I think it's mostly a semantics thing. Yes, some think there's an old man with a big grey beard with a thumbs up if you believe in Christ and a thumbs down if you don't. That's religion and really doesn't do God or anyone else much good. OK so back to semantics...You can't have hot w/o cold. If everything was hot, how would you know it is hot? Can you think of anything physical that doesn't hold true to this rational? You can't have distance w/o time. OK ready? Repeat after me, (were talking to God): "without me, you're only you"

Yes, but not the God that christianity would try to make us believe in who is jealous, vengeful, discriminating, angry and judgmental. The real God is the one that Jesus came to teach us about. Accepting, non-judgmental, all-loving, forgiving and divine, meaning above all human qualities. There is no way that the likes of us are powerful enough to offend that which is as Great as God! God is not the old guy in the sky with the long beard in the throne in the clouds, the one made in the image of man. The real God is formless (but can take any form), genderless (with both feminine and masculine principles), omnipresent. The energy source and the process of life itself. Everything around you, seen and unseen, heard through sound and silence.

God springs forth from the primitive limbic system of your brain, the last remnants of your reptillion past. The area where our raw emotions reside, including the irrational belief systems.
The 'religious' experience is triggered by deep depression, starvation, near death, or other highly charged situations. The 'born-again' christian phenomena has a scientific basis....yes, your limbic system. Why has man evolved this mechanism you might ask? Simple...it was a survival mechanism of our cave man ancestors to cope with a hostile and unknown universe.
The cerebral cortex is a more recent development. Here is where our rational and logical thought processes take place. It is here that the atheists have found their basis in reality.
In reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of ours to work...sorry

Yes there is an only God . God Father , God Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God. And God loves you and love us to all because God created us as his children and God created all the world and the universe too.
God is the Almighty one.

I'm afraid my answer to this one is: I haven't a clue. In other words, I disthink that any human knows. However, I disbelieve the religious concept of faith.
Reason is: humans are expected to realize truths through empirical data. Therefore, I am sure that the Judeo-Christian God would be informed of this, as He did create us and all. Jesus mentions that faith is a mandatory step to achieving salvation. However, logic (you know, the thing Jesus and Paul used incessantly to prove arguments) and empirical evidence disproves the existence of any deitical precense residing anywhere. Therefore, faith, which can be equated to 'gullibility,' is going against the very philosophies advocated by the popular religions of today!
As to what DOES exist, that is a question that I don't think we can know. We as humans only perceive what is in the world, rather than what is outside. We, of course, realize that we are a lump of dirt suspended in space through this thing called 'gravity.' However, we can only know for SURE that we think, perceive, decide. That gravity will continue, and that the sun will continue it's orbit, is merely VERY probable. However, who necessitates the actions of this rationale? Everything is POSSIBLE, but what is probable?
As life is full of probabilities, it is very probable that an outside entity does indeed exist. This can be seen through the existence of such perceptions as revenge, smiling (the physical action), laughing, sexual pleasure, etc. These things do not add anything to the process of evolution, other than necessity through happiness. However, if Darwin's theory was correct, it would be pointed out that such pleasures are not at all efficient, some even causing extermination (i.e. sexual temptations, heh). These facts lead to a conclusion that evolution is logically shattered.
So the answer is: probably, and possibly, but not necessarily.

Yep! God is everywhere. God is everything. God is the scientific energy that fills every void and space between and within all matter and time. God is the stuff of life, death, the universe, the good and the bad.
God is pure, unconditional LOVE.

No one can answer that question. It's called faith. But there are people who do great things. Like San Martin from Peru. Who did exist and did miracles in our own eyes. If you ask me, I think there is a God. A god who does amazing things.

God exists in our minds . There is no proof of God's substantive existence. God is perceived Force - some people like to terms it super natural

Depends, many people believe in a God so they have an answer for unsolved questions, like, why are we here at all? Though, most evidence points to no, it's good to have something to believe in.

Look at the world around you. You see the sun in the sky and its really a glorious thing. The earth has life full of complexities and idiosyncrasies. Look at the universe and be overwhelmed by its vastness.
Now tell me, if its right that you should restrict all of what you see by the rules made up in your head by a made up god?
