Do you know the reason why you believe in a God?

Question

WHY DO WE BELIEVE IN THE THINGS WE BELIEVE IN? Isnt it better to know whether they exist or not? Hııımmmmm

Answer 1

Q1Yes I do
Q3Knowing follows right behind faith

God Is very compassionate and eager to reveal his secrets but this world hides all the evidence so you must bust through this world's deceptions first and that is done by faith.

faith is quickly rewarded with revelation.

sometimes so quickly the person claims credit and misses the opportunity see and marvel at God's Love and thereby gain still more faith

hope this helps

I once was lost but now am found

Answer 2

I know why I believe in God! I believe in Him because I thought and I saw from myself that by believing in Him I had become a better person and no matter if people will find out He does not exist, I wouldn't care as long as upon believing in Him I have seen my life with values.

Answer 3

I believe, because that is the state in which I am at peace with the universe.

The lowest-energy arrangement of atomic structure is called its ground-state electron configuration. This describes the region of space around the nucleus that an electron with a certain energy is most likely to be found (in orbitals). When energy is applied such as heat, the electrons bounce around, but they soon relax into the ground-state once the energy has been expelled.

Maybe we are like that , maybe we occupy certain places. And these are the places in which we use the least amount of energy. Just a thought.

Answer 4

He is the only way I could recover from alcoholism. I don't think there is only one way to reach God or that any one conception of God is right or wrong. I just know that because of him and the action taken on my part through a 12 step program I'm connected to a power I didn't have before, and that power is God. I'm not a Christian, and don't know if I'll ever be comfortable with that concept of God. I do know that there is a "higher power", "spirit of the universe", or whatever you want to call it exists because without It's help I couldn't recover from a hopeless state of mind and body.

Answer 5

Personally, I didn't believe in God until I was shown a vision that touched me deeply, emotionally in a way nothing ever had before. Even then I intellectualised my emotions in order to rationalise and understand through my logic brain, what God is. Balancing the emotional empirical experience with science and sensibility worked together to help me form an opinion that sits well with me. No traditional religious beliefs fit my analysis or assessment of God and thus I have no blind faith but more a combination of faith and sense.

Answer 6

That's how God created us, if we had no conscience of God then we would be like trees or other things that don't have thought, I use to ask the same questions, but my faith is made me realize that there has to be a God who created it was no accident, just think in reality why is there male and female that's not by chance, the way were made God made us with a free will mentality, it was not that we were to sin but to obey him, everything happened when sin entered world, the start of disobeying led to sentence, Satan, Adam, Eve, from the beginning God tells us about the purpose of Jesus, in Gen. 3:15

Answer 7

I believe in *many* godhs . . . the Holy Powers of my ancient Nordic ancestors.

Why? Because THEY did. Historically, provably, as a documented wellspring of their culture. Can I know, objectively, scientifically, whether Freyr and Odhinn and Thor and the rest *literally* and *physically* exist? No, of course not. But I *can* know that they are the ancient godhs of my ancestral culture! THAT part is a matter of historical record.

While I have had many, many *subjective* experiences of their presence, and *subjectively* believe worshipping them has increased my luck, prosperity, wisdom, and maegn, that's . . . subjective. It's only proof to ME.

In the end, what matters is not if my godhs are real and present at my harrow, but that I *proceed as though they are* . . . that I give the rites of my Holy Tides the focus, reverence and devotion I would if my Elder Kin were *physically* visible and present.

Answer 8

I have a question for you? If you went up into the the woods on vacation and traveled some distance with out seeing one person or following any trail and you were really far out in the middle of no where...lets say a plane dropped you off way out there...how about that..........and low and behold you came across a HOUSE and this house had furniture and everything you needed to live comfortably and the cabnets were stocked with food and there were fresh paintings on the walls of the sun set and natures beauty and there was a bed and blankets to cuddle in, ect.... ect.... WOULD YOU ASSUME THAT THE HOUSE JUST APPEARED OUT OF NO WHERE OR SOMEONE BUILD IT AND FILLED IT UP WITH ALL THAT GOOD STUFF?

Answer 9

While I may have 'issues' with a lot of organized religion, I find a lot of value in my own personal journey of faith.

I think the pursuit of the mysterious; of the things that are beyond natural - contributes not only to one's spiritual health, but also their own intellectual prowess, and even physical wellness.

I definitely see tangible evidence that points to the existence of God, so out of curiousity I continue to explore ways of possibly learning more about this 'presence' Along the way I find myself weeding out ideas and thoughts that I personally find myself not being able to stomach, but that does not necessarily mean I've narrowed down my questions to the point where I have some sort of definitive answer.

Answer 10

People believe what they WANT to believe. Clearly it has nothing to do with evidence or reason. People believe in a deity
1. Because they were trained to believe as a child
2. because it makes them feel good to have a supernatural imaginary friend.
3. It gives them hope. They can pray for things over which they have no control.
4. it combats the fear of death.

and a few more good reasons. It's very clear to me why people believe in god. And likewise, this clarity adds more evidence to the fact that deities do not exist.
