None. I know the difference between right and wrong, and live my life accordingly, but on my own terms.
No proof, apart from some book written 200 years ago. I can see no logical explanation for God or Gods, apart from Man's own inadequacy to explain everything. "I don't know how that works, so it must be God's work."
I read the other day that some woman prayed to Pope John Paul, and when she woke up her headache had gone, and that's being classed as one of his miracles so he can be made a saint!!! And they wonder why we atheists think they're all idiots.
If there is a God, I'm sure that as long as I can explain myself to Him, He will be happy.
Part of me sincerely hopes that there isn't a God, because then all those damn bible-bashers on here will be so upset that they wasted their lives. Ha, ha, ha. Of course they won't know 'cos they'll be dead, but hey, it'll be funny anyway.
But I'll take my chances either way.

I refuse to believe in any kind of religion even though I was baptized as a child. I just don't see the point in allowing a book to tell me what's right and wrong, and that I will be "judged." I think I can make up my mind on my own as to what is right in this world and what are the things I need to stay away from.
As for God, well, I suppose it's possible that he could exist, but even if he did, I'm sure he doesn't want our entire purpose in life to be wasted by groveling at his feet. The reason why I choose to believe that there is a possibility God exists, is because when I ask myself what came before humans and the Earth and what's past the universe and what created that, I just can't see science ever answering that. So technically, I believe in him because I need a way to explain what got us here in the first place. What I don't need him or his Bible for is to tell me what to do now that I'm here.

None. I have learned that it's not what you do or even what you know that counts. Its WHO you know.
Yes, I believe in God. The Bible, through prophecy, proves Jesus is God over and over.
Religion is not necessary for salvation and can even be a hindrance in some cases.
Try a non-denominational group that teaches the Bible verse-by-verse (not topical studies). And above all, look these thing up for yourselves. Don't take mine or anyone elses word! ACTS 17:11

Religion separates. God unites. If all religions were to unite with one common purpose, the world would be a better place. A girl can dream.

I don't believe in religion I believe in the word of God, because religion can be man made, I'd rather believe in Gods word because it is eternal and can never pass away, man made religion will pass away,

None, religion justifies everyone actions, religion is an evil spirit because it takes people away from the truth, which is Jesus Christ who died for our sins. I believe in God and the son of God, because the Holy Spirit lives in me.......I hope that I helped you....God bless

God the Father, God the Son, Jesus The Christ and Savior of this sinned cursed world, The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost
Because they live inside of my very being, the life of God is flowing in my spirit like a mighty river
Out of your innermost being will flow rivers of water, springing up into everlasting life.
God Bless and Keep you..............

What We Believe
Why? I believe what we believe is the closest to Biblical correctness.
God. Yes, Why? He reconciled me to Himself. The Holy Bible tells me so. He has gone with me through many trials including cancer from which He delivered me.
There are 2 ways to live.

God created man in his own image.
Or put another way, try putting yourself in his shoes (sandals?).
Don't you think he has enough to deal with just keeping things ticking over, without everyone pestering him and demanding attention all the time?

Yes, I do believe in God. My faith is a blend of Christianity, New Age Spiritualism and Witchcraft. I have found this path through trial and error, sticking with what I have found certain to be true.
Blessed Be
