Do you believe in God?

Question

I was on here, and someone else asked a question pertaining to religion, and I was surprised by all the negative answers that people gave when it came to God, and religion. So I was wondering. What are your views. Do you believe? or is God, and religion some reason that man has created to satiate his needs to know why mankind exists? All answers are welcome. I am not preaching here. Just wondering.

Answer 1

Yes I believe in God.
I believe that He created everything and I believe He is real. I have been blessed in many ways so it will be impossible for me to think diferently. This is my opinion and I will keep it forever. God is Real.

Answer 2

Yes, I firmly believe in GOD. I actually don't know GOD, so everyone is correct in what they think or only one person is right - no one will know. Humans love to wonder about GOD, and his motives that's for sure. Some are more passionate than others in their responses.
Also here in R&S I believe rudeness is more common than polite thoughtful answers to often. A good shower will remove most of the filthy answers, and a thick skin helps. (Also a sense of humor - leaning on the fart joke type helps a lot)

Answer 3

yes god does exist because i view god as the purest positive energy in the whole universe and that's the real truth.

others view God differently-religion, while they can call it and thought what they're believing is true. its not the real truth, their beliefs won't last forever. it will change for every situation they will experience in the lifetime.

actually it doesn't really matter what you believed into, it is the act of believing itself is what that matters, it satisfies the mind, get into the mood to feel good, which is healthy, which is lifegiving.

but there a point where growth ends then body starts to degrade. you have to stop believing and start living in truth, in order to maintain life.

Answer 4

The existance of God cannot be proved or disproved. However, the more I learn about religion, the more I feel it is nothing more than a tactic used to scare the masses into obediance.

If there is a God, I feel he/she would be very angry with many people and their behaviour. Believers and non-believers alike. I would like to think there is a God. A God/dess who is watching over us and making sure we are ok, not one who forces us to live a certain why. Believers are very hyporcrital in this sense.

It's cool with me if you believe. I respect that. I would just wish that many believers would respect the rest of us and not be preachy or violent with us. Do they not realize that being forceful only pushes people further away?

Answer 5

When you see a house, you know some one has build it. But when you see our nature you know the human or aliens could not make the nature. Mostly people think God as a human being. But according to Vedant Theory (This is widely accepted by Hinduism, Bodhisim, Sikhism, Jainism, Suphism etc.) God is one by virtue of which we see, hear, walk, talk. This body is made up of 5 elements. Earth, water, fire, sky and air. God is universal. When you help a needy person you feel happiness in your heart. But when you are planning to deceive some one your conscious tries to stop you. This is done by Gods powers.

Answer 6

I believe in a Higher Power, personified as Gods and Goddesses.

Someone stated that it's the non-believers and those of other faiths who are the ones spewing acrimony; I wonder how many thumbs-down I'll get simply for answering the way I have...

Answer 7

Yes I believe in God!

Answer 8

I do indeed believe in God. I am a Christian, but being a Christian is not a religion. It simply states I believe in God, I know he died on the cross for me, I know he has forgiven me of my sins, and I know I am imperfect and a sinner. I am a Baptist, that is my religion, actually it's a branch from Protestant faith. I hope that answers your question and God Bless!

Answer 9

IMAGINE if God created us in his/her/it’s image and gave us freedom to explore the universe and created earth so we could make it our home, and we did, and as time passed we evolved spiritually and physically, and came back many times to live varies lives just to in the end not believe in him/her/it. It doesn’t really matter in the end, if God did all this for us, believing or not believing doesn’t erase that God did what it/he/she did. We exists for a reason. We should believe in ourselves than maybe people would find God and believe in him/her/it.

Answer 10

I believe in God. I do not believe his followers. I believe that Jesus was his son who died on the cross for man's sins. I do not believe that everyone has to 'accept him into their hearts' to go to Heaven. I believe in the Holy Spirit. That he is a messenger of God. That he is truly holy. I believe that blasphemy against him is the only unforgivable sin. I believe that sin - ironically enough because of the statement before this - is only bad because it hurts you ( and that is the only reason God hates it). I believe that we are all going to heaven no matter what path we choose in our life, be we Muslim, Buddhist, Hindi, etc. I believe that God is the only one who can make judgment calls regarding someones standing in the afterlife. I believe that being gay is not a sin. I believe that the people who hate gays are the abominations God so hates. I believe that people have some sort of God given right not to have religious beliefs they do not agree with spouted to them from someone like a broken record. I believe in love, equality, and kindness. That is what I was raised to believe. That is how I have chosen to believe - despite the best efforts of many. This is how I will continue to believe. Thank you for asking.
