Belief....?

Question

Why do you believe in God?

Why don't you believe in God?

Why are you on the fence with this issue?

Answer 1

I believe in God because i feel an overwhelming sense that ALL is for a reason that benevolence and love exist in the world and that we are manifestly determined to provide cosmos from the chaos. Pantheist maybe.
I dont believe in God because i think that the egos of many in their insecurity and fear and anxiety about life and death outwardly project this awe and aweful traits inside themselves onto an imaginary being that they want to rule their lives.
I'm on the fence because on the atheist and theist side i find a distinctly distasteful fundamentalist strain of thinking which i dont think is helpful for constructive thought.

Answer 2

I'm an atheist, which means no gods (which includes all gods created in the minds of humans for the past several thousands of years), devils, souls, spirits, angels, or anything else supernatural. Everything that "is", is natural. Books of beliefs, and theories (including evolution) are all just man made ideas created in the human mind. Theories at least can be studied and one day "possibly" proven. Beliefs written into books become facts in the minds of the believers. Not because the beliefs are proven, but because the person learns to belief in those things. Often they belief simply because they feel that since we don't know the origin of life then it must be true. Belief does not make something fact.
I personally have no need for unnecessary beliefs. Knowledge is enough for me. When I don't know something I don't feel the need to make up a reason. I've lived 20 years without belief and live quite a "normal" life. Besides the fact that many "believe" I'm going to hell. I don't worry though because there is no such place.

Answer 3

The French philosopher Descartes looked at it this way:
1. You believe in God, you lead a good life. You die, go to heaven: He exists, you win on all counts.
2: You do not believe in God, you lead a good life just the same, never hurting anybody. You die, go to the other side. There is nothing, and you lose nothing
3. You believe in God, but lead a terrible life. You die, get to the other side, He exists, you end up in hell.
4. You do not believe in God, lead a terrible life, you get to the other side. There is nothing, you lose nothing except that you have been an all around terrible human being with absolutely nothing to be proud of.
In short, it is best to lead a good life - and edge your bet.

Answer 4

I don't believe a god exists. There is no devine entity that controls the universe. There has been no one able to convince me of this. I see no evidence to assure me some higher being is responsible. While I certainly can't explain everything I won't succumb to the idea that a deity is in charge. Science, biology, and logic have successfully answered every question I've ever asked while religion has answered none. There is no god...never was...never will be.

Answer 5

Every Individual has a clear view on existence or non-existance of God and follows it. It is the believer more concerned to know whether an other person also is a believer. What for? I am at a loss to understand.

Answer 6

I believe in God and His Son Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World. I am, absolutely, not on the fence about this!

Answer 7

I believe because I have experienced God. I have had my prayers answered, I have had warnings about situations, visions of my future, physical healing that was not medically possible, and felt his presence. If you read the bible, it is full of prophecy, some has come true from the past and alot is coming true for the future. Evidence is here to show God was here! Prophecy shows he's coming back!

Answer 8

I DON't believe in god.
now, look at it this way, if god really exist, why are we still suffering?
if god really exist why does our prayers works no wonders?

life is a series of pulls back and forth. you want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. something hurts you, yet you know it shouldnt. you take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. a tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. and most of us live somehwere in the middle. sounds like a wrestling match, so which side wins?

love wins. love always win.
