Do you believe?

Question

Do you believe in God? If you do or if you don't, why?!?! God is Real!!!

Answer 1

With my heart and soul.

And I'm thanking for His grace.

Answer 2

Your god? No. Not a snowballs chance in your fiery hell.

For logical reasons: Because an omnipotent being is an impossibility due to the paradoxes that rise. If your god knows everything, he knows what he will do in the "future" (in any dimension, not necessary the time dimension). He must have known that from the very start of his own existence. Thus god's actions are predestined. Your god is tied by faith, he has no free will. If your god has no free will he is not omnipotent. Another way to put it is that to be able to make plans and decisions one must act over time. If your god stands above time he can not do that and has no free will. Indeed, if your god stands above all dimensions your god is dimensionless - a singularity, nothing, void! Besides there can exist no free wills at all if your god is almighty. If you had a free will, your god wouldn't know what you would do tomorrow and wouldn't be omnipotent.

For moral reasons: Because any god that would threaten people with hellfire and damnation if they don't bow down and worship it, is not worthy of worship. Because I've seen too many things happen and been though too much to ever possibly consider a omnipotent god benevolent. In other words, if your god exists he is evil and malevolent beyond words. Even if he did exist, I wouldn't believe in him.

Answer 3

Of course he's not real. Oops I just came into answers and I said what ever question is there I going to answer it so I will be picked regardless of what I have to say. But this is just too ludicrous. You even told us what we should say from your question. Still it is a little too much. To believe in a fantasy for the sole reason someone told you too is beyond belief. Would you buy a car without test driving it? Are you afraid your Boogie Man Satan will jump out and bite your butt if you dare to think? I'll take the two points. You give the ten to someone who shares your fantasy. Oh but if you are in the market for a pink unicorn I know a friend who owns a herd down in North Georgia.

Answer 4

Most certainly their is God. God has placed a vail over our eyes that will be removed on the day of judgment. If we were all too see God now here, everyone would believe in God because they see, but to believe and know without seeing, that is precious. Not being able to see God right here right now, is what separates the true believers, and those that would do it out of reflex action,

Answer 5

There is no evidence that there is a god. It is not reasonable or rational to believe in things without any evidence. You would be stuck with every ridiculous thing that human imagination could come up with. No evidence essentially means that someone made it up.

Not believing in god is the same as not believing in Zeus, Aguta, Ishtar, Odin, Xenu, Hera, Anubis, Juno, and all the thousands of others since the evidence is exactly the same. I would be no less surprised if someone found evidence of Bacchus than I would be if they found evidence of your god.

Answer 6

You were doing so well until the last three words...

Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Answer 7

I believe in God not just because the bible says so but because when I look at the ocean, or see the sun come up, or see the cloulds move across the sky you just know hes there. I have also seen him do so many wonderful things in my life that there is no way that I could deny him.

Answer 8

Few people actually get to know god. because they listen to their own reasoning.
Knowledge of God and his plan is only attainable through being taught. John 17 v 3. taking in knowledge meaning everlasting life !
Just because people are blind ( 2 Corintians 4 verse 4 ), does not mean that he is not.

Answer 9

OK Cool !!!God is real to you. That's cool with me I just don't believe it, for many reasons than I have time to debate about today

Answer 10

Define God.

I don't believe in an all-powerful being that creates and destroys, that can hold singular emotions, etc etc.

What I believe God to be is the universal force that unites everybody and everything, which is affected by all changes because everything is interdependent.

Answer 11

God is not real. You have no objective evidence to back up your claim, and thats why I don't believe in god, no evidence.
