God's existence?

Question

Do you bieleve in God and what gives you faith?
If you dont what makes you think so?

Answer 1

Okay here we go. My answer is from a philosophical perspective from Anselm's Ontological Argument. First of all, we can assume the definition of God is that God is a being that which no greater can be thought. We can also assume that God exists at least in the understanding, if not in reality (so basically we have an idea of what God is in our minds if there was a God). We also understand that something that can't not be (a necessary being) is better than possibly not existing. Now using the above assumptions we come to two logical conclusions. Firstly, if God existed only in the understanding/mind and not in reality then God would not be a being that which no greater can be thought. That leads us to the conclusion that God doesn't merely exist in understanding/mind, but also in reality.

Now this is philosophy so it takes some serious thinking. Read that over several times and sit on it for awhile. Once it makes sense you will know.

Answer 2

The only honest philosophical position to take on this matter is that of agnosticism. There are no 'proofs' of god. TexasAXO or whatever, by your St. Anselm's and Decartes' flawed logic we'd have to admit the existence of unicorns, mermaids and faeries at the bottom of the garden. So far no divine omnipotent being has made contact. When he/she/it does, I will ask them why it took so long to discover me. I will also have some interesting questions to ask if the day of judgement does occur. If a god did indeed create this shambles and travesty of a society, it is obvious god was going beyond the limits of his powers. Had I created the universe, I would have made a far better one or at least owned up to my responsibilities for its failures. For the religious out there, stick to your faith.. you don't need proofs, you don't understand proofs.. you don't deserve proofs!

Answer 3

No evidence at all - absolutely everything I can see as someone reasonably intelligent and educated points to the fact that God doesnt exist. If he does he'd want me to be an atheist so I think its best to assume he doesnt exist. If he did he'd have to be evil and/or incompetent.

Science explains the what - as for the why - thats for human beings to make up as they go along but as a race most of us have better morals than can be found in that disgusting book 'the bible'

Answer 4

I don’t believe that there is god. The ideology of the presence of god is merely a philosophy of life – a teaching of the fundamental of the universe. Recall back on how religion came to life. From man himself. These great people spread their knowledge to shape mankind into a better figure for better affluence. And when they die, they are worshipped for the generosity, for their eye-opening coaching. On second thought, god does exist. It is in everybody who does deeds for others rather than for himself.

Answer 5

I found a fingerprint on my coffee cup the other day. Now I'm wondering if there exists a finger somewhere. I think it's essentially the same question. The evidence is in the breath you take when you finish reading this sentence.

Answer 6

I firmly, happily, thankfully believe in the existence of the One True God.
By reading the Holy Books revealed by the Divine Educators such as Moses, Buddha, Baha'u'llah...

Answer 7

Yes. I think God is more than a bunch of rules to follow. Is more about a personal relationship that makes me understand a bit more about myself, and makes me grow, as a human being. Not that I am a saint, and someone completely coherent, but at least I try. But you cannot force faith... as you cannot force love.

Answer 8

Life is so immensly hard for so many souls on this planet. Would it pain God so much to provide REAL proof of his existence and, thus give REAL hope for those who seem so neglected. Faith is such an egotistical thing, such a desperate thing.

Answer 9

The storybooks relating to 'god' do exist, we see them everywhere. As we do other fictional works such as the Hobbit, Harry Potter etc.

So believing in a book is possible......... taking fiction and bamboozling yourself into believing that its actually fact is dangerous, but essential for many insecure persons.

Answer 10

Yes Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita is what gave me full faith in God. He answered all my questions and I understand so much due to this book which is actually spoken by God Himself. (the Song of God. By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada. go to krishnaculture. for complete details. You just have to read for yourself
