Do you believe in a higher power ex. God, Buddah, Vishnu, Allah etc..................?

Question

By the way I am a christian, but do not degrade anyone elsesreligion. I find it very interesting and am currently researching to write a book

Answer 1

Yes I do believe there is a good. And that is "Allah" i am a muslim.And Allah means god in arabic this is the same god that jews and christians believe in but the only difference is we believe in one god alone and mohammed (peace and blessing be upon him), is the messanger. I respect every other religion and what I believe in is, no matter what religion we are were all the same. And the only judge is god. I respect every relegion.

Answer 2

I believe in a mix, personally. I do not believe in any of the mainstream's interpretations, but I do believe that there is something out there that makes certain things happen. If you take some of the most notorious historical events, such as Hitler's rise to power, the shooting of JFK and Ghandi, and the sinking of the Titanic to name a few, so many things happened in them that almost prevented their occurance. There are too many 'if only's' for my liking.
Also, it is statistically so unlikely that earth was so perfect for life, that events leading to evolution (which I also believe in) would happen... I just don't see how there can't be.

Answer 3

Yes. I'm a Hindu. We have millions of names for God (and chanting just one of them is said to be enough to help focus the mind on God).

Brahman, Ishvara, Ganesh, Krishna, Saraswati......etc
Brahman means "expanding consciousness"
Ishvara means "personal Lord"
Ganesh means "Lord of intellect & Wisdom"
Krishna means "dark skinned one"
Saraswati means "flowing stream" (as in the flowing stream of God through Creation)

*For the record the Buddha is seen by some Hindu sects as an incarnation of God. Buddhists do not revere the Buddha (or any of the other Buddhas) as God...in fact the individual Buddhist is left to decide on their own if there is or is not a God. The Buddha in Buddhism is merely revered as a great teacher. Buddha simply means "enlightened one". It is some Hindus, not Buddhists, who give the Buddha divine status. Just to clarify (since I have studied Buddhism and have many Buddhist friends and who often get frustrated with people who have this misconception about the Buddha).The same is true about Mahavira of Jainism. Jains don't consider Mahavira divine, but some Hindu sects have incorporated him as an incarnation of God. Thankfully Hindus have no problem with Yeshu (Jesus) since Christians already view Jesus as an incarnation of God so the fact that some Hindu sects also do this does not cause misconceptions. (Hinduism has many incarnations of God...God has incarnated many times and not just as a human, but also in other forms as well....because it is believed that whenever creation calls out for God and injustice and inequality have gotten so out of control then God hears the cries and incarnates to help reset the balance in creation and to stop injustice and inequality).
