Is God real?

Question

If you say yes why? If you say no why do you say so? I'm going to pretend like I don't have an opinion, so feel free to answer however you want.

Answer 1

God isn't "real". He is the REALITY in which you and every created thing exists.
"In the beginning, God...."
If you want to experience Him, you must do it His way:

"For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe."
I Corinthians 1:21

"because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction."
I Thessalonians 1:5

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power."
I Corinthians 4:20

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit"
Romans 14:17

Personally, I can testify that I live in the peace of God every day. He is not a theory to me.

Answer 2

Personally, I used to be a hardcore atheist, but through several life-changing experiences, came to know for sure in the existence of a higher power. It cannot be defined in human terms, as "he" was the programmer, the architect, the creator of this universe and everything in it. He created everything so perfectly so that the earth would work by itself, and nature would run by set rules. I think of it as a programmer who created a computer program. You can only see the actions performed in the computer program, and if you don't think about it, that can be all there is to your eye. The program works, and does what it was PROGRAMMED to do, but it cannot create itself. Only an intelligent force can create a program.

I think science and God go hand in hand, and people who deny his existence because of science are blinded by arrogance and small-mindedness. They don't see beyond their own petty wishes: if there is no God, we can do whatever we want without consequences. It's wishful thinking, but pulling the wool over our eyes doesn't mean He isn't there.

The most annoying thing a person can say is: I KNOW there is no God. They just don't get it.
I've seen countless proof that there's a God: through science, nature, cosmology, and my own miraculous discovering.
I used to be arrogant, but now my eyes are open. I hope more atheists go through what I've gone through and accept the Creator. They need to separate human error and religion from God. One is a human invention in order to understand God, and the other just IS.

If anyone wants to know more about why I believe in God, please ask, and I'll tell you all about it.

Answer 3

It's so extremely unlikely as to be virtually impossible. Not only because there's a complete absence of evidence to support the existence of a god, but because the concept of god as presented by the major monotheistic religions is rife with self-contradictions and enormous lapses in logic and reason. If you can look at it objectively, "god" is obviously the simplistic and inconsistent construct of bronze age primitives.

Answer 4

God is not real. There is no evidence for the existence of God. Until someone provides absolute proof that God exists, I will not believe in God.

"An atheist doesn't have to be someone who thinks he has a proof that there can't be a god. He only has to be someone who believes that the evidence on the God question is at a similar level to the evidence on the werewolf question." — John McCarthy, inventor of Lisp.

"On the sixth day God created man. On the seventh day, man returned the favor."

"Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, 'yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down. down. Amen!' If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it." — Dan Barker (ex-preacher).

"There is no evidence for or against X, therefore there should be no belief or disbelief in X. Now fill in the X with either the Flying Spaghetti Monster or God..."

"God says do what you wish, but make the wrong choice and you will be tortured for eternity in hell. That sir, is not free will. It would be akin to a man telling his girlfriend, do what you wish, but if you choose to leave me, I will track you down and blow your brains out. When a man says this we call him a psychopath and cry out for his imprisonment/execution. When god says the same we call him 'loving' and build churches in his honor. " — William C. Easttom IIt.

Answer 5

I think he doesn't exist, but I can't prove it and don't think anyone can.

My reasons for thinking he doesn't exist. If it weren't for text written by humans, or people saying things from the written text, I would have no idea what God was. There is nothing in nature or my surroundings that say, hey maybe a God exists.

Answer 6

i believe there is a God. i woke up this am, he's blessed me with a home, a job, a wonderful family, health, strength along with everything else in my life.

i cant see God but I know that He is there. just like the wind. I can feel his presence. I can feel his peace, His love and warmth.

Answer 7

Probably not.

If he does, he's got some serious explaining to do.

I'd like him to meet the billions of people killed in his name. And then the billions of people who have suffered unnecessarily due to religious beliefs without evidence (let's discuss condoms in Sub-Saharan Africa, shall we?) And after that, I'd like to meet him myself and ask him why he never gave us conclusive evidence of his existence.

Answer 8

Man has created thousands of Gods throughout history--so yes---there are thousands of created Gods.

Answer 9

1000% Yes.

Answer 10

No

If our existence is improbable so much so that a supreme being had to create us, then the creation of a supreme being is that much more improbable.
