True. I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's "Small Gods" too.

TRUE! I don't think that people realilze their own power. Nelson Mandella said (and I believe it) that people are not afraid of their darkness but of their light. They are not afraid of the things they don't know...they are afraid of the things that the do know. People, even myself included, are afraid of our own power and therefore deny it and create an idea of a power ourside ourselves...especially in times of desperation.
In short people are afraid of reponsibility and don't want to be responsibile. I think that the existance of "God" is the the same as that philosophical thought concerning a tree falling in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it make a sound. If no "ears" are there to translate air vibration into sound...then there is not sound...vibration maybe but no sound.
If there are not people around to believe in "God", then the existance of God can not be relevant as God has to have some cognizant beings around to do its "mission". If the viable tool for creation and action (humans) are gone, no mission can be accomplished.
Mind power is amazingly powerful...we humans are afraid of it and therefore limit our abilities.
For Christians who are doubtful of this...Jesus said, "Greater works that this will you do!" YOU TOO can do great miracles if you free yourself of fear, guilt, anxiety and doubt. We all can...we're just afraid and fear is the great inhibitor of success on both the spiritual and physical relm. The force driving these miracles is within and not without.

In The begining GOD Created the heaven and earth, Gen 1:1 does that sound as though YOUR GOD has no power, He spoke, He commanded and it came into being, He commanded and it heald fast Psalms 33:9, your belief let me put that another way For God "SO" Loved the world that IF you BE-LIVE in Him, IF you believe in Him keep His commandments, that won't change His power that is God's but IF you BE-LIVE in Him and love Him enough to keep His commandments [not suggestions] it will do alot for your outcome at the end of your life, which is comming at a time YOU DO NOT EXPECT, pray about making your exit [Jesus] and His relationship with Him in order, keep you exit [Jesus] free from ANYTHING that will block it, free bible lessons learn more www.itiswritten.com EMAIL not messanger me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless you

I don't believe in God, but I do believe in the power of belief to drive people's behavior. So I guess it's true. God only exists in people's heads, but that's a lot of heads.

false. Just because you believe it such, that doesn't mean your wish would be granted. For example, if a person believes that god would give him power or whatever superhuman strength to do bad things, it would never happen, doesn't matter on how strong his believe is. The belief got to be just.

This is false, because God did not (or does not) create at arm's length; God created us as part of God, because that is what creation means. Belief is part of our perception that we are separate from God, and one another, when in truth, we remain just as created. Belief does nothing to the infinitely beautiful reality of God. We use the power of God to project this physical "life"; but it is not creation, therefore can be changed, as a child erasing a chalk board...but creation is eternal.

That is dangerously close to my beliefs, in a rather less convoluted way.
(I say true on account of the law of conservation of energy, because I like a healthy dose of science mixed in with my religion. Who says they don't work together?)

the gods of power and money are limited by believers and the power that others give them, but the God of love and truth is limited to nothing...

True, there is no God just people who unite behind an idea of one.
