Do you really believe in God?

Question

or do you just tell yourself that you believe hoping that one day you will believe?

Answer 1

Yes, I truly believe in them. I have no proof except for personal experiences to prove it so I understand why there are so many who don't believe in any deities. I live and let live.

I don't understand how someone could live their lives pretending to believe in deity/ies. Who would want to live a lie? It really doesn't matter to me what people believe but I feel they should at least be true to themselves.

Answer 2

i don't believe in any of it. Things like the Earth is only 4200 years old is no-where. look at all he evangelists and priests who preached to you about the beauty of god and were then found with prostitures and abusing young children. how much did they believe in it? ok, they are not the general rule, but people over the years were murdered en mass and god never stepped in to help. you can go all the way back to Masada or the massacre of the Essenes, the Inquisition, the Holocaust. God couldn't even find enough compassion to save an innocent child.

Then we have the stem cell fiasco where the religious are telling us not to kill potential babies but let a person die that could be saved by a potential baby that can't see, hear, taste, smell, talk or even think. Religion also gives people false hope because they pray to god for something rather than do research and find an answer to our own problems.

if you were god, what would like all these subjects to do, get down on their knees and pray to you? It doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it.

Answer 3

I really do believe in God and believe science backs me up.

Answer 4

Here is my answer - hopefully it can enlighen someone who lives in darkness and emptiness because once someone finds Christ (or rather, opens up their heart to Christ), they recite the Nicene Creed (which has been around for nearly 17 Centuries) prior to Baptism (or Chrismation for those who have already been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of
God, begotten of the Father before all ages;

Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father through Whom all things were made.

Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man.

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;

And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father;

And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life,
Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the
Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who
spoke through the prophets.

In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come.

Amen.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe in God. I question many things,but I never question God's existence.

Answer 6

My very wise teacher once said this:
"Believe in God, don't pretend to believe in God, it's the pretending that gets man into trouble!"

Answer 7

Yes, I really believe in God who is The Great Spirit AND who is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit AND who is the God and the many aspects of the Goddess. All names for the ONE Supreme Creator of the universe and of us all. I have a personal relationship with the ONE Supreme Creator in all His/Her loving aspects and forms.

Answer 8

Since I met Him personally over 33 years ago, and have had Him talk with me and me with Him all during that time, and since I have tested the Bible by praying according to its promises and had God answer prayer that nobody but Him knew about, and since I have seen God do incredible things called miracles throughout my Christian life -- I am thoroughly convinced that I believe in God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.

I highly recommend that if you want the highest quality of life available this side of eternity you totally surrender your life to Him as soon as possible. If you have done so, you are on the greatest adventure any person could ever have on earth.

Answer 9

Nope, He's real. Too much going on in my life and in the world to believe otherwise. Not to mention the biblical prophecies unfolding right before our very eyes. It's cool.

And besides that, when I received Christ as my personal Lord and Savior many years ago, I knew something happened to me that was real and supernatural. It was nothing that I could have conjured up in my mind.

You should try it. You have nothing to lose. Just open your heart to Jesus Christ right now. You'll be amazed.

Oh, by the way. That uncomfortable feeling your getting right now by reading this.... That's God.

Answer 10

I've believed in God for as long as I can remember.

For those who do not believe in Him, it still doesn't change the fact that He exists... they will all believe someday.
