Do you believe in God ? why ?

Answer 1

Yes and because there is proof. Here are just a couple examples:
1. Answers to prayer
2. What I feel in my heart
and 3. What are the chances that 66 seperate documents, written over a period of 1,500 years by 40 different authors, would not have any contradictions? (Thats the Bible)

Answer 2

I believe in God for the simple fact that I made a decision... a conscience choice to do so in faith. A faith that can be taken in any other direction with any other example of belief. Everything is a choice. Not all science can be proven and yet theory exists, not all religious beliefs are proven yet there are millions of people arguing over it all everyday.

When I was growing up, we had no religion in our home. None of us were ever directed toward or led to believe there was any kind of higher power or what that even meant. nothing... the only mention of the word God was when someone was spitting out "Goddamn it" or something alone those lines. But from a very young age I knew... I had a love for something I could not see could not touch and didn't know was even there... It is like I understood instinctively something no one ever had to tell me about. I have always loved God from the very first independent thoughts I was ever able to put together. When I was only 5 years old, the first poem I ever wrote was comparing God to a rose. at 5.

I am not a religious person, I do not attend church, I have been through every known religion, in some instances even learning other languages to be better able to understand the beliefs of other cultures including greek orthodox, kami, buddhisim, aramaic and others. I have read every bible in almost all of the original printed languages I could manage, I have researched every religion extensively and the only common denominator is God and His love for us and His laws.

The way to Him should always be unimportant. THe road you travel to reach Him a small part of why you attempt it to begin with. I think people have it so wrong to preoccupy themselves with all this arguing and fighting over who is right and wrong. It defeats the purpose and it is counterintuitive and counterproductive to the entire message as a whole.

The ability to have faith is a choice. It takes the same ammount of energy to be intolerant and hate as it does to believe. Why people feel the need to chose one over the other is and always has been beyond me?

Answer 3

yes with all I am and all I'll ever be I love Him He is everything to me. I know what my life was like be4 God and what it's become since. The day I asked Jesus in my heart was on a roof top going to jump. I had hated everyone and everything for so long even God. I remember looking towards heaven and saying God if your real I need u. I've been totally sold out to God for over 15 years now and wouldn't trade my walk for anything. God is all I need

Answer 4

God is a vague word. I believe in a Creative Force, and a overall nature divinity. But that's MY God, but God itself, out there in a question is a vague word.

I do not believe the bibical God, it's outdated and illogical. And though some beliefs may not have to be logical, it's a braud kind of illogical statement. I think we can live without thinking the moral rule following the Bible and it's words, we can have inner strenght, we can forgive ourselves, and think whatever we want of afterlife- for we do not ever know.

Answer 5

I define God as the creative force behind the Universe. And since the Universe appears to exist, there must be something, that caused it to exist. That's God.

But our puny human brains aren't capable of seeing outside the box of our Universe, so in that respect we could be characters in someone's dream, actors in a play, or a science experiment in a jar on some alien kid's desk.

Answer 6

No. I believe that God, Jesus and the Chrisitan religion was made up over time as people evolved. As people got smarter, they soon realized that there was death and it scared them. The elders started passing down stories of death and an after life inorder to help people come to terms with death. By satisfying their need to know what happens after death, then they can more comfortably live in this life.

Answer 7

No... god is a made up fiction by man. Look at all the so called gods man has invented - not a one of them actually true.

It's o.k. to not believe in god.

Answer 8

Yes and because God is the Force of Nature,

just a feeling within. Oh and i dont beleive in the God of the Abrhamic three. too barbaric and cruel.

Answer 9

I believe in God because I find that "the big bang" and evolution don't cut it for me. There is such science and exactness in the world that I just can't think that it all came about by chance. But don't agree with me if you don't want to, no big. Freedom of religion and all that. ; )

Answer 10

No. I feel no connection with a higher being. Theists constantly say that God is reaching out to me, but I feel nothing, proof enough that God doesn't exist.
