Do you believe in God? Why/why not?

Answer 1

Yeah I do. Lot's of reasons. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't believe in God. I'm just saying my opinion.

Here are the reasons.

1- Why not?

{EDIT} <

2- Science and Religon don't contridict eachother, Science says HOW something happens/happened, Religon tells you why, and tells you all the rest.

3-Lot's of scientists have converted to a monotheist (One God) Religion after, seeing proof in there work.
For example, the big bang theory, says that the whole universe started by a little thing called a 'singularity', that was nowhere, at no time,it had no mass, it was nothing, but it expanded to form the universe. I have 2 points on this
a-Do you 'really' think that this is believe able?
b-Some scientists converted to religion, because they believed that all this could not be an accident, and that some greater power must have caused it .
(BTW, I'm not sure of an Internet source, but we done it at school)

4-According to the Big Bang theory, the universe was caused by accident.

Now can you guess what religion I am?
Sunni Muslim

Now above i wrote on belief in God, but below i will write about my religious beliefs in God. Hope you find it interesting.

We believe in 1 God, that is the most important thing of Islam, ONE God. Islam is very similar to Judaism and Christianity, I believe Allah is the same as the Jewish God, we believe that the Torah and the Bible were originally written by God , but got changed and influenced by other people, so aren't in there original forms. We follow nine of the ten Jewish commandments (they are important rules, but not put in a set order like in the Bible and Torah), expat the Sabbath. The first two are about believing in one God, and not worshiping statues/idols, etc. We reject the belief of the Trinity, as we think it contradicts the Oneness of God. We don not worship statues or paintings of God, Jesus or Mary.
As these are only objects, not the real being. We donnot worship Mary (peace and blessings of Allah be upon her) or Jesus (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). But we do believe that Jesus (aka Isa) (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a prophet of God. We believe in many miracles that prove the existence of God as well.

Here is a list of some intresting sites about the miracles of Allah:

Answer 2

Down through all the pages of history, there has never been anybody, alive today or whoever lived, who has been able to demonstrate, beyond all shadow of possible doubt that he 1) ever saw "God" 2) ever heard "God" utter a single word 3) had any idea what "God" even is.
I am not going to argue that I do either. All I can say is that I believe in the inalienable right of every human being to be the owner of his own mind, and the master of his own thinking and believing- and that nobody, but nobody, has the knowledge, or the authority, by which to condemn another person for simply not believing the way HE does. When I go about my daily life, I meet each person on whatever level of interraction it might happen to be..... If I need a plumber, I want him to get to my house and fix my leak. It is of no interest to me whether he believes in God or not. If I were ever at the hospital in need of a blood transfusion, you can bet I would not tell the doctors "Hold it right there - before you hook me up to that bag of blood, I need to know if it comes from a person who believes in a Mysterious Invisible Superbeing called God"
If I want the right to believe whatever it is I feel moved to believe, then I have to concede that exact same right to every one of my fellow human beings. Hence, I will not judge another person based only and exclusively upon what his personal choice of beliefs happens to be. I will continue to follow the course of my own believing, and allow others to do the same.

Answer 3

I'm not sure that I believe in "God" but I do believe in a higher power. Lots of people say that if you doubt the existance of God to read the bible. Why? The bible was written by men. The bible is also full of contradictions, too many to name. Even though science explains a lot about where we all come from, I have a hard time believing that we came from one celled organisms and monkeys. That's what makes me believe that there is a higher power out there somewhere.

Answer 4

I believe in God simply because I was raised to and have since continued to believe so. I also like to think that there is a more powerful being and that makes my life more worth living.
Even if there isnt a God, who wouldn't like the idea of some loving, forgiving spirit out there who does nothing but care for you?

Answer 5

Yes, because…

1)Believing in God gives a meaning to life.

2)My religion gives explanations to all the questions I have asked in life

3)The world is too complex to explain it simply in scientific terms, there is a creator and that is God.

4)Many people all over the world believe in God

5)Many people feel the presence of God.

6)Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. For example the air, we can’t see it, but it exist and without it we wouldn’t be alive. Same applies to God.

7)Judaism, Christianity and Islam all talk of one God.

8)No idiot would sacrifice their life for their religion.

9)To not believe in God gives an awkward sensation.

10) Not believing in God usually means you have no religion, without religion there is no hope in life, all you will ever think is that when you die your gunna rot in your grave. As for those with a religion, you’ll be working your way up to heaven!

11) Belief in God gives us hope.

12)For people who take football, music ect as their religion. What religion could be better than simply believing in a God who is watching over you 24/7 a God who will exist for all eternity.

13)God has no gender

14) Believing in God makes you want to do more good in life to achieve eternal happiness.

15)This life is temporary isn’t it, were all going to die, so where next?

16) People don’t just avoid sin for the fun of it.

17)All the events that happen in people’s lives happen for a reason.

18)God is someone who will always love you no matter what.

19)The prayers I personally made have mostly come true, if not then I realised at the end that it didn’t come true for a good reason.

20)Through out history people have believed in a God and why wouldn’t they?

Answer 6

Yes, I do, most emphatically.

Why do I believe? Well, over a lifetime I've come to the conclusion that it takes just as much faith to believe in many scientific theories as it does to believe in God as He has chosen to reveal Himself in the Bible--which is kind of like an anvil that has worn out many a hammer pounding on it, but is still there.

Faith is one of those things that can't be measured or handled, so if you're asking for empirical evidence I have none. You either believe or don't.

Answer 7

I completely believe in God and I know that everything that happens in my life is because of Him. I try to live my life by Him. And I pray for the people that don't know Him.

Answer 8

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist prays to Him:

"God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the 'beginning'."

"Oh, is that so? Tell me..." replies God.

"Well, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of You and breathe life into it, thus creating man." says the scientist,

"Well, that's interesting... show Me."

So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil.

"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Get your own dirt."

Answer 9

Yes I completely know he is real and believ in him. Everything that is made...everything that has happened everything that is good is God! Also...somwtimes when I DO doubt him i just remember what the blible says about Faith...and then I know that he is the 1 and only God!

Answer 10

Yes I believe in a God. Why? Our existance is too much of a concidence to not be put in motion by a higher power.
