no and i don't need to give a "why no" for the same reason that i don't need to give a reason for not believing in the purple spaghetti monster and flying elephants and upside down hammocks.
Not having a belief is not an affirmative statement and therefore requires no support.

I believe in a higher power but I'm not sure I can rationally believe in a personal God....i.e. of the Bible. I believe in the power of people...people helping people. I really think that primitive man needed a "father" and Gods from every tribe were created. On the other hand, who really knows? Human beings do seem to be hardwired to believe in a deity.

i think it goes down to what u belive n what u have experince n see thus subsequently these world lead to ur own opinions. i respect other ppl opinions, I believe in god, in the quran, i believe in the existance of angels and ghost etc and i also believe that for the human race to progress forward, it is of paramount importance that we are good to ourself and each other. Whist there is no scientific reason to believe in god, i believe in god becuase i believe in my faith n i believe that the reason why ppl still commit crimes n why there is war has nothing to do with god becuase while god created human beings god created human beings with a brain to decide what's right from wrong. the reason why there's war n bad things going on is becuase of humans n the detrimental effect human have on other humans, its to do with greed and power. It saddens me that things that humans do taht asscociate with God's name n that subsequently that forms a negative impresion on other ppl. In short, i believe in god n i believe that human beings need to be more broad minded n appreciative of thier lifes and do things to help other improve the quality of thier lifes/.

No, because I can't believe in something I can't feel. And I feel nothing but disgust and annoyance when God is mentioned because of how people perceive the world as magical and fake. Life is the time you have while your alive, and that's it.

Yes I believe in Jesus because I've personally seen people healed before my eyes and have been healed by Him myself.

Can't seem to decide. The arguments either way just don't seem to fit comfortably.

"Yes," because my prayers are answered.
Not getting the answer you wanted isn't the same as not getting an answer.

I don't because "why 'yes'?" doesn't have a convincing answer.
