Why does the president use god? because people are easily manipulated by the idea that god controls you, just be a good person, do whats right, dont be a useless piece of ****

Answer 1

Realize that God has allowed these questions to be set upon us all, a test as it may be, to further advance our knowledge of it. Everything we see has been set upon and made by God, and allowed to exist for it is the one and only way it would ever be. In particular to my belief in God, my God is that which is responsible for the Laws of Physics and all that that controls existance. Reguardless if it be a being or a set uniform of laws, it is that which is responsible for everything.

Answer 2

Many different Gods have been the answer to fundamental existential questions for thousands of years.

If you consider the big three Gods of the West it begins to look very unlikely that any of them are real. Or that the game is rigged and only those lucky enough to believe in the correct one will be "saved".

I don't think I'd call it fraud per se but I'll stand by unlikely to be real.

That said, the existence of God cannot be proven or disproven rationally. Therein lies the real problem.

Answer 3

God is not a fraud! When you look around the earth with open eyes there is no doubt God is not a fraud. All living things are produced by seed. All plants and animals are male and female. This life we have is so complex it couldn't have just happened. Our planet is a phenomenon in the location we are from the Sun. If we were any closer we'd burn up and any further away we'd freeze. We didn't just happen. God is real and he can be seen by humanity whose eyes and minds are not clouded by cynicism and hate.

Answer 4

God is not the fraud. People are the fraud. They're the ones taking his word and telling people it says things that it doesn't or vice versa. You're right, though. People should be a good person because they want to be, not only because God says to.

Answer 5

I don't think that he's a fraud.... He's doesn't control us... why do you think that we have to chose our actions wisely? If God controlled us then there wouldn't be murder or steal or anything of that sort.(unless you're one of those people that think God has a sick sense of humor and purposely kills people with natural disasters) but he is a lame excuse. We have to take responsibility for our own actions. God is a guild to your life, not an excape route. As for good deeds, they're something that's expected for us to do, not something you choose to do. God lets things go as they should. I don't think that he really interferes with the Earth all that much. Everything goes on it's own course. Call me crazy, but that's what i think.

Answer 6

No GOD is not a fraud, GOD is real & you are rt. some people do use the name of GOD to manipulate people but remenber GOD will not be mocked. GOD is a judge of the heart and not the actions of a preson, so if one uses GOD name for personal gain and not for the kingdom of GOD they will be judge. all the good i can do on my own is like filty rags to the LORD, you must have the LORD as your saviour.

Answer 7

It’s all an illusion to attract the victims, everyone must remember that the great illusion was created way before Mosses was even born. It was used by the hierarchy to enslave people to create their vision of what the world should be. Yes civilizations have evolved, but yet the mass of people are stuck in stupid. Because religion and the monetary systems mirror themselves, the illusions of the two are difficult for people to distinguish. “As in hope of going to heaven and in hopes of getting rich and live in luxury”. So to abandon one, the mass would be forced to abandon both and then they would surly be lost.
Also both were created from nothing, amazing huh!

Answer 8

She is real and the one we can truly trust. She cares for us and loves us.People talk of a false god.A god of war and hate.The true God is one of love and respect for all her children. One day we will find her and join as one. What we have has failed. One who will not see is blind to the truth To those who are free.the mind shall be key

Answer 9

When I was in high school I read many many books on many many types of religion. From Christian to Satanism. Except for like the Scientologists, and the Atheists every one of them believes in a "God" no matter what they call him- and a "Devil" no matter what they call him. Actually to the Scientologist, DNA is probably a god. I think the Bible is a good book designed to teach us moral rules on how we should conduct ourselves. Every religion has a good book. I think that prayer, and our belief in God (no matter what you call Him) is our way of believing in something bigger than ourselves, and a way of healing ourselves in troubled times. I think you need to believe in something bigger than yourself sometimes. Bush is a Southern Baptist. I think it is good that he stands up for his religion in public at a time when so many of us go to church, but deny it in public, or in the way we act. He has just as much right to believe in his God as you do in yours- whoever or whatever he or it may be. I think that the fact that people kill each other over religion is ridiculous. No God would condone that kind of behavior. Everyone has the right to believe as they do- without being hurt- BUT also without hurting others over thier own cause. That is the catch. You don't have the right to force your beliefs down someone elses throat. War after war- millions slain in the name of someones God. I think the president refers to the God he believes in because it is his way of trying to spread what he thinks is good. By standing up in public, and saying he believes in a peaceful, constructive God maybe he will inspire others to be constructive. Think of the billions of people he is supposed to be setting an example for? He has the right to his beliefs without being molested just like you do. You said "just be a good person" then you called him a useless piece of ++++++ because he talks about God. I think it boils down to people wanting to blame the president for everything. He is just the flavor of the month- year- whatever. No matter who is in office, every time something happens they have to respond. Some stupid people blew things up over here, and killed innocent people. If we hadn't gone over there they would still be blowing things up (they are still trying aren't they?) And then the normal innocent people over there asked us to stay and help them rebuild so they could regain control of thier country and thier lives. And we did. It is the right thing to do- helping out people in need- right? If someone asks you for help- and they are trying to help themselves- shouldn't you help? God doesn't control you- but he does ask that you be responsible for yourself. That is also a good thing. And none of this is an opinion that is hiding behind a diety.

Answer 10

God is no fraud, but there are plenty of people that use Him in a fraudulent way.
