Do you believe in god, Why or Why not?

Well, atlast another thread such as this one.

I believe in god, because I believe in the bible. It's just something that i know it isn't imaginary, or fake, like when I'm shooting in basketball, and I know I'll make it. It's kind of the same way, I know it's real because I just get that special feeling when things happen.

What is your opinion on this?

Yes I do.

Blah, There's many new members, those posts are all the good oldschool members.

Not at all, there is no real proof to support that there IS a god. The bible contradicts itself so many times it's not even funny.

Ah holy crap you're stupid, you have to study the bible to figure out that it doesn't contradict itself....have you done that?

Yeah I believe in God. For the reasons that slaynish stated and also that someone had to start mankind.

I believe in Buddah. Buddism respects other religions.
I also believe in other non religion stuff, but wont dive into that. (ninja stuff, etc)

Though it isn't my religion, I do believe that Buddhism does have good morals.

Where is the partly!!

I believe in God because I have tested my faith so many times and gotten a reply back. Slim, the bible doesn't constantly contradict itself. To me, God is a postulate. He can't be proven, but he can't be disproven, he's something that has to be accepted, either in life or death.

most of life doesnt make sense i think thats why people came up with religion to explain things no offense but i think people who believe in a god are simple minded....

And if he is real, he is demented...To many bad things happen and not enough good things to offset them.

I'm not a religious person at all, but I believe that there's a possibility that there's a higher being. But then again, seeing is believing IMO.

The Bible itself was written by man and therefore has the possibility of having imperfections. It has also been translated so many times that I've given up believing most of the things it has to say. It does however, make for some pretty darn interesting reading material.

MAC, the thing is, this "god" gave man a freedom to choose. The choices that are made can lead to good or bad things for you and or other people. e.x. someone's choice to murder or commit suicide.

Chew on this madness (bear with me), if you are saying that there is no God because there is too much evil, you are contradicting yourself in a sense. This is because your beliefs about there being a god are based around the notion that a god has to be good and pure. While this could be a way to disprove that there is a Christian God, my original arguement nullifies that statement, because the reason that there is evil (according to Christians) is not because there isn't a god, but because this god gave humans the power to choose, and the brain to decide what is right and wrong. If you are arguing that there is no higher "god" at all, because of all the evil in the world, you are basing your beliefs around a Christian god, and........ I win.

Who the fuck said I was debateing? I stated my reason for not beliveing in god. No debate intended, you don't win. Eveybody has bad things happen to them in there lives. God is suppose to be good, Thats the basies of most religons. None of my or anyone else's choices has cuased the bad things that have happened in my life. So far I've lost many people for differnt reasons. They havent all died, but they might as well have died. It would have been easier to get over. I won't go into detail, because it would be a very depressing post. Don't try to change my views.

I don't believe in god.

I do believe in God because its obvious there is a GOD. I mean, scientifically there may not be any proof, but this universe was started somehow. This whole galaxy was started from somewhere. For all we know we could be a test tube for some fucking aliens and we're just a giant ass science experiment.

God is all around us, all the time. When you do something good, you feel good, that is because god is with you. When you get pissed off , you might say goddamnit. Now, that itself is quite negative, and when you say it you feel bad, thats because you are rejecting god. I dunnon about all of this emotional bullshit, but I feel VERY VERY strongly there is a god.

I didn't mean to make it sound like I was debating, sorry about that, I guess the whole I win thing made it sound that way, but I was kidding. I was just speculating... in a sense. I was tired at the time... but anyways, I do believe and god, and that is all, no hard feelings.
