I grew up as a christian, in fact I still go to christian school (I am 17 years of age). The traditional christian view on God is that he created the world somewhere between 4,000 -4,000,000,000 years ago, made everything at once, and created man to have fellowship with him. Man screwed up, and now God (doing his best to not infringe on our free will) is helping us get to know him and better each others and ourselves. I have a hard time believing this. Maybe it's nievete, but I have a hard time believing there is such a benevolent figure to credit with a world such is ours. I believe that men are awful, contemptable creatures, and a good loving God could've and should've done better. Whether or not it is our nature, God should'nt have made a creature he knew was primarily doomed. I don't know if there is a God, I find it pretty hard to believe something as crazy as our existence came into event by mistakes, but I don't think that some omnipotent being intercedes in our lifes and helps us find our keys when we pray. I think if there is a God I would like to ask him some questions, and if he sends me to hell for having my doubts then he is kind of a jerk. But who knows.

I know God is real, and he surfs!
I have traveled to many places, but I will use Indonesia for an example.
Perfect! The open ocean colors that range from the deepest blue, then as the swells start wrapping around FLAWLESS, SYMMETRICALLY PERFECT REEFS, the waves get this aquiline-crystallized shimmer that looks like blue glass.
And the waves are machine like in their consistency.
You also witness all manner of sea-life, incredible.
The western islands of Sumatra are called the Mentawis, and there are no non-believers that have ever left their beauty.
The Indonesian people of Sumatra are wonderful as well.
Muslim, Christian, (Which I am), Buddhist, Hindu, makes no difference there,
People are just people, living together in peace in the Mentawis.
I have always believed in God, but going to INDONESIA convinced me HE SURFS.

I was not raised in a church so I don't know much about the story's in the bible. I had a very hard life , my mother sister and I lived in shelters most of my childhood , when my mother went to jail ( for writing bad checks to buy food and cloths ) my sister and I were sent to live with an abusive alcoholic . So I don't have much faith in god
I mean I have two beautiful kids and a wonderful husband but the damage is done .

I am Mature.
THERE IS NO DEITY WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT THE GOD, "ALLAH" The Most Benificiant and Most Merciful.
Unique, Only Sustainer, Provider, Without Partner, No Father no Sun, Daughter.,
Creator of every living, nonliving things. Is there since ever and no end.
Touchstone of Theology:
‘Theo’ in Greek means God and ‘logy’ means study. Thus Theology means study of God and to Muslims this four line definition of Almighty God serves as the touchstone of the study of God. Any candidate to divinity must be subjected to this ‘acid test’. Since the attributes of Allah given in this chapter are unique, false gods and pretenders to divinity can be easily dismissed using these verses.
Surah Ikhlas (Chapter 112) of the Glorious Qur’an, is the touchstone of theology.
"Say: He is Allah,
The One and Only.
"Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him."
[Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]
God does not take human form:
God does not perform ungodly acts:
God does not make mistakes
God does not forget
God only performs Godly acts

I am 18 and I attend a Christian school, Azusa Pacific University. I believe that God is the creator of everything and that He created everything in six days. I believe in basically what Christians do, and more maybe. I am a Catholic, so I also beleive in the Virgin Mary mother of Jesus Christ.

God is love, he is real and though his realness can be seen in his glorious creation and wonderous miracle of a newborns birth. That he proved his love, by sending his own son to die on the cross for our sins, taking our place... Anyone who sincerely seeks him, he will manifest himself to them in a more personal way. He rains on the just and the unjust, waters the crops of those who serve him and those who don't . I believe he is no respect of persons. that he never created man to only live for 70 or plus years, labour and die. I believe he has a plan for each individual , not only here, but everlasting life with him. Lastly I believe that to all who look for him he will return according to his word.

I believe that God is an energy, not a humanlike form. I believe that God is in everything, including us humans. I believe that He is totally non-judgemental and will never send a person to hell.

1.G___ FOR GENERATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
2.O___ FOR ORGANIZER OF THE UNIVERSE AND COSMOS.
3.D___ FOR DESTROYER OF EVERYTHING.
I believe that there is ONly One Alone God who is The Creator of us all is the Nourisher of us all and is Alone Sufficent for all creatures at times of tribulation, adversity and stress. God The AlMighty is with us all the time is available to each of the creatures and helps and saves all those who call upon God.
When God created things, God created them in pairs. All males and females are creatures on earth and in heaven and God is gender free because God does not resembles with Gods creatures.
God is The Absolute Holy in Gods Holiness and Only One Alone God in Gods Oneness and Loneliness.
God is One which does not means One in counting but One because there is no other God. Absolute in reality and ultimate in creation.
Since nothing resembles God therefore God is unseen, unfelt and untouched. Since inception no one could see God and no one can see God and God is realized only through Gods Creation and Gods Mighty works and that is the most magnificent mega fact.
God created the conscious, senses of the creatures and enabled them to see and hear, so that they could ponder over the creation of things and realize their God and their Lord. God commanded them through messengers to have faith in One Alone God Only and all messengers left behind the same message.
