Why do you believe in God?

Question

Personally I don't and I do not try to force my point of view on others but today I saw this outrageous clip on "youtube" where a guy has superposed a digital dinasour on a background of Washington. Then in the description part he says that it is a sign of God as said in Bilble and so on. The worst part is that even after people tell him that it is crazy, he keeps on with his crap. I am not saying he does or does not existe, I say if you think he exists, "What have God ever done for you, so you believe and love him so much?"
as for me I used to believe in him but after 20 years of disappointments, I just gave up on him, and frankly I have been doing good eversince.

Answer 1

The idea of some omnipresent "being" is just ludicrous to me. No, I don't believe. I think the only reason why people who say they do believe can say so is that they don't want to take responsibility for their actions. It sure is easier to blame "god" for all the stupid crap that goes on, either in their personal life or in the greater world in general. If it were the "fault " of some entity from another realm, then failure wouldn't be so tough to take. No, I lay blame for anything wrong in my life on the one being that is responsible for it: me. I also think that if you feel "god's" presence all the time you should probably check your shorts. Great question.

Try a book called the "god portion of the brain "

There is a theory that at one point man had two chambers in the brain - both conscious - One was the man part and the other was a voice of sorts that said get up go to bed etc- The parent

As the two merged some got left behind - schizophrenics - (they still talk to god and hear the orders of the other consciousness ) some know the voice is theirs most don't

The "god portion of the brain" suggests that it was a guiding force and an inborn structure to keep the super conscious human from depression and suicide - An evolutionary answer to our over developed brain - And that part is universal to all cultures -
In all cultures the stats appear static in regards to the ultra religious the semi and the casual

I just do,it cant be explained.Its like breathing it just happens,without really trying,the machanics of it all can be explained,the biology of all as well,it just is.Of course I have my disappointments with prayers that are not answererd in the way I had hoped for,but I do believe God in omnipotance.So I just say God I trust you.Heres a little saying that I like.I believe in the sun even when it is not shinning,I believe in love even when I feel it not.I believe in God even when he is silent. Be loved and blessed

Answer 5

In life we have so many coincidences and for a Christian I am pretty sceptical, but God has come through for me so many times that I can not deny him, Nobody can ever prove to you that there is a God, the same way that no body could prove to me there is a God, the only way you can know him is through a personal relationship, I searched for God and he made himself known to me and that is something I can not explain. I don’t know what disappointments you've had but God will not withhold any good thing from in the same way that he will not give you something that would destroy you. Job is a good book to read

Answer 6

First of all, its not up to me to convince anybody about God. Its all a very personal thing. Although I may not agree with many people, they have a total right to their own belief.

You may think this is corny, I read it somewhere, but I believe it too. "THE ONLY PROOF I NEED THAT THERE IS A GOD IS BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF ..... MUSIC"

Have a good day.

Answer 7

Well i guess i believe in god because thats what i was mostly brought up on. I believe in God and the Devil, Christ and the Antichrist, and heaven and Hell. but even though i really don't go to church i feel i don't have to cuz i believe that we all have to go somewhere when we die. If i say i dont believe many people will just go and say hey why the heck dont you believe. but its my beliefs and no one else, since hey everyone gets confused in what is truly to believe. so i just believe cuz i do. i have my own sayings than certain religions and if i say them people will think im gone stupid but im not so its in everyones free will to choose what they believe. you dont have to listen to religions cuz most were just made from guys that made their own religion to say what they think its true. so what ever you believe doesnt matter as long your good with it.

Answer 9

Ironic that your name is Illuminati.

Listen, God gives you what you need.
Not what you want.
And they are often very different things, whether you think so or not.

I believe in God because He was the only thing that could cure my wife of cancer. And when I prayed, He answered and made it all go away within 2 weeks.

Thats good enough for me.

He owes me nothing from that point on.

Answer 10

I believe in God because I can never think of a time when I did not feel His presence. I didn't even start studying the bible until my 40's. He changed my life, He gave me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of despair.

I am very sorry that you have "given up" on God. Please be assured He has not given up on you.
