did it which is The God of Gaps argument,since we don't know why or how something happens whether it be the creation of the universe or morality it must've been God which doesn't make much sense when you really think about it. That's what religion does it doesn't change it's stance and think it's infallible. Unlike Science which has admitted many occasion where it's been wrong.

How can one prove a God exists ? It's something man made it's a primitive concept,it's never been proven it's just a belief it's not anything factual why can't people understand this.

I got a question for you. If I create a box. Does that mean that box has a creator? If I create the light bulb does that mean the light bulb has a creator? Then I ask you, WHO created the humans? How did humans come into existence? How did life come into existence? We just magically appeared? on a planet that was coming to the PERFECT temperature, with the PERFECT distance away from the sun, with the PERFECT atmosphere, with the PERFECT oxygen levels? Everything went PERFECTLY fine. Everything went PERFECTLY safe? Everything went PERFECTLY in sequence? with the PERFECT sync? with the PERFECT gravity of the planet? I doubt that there is anything on the physical universe that can create such existence. My question is why is it so hard to not believe in god? Look around you. Everything just miraculously came to be. Our universe, wait why talk about the universe when I can talk about the planet. Oh wait why talk about the planet when I can talk about the human body. Oh why talk about a human body when I can talk about a SINGLE CELL. ANYTHING that HUMANS have made is nothing as close to being as complex as the cell. What is science? Is it a explanations of everything based on what we can see? What we can touch? What we can Hear? What we can smell? What the 5 humans senses sense? That is what science defines. Explaining phenomenon's through the 5 human senses. But most of the stuff we have theories about are not adhering to the 5 human senses.

Heres something for people like you. God tested Humanity. How you say? In the Quran, he says Dont even try to make a human, try to REPLICATE a SINGLE CELL. We have the knowledge, but yet we cant even replicate it? We cant even create something so simple? A single cell that is the is reason why we exist. A cell that contains DNA that is more complex then anything that a human has made. That scientist did a 10 year study on it and when they thought they knew everything about the DNA, they were once again mind blown. To this day they dont know everything about the DNA. So my question to YOU is that PLEASE try to disprove the QURAN by GODS test to humans. Please try to replicate/create a single CELL.
