Just curious... I don't know what I believe in, but I'd like to hear what you believe in.
Do you have any hard evidence for your reasoning?

yes i do, and no i haven't seen him. there is someone that made this world, man didn't. man can make things but they fade away. look at the sun, the moon, the stars, grass the sky. man can't make that so it's someone higher. so and take a look around you and think about it.

I am a firm believer in God. I hear many people say that they don't believe in God because they can't see him. I don't understand why? Why does the water stop at the shoreline instead of continuing endlessly? Why are there green plants and trees where man does not live and there is no one to cultivate it? Do you belive in miracles? If so, where do they come from? It's all God's doing. I don't believe in evolution, because of many reasons. I don't see it today. Have you ever wonder why they have never found the missing link, yet they can find Sadam Hussein in a little hole underground? There is no missing link! God created everything. Now let's say there is no God, and I'm wrong. What have I lost? Nothing!
However, if there IS a God, and I don't belive? What would I have lost THEN? The risk is far too great if I'm right and there is a God. And personally, I'd much rather believe there's a GOD and then there be none then lose an argument, than beleive that there no GOD and lose my soul.

Yeah I believe in God... I have two stories that I feel are hard evidence, one would take a long time to type but the basics are that my family and myself got into agreement in prayer once about some serious things and within one day all the things we prayed about changed...and they were major things...I also had a wreck (really really bad) when I was a senior in high school and the result was some very serious life threatning injuries...there was a lot of prayer for e during that time and I recovered at a phenomenal rate and now have no problems (one injury was a broken neck and I suffer no problems from to date)...I also have felt the presence of God many times during prayer and such...I am not a whacko and as a matter of fact I am just a regular guy who would have a hard time believing in God if I had not seen these things happen in my own life...but what has happened in my life is evidence enough for me to have faith in things that are unseen, I just think each individual has to find there own path in their search for God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit etc. I hope that you find yours and I hope my answer provided a little insight...God bless

I don't believe in any sort of god. God was never mentioned in my home when I was growing up; so when I became an adult, I was able to see the Abrahamic religions as no different than the pantheons of ancient Greece and Rome, or Quetzalcoatl, or Thor and Wotan -- the superstitions of culturally sophisticated but scientifically ignorant people. (Mind you -- I don't mean "ignorant" as an insult; it's just another way of saying "uneducated"...)
If you're really interested in getting a good perspective on the origins and nature of religion, I'd highly recommend reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

Yes, I believe in God, MrsK, and the reason is found in Gen. 1:1 which states in brief that God created the Heavens and the Earth and Rev. 4:11 also added that God being the Creator, He is worthy of our worship.
If you consider the air that we breathe in daily; we cannot see it but we believe it is there because of its action.
We also know that the law of gravity is true because when we throw an apple up, it falls to the ground proving the reality of gravity.
Hence, from these reasonings, I can rightfully conclude that I believe in God.

Why should I believe in a god? There is more 'evidence' for dragons, mermaids and fairies existing. Should I believe in them?
The starting point is not believing in dragons, mermaids and fairies until there is a good reason to do so. Why should it be different for gods?
Because some priest quoting from an old, corrupted book says "Because I say so." is not a good reason.

Yes, but I can't totally explain it to you. It's something you have to experience.
I was raised with religion but never totally embraced it.
One day I was holding a chemical explosive and it went off. Half of it was still in my hands UNEXPLODED.
Theoretically that's highly improbably, once a chemical starts combusting it combusts.
The unspent elements remained and as such I have hands today and play music.
One is driven to thank someone for that event.
You have to be thankful when by rights you are supposed to have stubbs instead of hands and arms due to your own stupdity. I'm talking DYNAMITE size charge.
It's like the hands of God came down and shielded me.
Like I say you have to experience it and when that happens you find yourself wanting to thank someone for sparing you.
That's where the term "no athiests in fox holes" comes from. When eveyrone else around you is dead and you're still alive you have to thank someome.
When the shells and bullets or exploding you have to ask something for help.
It's a metaphor, but when it HAPPENS to you, it become different.
I've had several events like that in my life occur.
Especially ones directed. Ones in which I was sent down a path intentionally.

I am Pagan. I honor Isis and Osiris as my aspects of the God and Goddess. I like it because its tangible, its in the earth and the stars and in people. None of us are any more or less divine then anything else. The Gods work through you when you need it. You must take responsiblity for your own actions (karma) I believe the soul is timeless and we have more then one shot at this whole life thing and lessons (reincarnation) and my faith is very flexible (We make our own "holy" books)
As far as proof, no I don't really have any. But I don't need any either. We'll allf ind out when we die, but this is what brings me peace in my life so I accept that.

"Thou art god(ess)."
Nothing is more divine than anything else, so I choose to believe that everything is divine. (Or one could say that nothing is divine, but I'm not a pessimist.) My only evidence is that looking at everything and everyone as interconnected pieces of the same world keeps me happy and tranquil.
There may or may not be dieties, but that doesn't make our world any more or less than what it is. And I choose to celebrate it. Be happy.

No, Gods are primitive superstitious fairy tales. When you learn to understand nature, you understand nature is governed by laws of physics, not the whims of a petulant bronze age hateful jealous god. It is those mathematical laws which leads me to conclude that nature is based on mathematics rather than superstition.
