I believe that there is a higher power that created all of this, I find it hard to understand how all of this just came about with something creating it. I just don't know what that something is and I never will during my life on this earth. I am just going to experience as much as I can while I'm here because I believe that when you die, you go into a permanent dream that incorporates all your memories. That is my answer to the big question "What is the meaning of life?" Answer: "To live."

I never really thought about death because of, well you know it's scary. We all go through it. Now to some, they live like there's no tomorrow because, they don't believe in an afterlife. But see, if this is something we go through, then surely it must lead somewhere. We've all heard of death in a boat carrying your sorry carcass across the river Styx, but then, maybe it's just a doorway to another part of the universe? Maybe another life in spirit or dimension of ourselves. Cold hard truth is we don't know what happens. And the only real proof of life after death would be 1) The resurrection of J.C. (There were many eye-witnesses of his appearances after his death. 2.) Ghosts. There are several cases. 3) Exorcisms. (Cases have been studied by the Catholic Church.) These things do make a good case for an afterlife, or something beyond our "Dying."

I'm not sure, but it's comforting to believe.
There must be a creator behind such and incredible world.
I just do -- I know it.
I have a relationship with Him.
Because there is more to life than we can understand.
Because there is much evidence to suggest that God exists and that everything is under the control of God.
"Great are those who have believed yet have not seen."
Because things happen for a reason.
I was brought up to believe and later in life have found answers to my troubling questions in my faith.
My conscience exists; how else if God didn't put it there?
I envisage God as a force not as a person.
Every religion believes in the existence of God.
I've experienced miracles.
I feel calm about being assured of salvation.
I have a feeling of a "greater presence."
God is omnipresent in everybody's life.
Hope.
I believe something created all this!
I believe that he helped me in someway or another in my life to come to the U.K. to study
I believe there's someone to look over everyone.
I don't believe that there is nothing more than human existence.
I have to believe in something!
I'm alive, and there has to be something -- though it could be a force of another type.
Intuition.
It makes sense.
It's very hard to explain -- I just do and I always have done.
Look out the window.
Made up my mind after thinking lots about it.
Personal experience, and it makes sense.
Personal experience and upbringing.
I've seen and felt God's presence in my life.
I have seen things that cannot be explained by science.
There has to be a God!
There has to be something!
I used to go to church; I still believe in God, though I don't go to church any more.
What else can you believe in 100 percent?
Who created us then?
Why not?
You have to believe in something

i do not beleive in a god, i believe self awareness is the key to a happy life, that life has no meaning except what one give it. the more one can be aware of who they are, why they are, the more likley they are to be happy with themselves, know where they are going, and exactly what they want. i wish this for the whole world of humanity, a greater self awareness or even any level of a journey toward self knowledge would save the world and turn humans focus away from watching others to just watching onesself...

I was thinking about the concept of the Universe being infinite.
That being the case, each human being is beyond being tiny. We are smaller than a spec of dust, smaller than a grain of sand. We are virtually nothing. And then if we break ourselves down even further, think in terms of our DNA, and how infinitisimal we are. It is mind boggling. The universe is infinitely large, and yet the composition of a human being is infinitely tiny.
And yet, humans have complex thoughts, the capacity to reason, to love and to feel. There is something about our humanity that is infinite.
Inifinity means to have no ending. I cannot believe that there is nothing after death.

Ask of God the questions of God and ask of men the questions of men.....
St. Fracissi of Assisi said that what we are looking for is what is looking.
As I get older that notion suits me more and more.
"Seek and you shall find" is a very interesting concept when coupled with Wayne Gretzky's, " You will always miss 100% of the shots you don't take"!

No I don't beleive in god nor any religion. There is no way for us to know what life is like after death because no one has died and came back to life to tell us
