Do YOU believe in God? - Peach - 07-07-2009
Do YOU believe in God? Write the reasons...
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - Terry - 07-08-2009
Yes, I believe. I think the world cannot exist by itself and in nature, in everything around us He is felt. I am religious and believe in the heaven and the hell, and the Apocalypse.
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - Faw_Peter - 07-09-2009
Why not? it's better to believe than not to, you don't lose anything if you have faith. So I think that there exists a power which guides us.
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - Big_Becka - 07-10-2009
I would like to beleive in God. But, honestly, I don't feel anything. Maybe I will have some kind of revelation one day?!
I would like to have the support network of a religion, and belong to a community. I have extensive 'Christmas' / winter celebrations every year! And I would love to get married: I must be the only girl in the world whose parents don't want her to get married! :lol:
But my parents were atheists, so I had it drummed in to me that organised religion is just a way of controlling people, and of holding women back in particular :-( I do think religions exploit our desire to belong to a group.
My father and I are interested in religions, and my father taught me proverbs and ideas from most religions. Also, my wider family are mixed religion. So how would I choose which religion and denomination to follow?!

Yes I do believe. How many times go to church, I feel relieved, like someone taking my cat! I believe in my guardian angel and I know he takes care of me and the other angels to others! there is a supreme power! god is for me for others alah, mohamed etc. :ange
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - Nathan - 07-23-2009
I can not say I go every day or every week in church but I know to say a prayer, I know someone watch me and takes care of me up there .... yes I believe that God exists! we all have to believe this! you can not live without something to believe in
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - Kusnetsov - 07-27-2009
I do not believe in god. The reason is obvious.

The question just was: "Do YOU believe in God?". I answered "No". The reason just seems obvious to me (from my own position).
As for me, I belive in Life (e.g.). This may seem a bit abstract to you. But for me this notion is not more abstrac than the notion of God.

of course you choose in what to believe! I am agree with you about this topic and its abstractivity ! I can not say I'm spiritual but not atheistic either! I'm more realistic and believe in what I see and what I'v been through!

The same, I think.
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - Benn - 07-29-2009
may I ask what are the principles in your life? after what rules you live? what makes you be like you? and what, or who could change you?

I don't think my life principles are somewhat unique. I live my life with the thought that I'm surrounded with the world of ideas in its space-time continuum. I.e. for all its history, Present time inclusive, Mankind has been creating many intersting things, using its talant and genius, within the worlds of spirit and matter. (Though I realize Mankind is daaamned imperfect). That's why I'm curious and am still discovering new things.
I also consider a human being living just one life. After this comes noting. There's no God in my world (still IT is in yours, isn't it). That's why I try to live a valuable life. And to care of people, who are important for me, not to be indifferent.
What or who may change me? Everything and everyone for I live not in the closed world. But often it's books and people.
I've tried to explain.

Be careful what you wish , cause you might get it...

Quote:Be careful what you wish , cause you might get it...
I get what I wish. And I like it. Or are you talking about the hell awaiting me after death? "Hell is the others", as Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre said, and I agree with him. Actually the most important fact I've ever learnt is "42".
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - M.Helen - 07-30-2009
has nothing with hell! Sometimes people may wish for other or for them not only good! let say, to be alone, to be reach, to have another life, another parents,to feel bad ... so be careful, you can get what you want! what you will do then?...and not only you but all of us!

I'm not surprised of your answer! Are you a man who prefers instead to pray and wait for miracles to find a solution. Thanks for the answer!
Re: Do YOU believe in God? - hellodear - 08-11-2009
yes.., i do. i feel it, i cant confirm anybody in it, but for me God is a universal mind, something that we can feel, but not to see.. it is a eternity...

Re: Do YOU believe in God? - FreeThinker - 08-16-2009
I do not believe in God and have no intentions of believing in God in future.
Reasons: In my opinion, God is a wonderful concept. Depending on 1) what you believe about God, religion can do both good and bad to you (though IMO, good and bad are relative and perspective rather than absolute) and 2) depending on how much you believe in God can take you that farther in that direction (example: Saints, Islamic terrorists). Yet, I am better of without any alignment to God. I get what I want and am happy doing things myself and taking responsibility for them.

and then how to explain that people Catholics, Orthodox, Islam, Jews, etc. are ready for their love to change religion?
