Yes. God answers questions we can't answer ourselves. Unless the alternative is found, I believe God is a reasonable assumption. And personally, it feels right.IP: Logged |

No I do not believe in God or anything fellow humans call god(s).
I have theories as to what people think or in the past, mistook for god(s).
And in a nutshell,
"what is a god?".
Any entity more advanced than the species that worships or fears it.
A child in our times could to ancient people, appear godlike, or a god if the child could show them video games and all.
So no, I do not believe in a god as most think of a god as being.
If there is anything out there that created the universe; it could care less about what you want, who has wars, and so forth. Billions and billions of worlds out there; and we are not even a speck by comparison.
We are on our own. That is how it should be.
Maybe some day will will meet the advanced beings that may have had a hand in seeding life on this planet. Or maybe no one did.
However advanced such would have been/are;
does not make them be gods.

Hello riyasaini741!  (Saw your website... wow!)Definitive Yes. God exists.... separate from "religion." Religion is based on Culture and Tradition. (Thanks, somethingexcellent!) God "is".... [comedy sidebar here]:
Were you a fan of TV comedy in the 1960s and 1970s? Reminds me of this 'game' the children played on 'The Addams Family'... (clip) Addams family, Wednesday & Pugsley clip.... It's called, 'Is there a god?' [0:20] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtYz_Q3PWrs IP: Logged |

I have theories on that issue.
However I do not believe in an all powerful creator god or in any god called god by humanity.
There are no actual gods,just possibly beings more evolved

I do not believe in god/gods.
I believe we humans are on our own and when we stop looking to a big daddy in the sky or some other excuses for not taking responsibility for our actions and actually extend love and compassion to All humanity. then we will survive as a species. If not, mankind is doomed to eventual extinction.
Just my take on it.
And miracles are simply things we do not yet have an explanation for. No need for a god to be involved.
What we see as science, the primitive people would see as a miracle.
Electricity for example.

^I believe that God created everything, but I also believe that God has allowed us freewill to do as we please. Starving children throughout the world is an act of humans, not God, and God doesn't interfere because of our freewill. To ask what kind of God would allow suffering is wrong. God allows us to live and experience whatever life offers. You can't ask why God allows people to suffer, you have to ask why people allow people to suffer.I believe that God is beyond us, our universe, dimension, whatever you wish to call it. God is undefinable. I believe that God is beyond the laws of our existence - he is beyond having to have a start or an end, he is eternal but he is also beyond eternal because the word eternal isn't enough to capture God's grace. Even calling him a he is trying to understand something that can't be understood - God is beyond just he or she or both or neither because words are limiting and God is limitless. Until we can discover answers to questions such as when and why existence began, I will believe in God, not only because it feels right, but because it's the only answer we have right now. That said, do not really subscribe to any religion. IP: Logged |

I agree with somethingexcellent! Sorry for a bit of mild sarcasm.... but I want to say that as I look at those emaciated children in the photos above, I wonder about the masses of people, the human species on this planet... Where IS the "freewill" here? Looks to me like 'Freewill' has been stolen or swindled from these people... People who are starving, people who are hungry, depend on people with uber-abundance to practice the personal "test" of freedom... Will the poor be "free" to die, or not-die. Those who are well able and look onto such photos may feel the pull on their heart... but it TAKES an applying of "FREEwill" to ACT upon that which their heart, and their mind, knows they can do. Some people translate it all into terms of money and coins.... (and the big charity orgs prefer it that way-- it's easier). But sometimes that FREE will action can be turned to organizing others to help, too. If there are elderly in your community who are poor, sometimes just helping them paint or clean their steps, or do yardwork is immensely helpful! Pick up loose trash and throw it out for them. No money involved there, necessarily. Lexxigramer, you've posted words for this song before.... (music) What If God Were One Of US? (Alanis Morissette) [5:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90P0n5AlSlA
The world is free-- free to let them die, or not-die. We have that liberty, to CHOOSE to do Justice for them, which our own good hearts and freewill know on their behalf; or we can just numb-out for another round of time, or doze-off, from the overwhelm, ignorance, or apathy.
We can pray that ALL of us are supplied with grace and power to "do". May these be strengthened until "God" shows up in their yard...

I find it strange that people feel there must be some deity involved in afterlife and or reincarnation.
Also because atheists do not believe in god(s)
too often they do not believe in reincarnation or lucid existence after physical death.
My query is;
"What has a god to do with it"
NOTHING.
I feel reincarnation is true; it so far seems to be. However nothing can be proved yet.
I do not believe in a heaven or hell, not in the traditional sense; but that is another topic, and basically in my opinion is not actual reality.
So YES I buy for now the concept that we continue after body death; and if anyone can prove otherwise or something otherwise;
I will say yes, we go on.
But no religion, gods, or control freak systems, or egocentric hierarchies are involved.

I agree with you that it's not 'God' here that's the problem..... The problem is with the BAD "Authority" -- Authority Misbehaving openly here on Earth!! Let's put that "responsibility" where it belongs..... PEOPLE! IP: Logged |
