Re: do you believe in God?

I believe in god because i dont know all the secrets of the universe, so where else can i look to as to why we are here? the infinite vastness of the universe cannot be a result coincidental events, there must be someone behind it all. god is a belief because we need someone to look to for all life's mysteries

Re: do you believe in God?

Personally I find it very hard to believe in God. There is no proof and with out it, it is just a theory. God is something most people fear if they don't believe in him, they hide behind God as if to say that his morals are their morals as well. The problem with this is that they are not free to think about anything else or any other possibilities. This is almost true for every religion. As well believing in your God means that you can't believe in anything else therefore rejecting other cultures instead of embracing them.

Re: do you believe in God?

I think most Christians cannot even agree on the rules of what God actually is. But let's play this logically. If God was present at the beginning of the universe, and created the Big Bang, and we are all a part of his calculations, the bible being written by man as a philosophical guide to existence and ethical guide to living (most ancient countries liked to say their laws were god-given, as to enforce the laws mentally to it's population), and Jesus was just a nice man who died for his beliefs (if he believed he died for our sins, then, technically, he did die for our sins), then it is possible for him to exist. But there is no way to prove or disprove God. The Pastafarians had this one down pretty well. They used Darwinism to prove their religion. And if that were the case, it is very possible for Christians to prove theirs. Only they'd need to be realistic in their beliefs.

Re: do you believe in God?

I do belive in god; after all the world and the universe had to created by something. There is no true proof that god exists, other than my faith as a beliver. However, there is proof that Jesus did actually exist, and he was a beliver, god probably does exist.
Also there are several religions that center on an ultimate, omnipotent being that created the world and is present in the everyday lives of the belivers of those faiths. Although these religions use different languages and names, the simmilarities between them seem to point towards the existence of God.

Re: do you believe in God?

Do i believe in god? Yes. If there was no god then who else created earth, space, the moon, the stars ect.? Man can not make nor create these things. So who else would have created these things besides someone who has the power to breathe life into a body.? Without god alot of things that man cannot create would not be here. Believing in him can be a comfort zone for others but for me its the way i live my life everyday. I believe in him because he was a man that was known to do the impossible and today on earth we are surround by so many impossible things. So why not believe in god?

Re: do you believe in God?

Yes, I do believe in God. He is the Creator and the All-Powerful, where everything began. There are so many people all around the world who believe in God, which I must say cannot just be a mere coincidence. There must be something true to that.

Anyone who really believes in something or someone views that belief as a Truth to their reality and always will. Being individual beings everyone thinks differently, so it should make sense that everyone believes differently as well.

I think belief in God allows people to see and value morals in life, and live a life that not only themselves and their families can be proud of, but also one that God can be happy and proud of as well. It is true that many people in the world use religion and beliefs for their own personal uses and take advantage of peoples faith, but that is clearly wrong. The wrong of those people who take advantage of belief, and NOT the wrong of religion or God.

All in all, I believe in God and that belief means a lot to me. It affects me and my morals and values everyday. I believe that this belief helps me to love, to almost always try to be the best person that I can be, and never give up. It is definitely not a comfort zone, but a true meaning and belief in life that is true to me and hopefully many other people in the world.

In contrast, all of the beliefs of others are... I guess, true to them. But I know I am not one to judge on these huge and complicated matters. I'm just getting my opinion/thoughts across.
