Do you believe in God? Why or Whynot?

Question

Just askin

Answer 1

Yes, I do believe in God.
Why? Originally I believed in God because I was brought up that way, but now that I am adult I believe in God as a result of intense theological study.

My faith as grown and matured as a result of this study and by witnessing the handiwork of God. Faith is a gift from God.
“Faith is a supernatural virtue whereby, under the inspiration and assistance of grace, we believe those things revealed by God to be true, not because the intrinsic evidence of those things has been perceived by the natural light of reason, but because of the authority of God Himself revealing who can neither deceive nor be deceived."
Vatican Council I

Answer 2

Yes I do! I am a Christian. I was raised in a Christian home, but for years I was an agnostic. I decided to do some research to determine if there was a God or not. To decide one way or the other. After some extensive research I decided that the "big bang" theory has too many holes in it and therefore cannot be true, so there definitely is a God. I checked into Buddhism, Islam, Paganism and several other religions before deciding that Christianity was right for me. I enjoy the teachings in the Bible, the Golden Rule, the Commandments, etc. I enjoy having a personal relationship with God and I pray that everyone will be able to develop the same kind of relationship that I enjoy. God bless you.

Answer 3

I don't believe in deities of any kind. It does not make sense to me that there are beings who are omniscient and omnipotent, watching us 24/7 and scribbling down our every sin and mistake. What do they think they are, the government??
I can accept that life is unfair and there's just nothing anyone can do about it, and there will be no otherworldly retribution. I can also accept that life ends at death.
Every nutcase out on the street justifies his or her irrational, destructive actions by pointing to the Bible or the Qu'ran and saying, "God/Allah/Jehovah told me to do it." Why aren't they ever carrying copies of the works of Rousseau, Locke, Voltaire, or Rand?
I'll take my chances with reason and rationality, science and technology, thank you very much.
Read the history of religion, particularly in the West. See for yourself how religion shackles the human spirit all around he world. Decide for yourself if it is really helpful when people say that the church is perfect, but people are bad. Then, maybe you will realize that atheism is really not the horror it is reputed to be.
God was invented by man, not the other way around.

Answer 4

I believe we that there is a higher power or universal force.
I also believe that we are all "God-Like" and that we co-create our own world. Whatever you want to believe in whether you call it God or George, to each their own. As long as living your life to do good and be good..then it really doesn't matter what you call it.

I think religion and spirituality are 2 different things.
Religion is a teaching and spirtuality is something that you develop as you learn and grow in this life time.

Answer 5

Truly I have no answer for this. I am looking for a good religion and I was a Christian. I think that there may be a higher power, maybe not. This is a question without an answer available to mortals.

Answer 6

God exsist and it doesn't make a difference who believes, but we have free will to do whatever we want. it is man who created our technolgy, it is God that created the world......AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO BLAME GOD FOR THE BAD THINGDS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE (and everyone has some) THEN YOU MUST BLAME HIM FOR THE GOOD THINGS (and everyone has those) I know there are some who have more than others, but you reap what you sow, and if you lied & cheated, then it will come back to haunt you. and not because of God's doing, but your own

Answer 7

Of course I do. But I believe in the one and only God. The father, the son, and the holy spirit.

Answer 8

I am non religious, because I have faith in my self; however I understand why people need faith in a higher being to get by. I am under the assumption that God is an imaginary friend for adults.

Answer 9

I do. Life makes more sense with having a GOD, and GOD is real....have you ever tried talking to Him? He does answer....maybe not in a voice way, but He always does answer....Life would have no sense without GOD around....Its living every day without someone watching over you or seeing all the good you do.....without someone who cares for you....without someone you can call to and talk to in every moment....do you agree? GOD is really needed in life...
