Are you tired of the question "which God"?

Question

FOR THE LAST TIME THERE IS ONE GOD.(and that's a period PERIOD) deal. how hard is ONE to understand?Why do so many people insist on complicating things,isn't 1 already more than many can fathom?

Answer 1

How come you limit your God's power to be more?

Answer 2

There is one deity in your worldview but that is only so because you ~have faith~ that that is the way it is. If you look at different religions and world cultures there are thousands of deities many of which are still worshiped in some form or another so asking 'which god' when a question is vague is a perfectly valid way to make a questioner clear up their intent.

After all, this isn't just a christian site you know - there is more than one religion aside from christianity.

Answer 3

Your Bible is a fantastic study in revisionist history: the first half preserves what the second half was written to replace. The Old Testament mentions plenty of other deities, like Dagon, Baal, and Ishtar, and even gets around (if you can read the original Hebrew, or trust a translator to do it for you) to mentioning that the Judeo-Christian god has a female counterpart. Get some perspective or acknowledge that you're a deluded fanatic.

Answer 4

no. The question is essential. Asking which God does not imply that the person believes there is more than one God. The question is related to which belief you have.

What I'm tired of is people who neglect to say which God there talking about and assume everyone else knows.

Answer 5

God to one may mean the Christian one but god as the supreme being composed of the whole as defined by other faiths are two different ballgames.

Since we are god, there are many gods so your statement is incorrect UNLESS you mean that 'god' is everything overall, then it would be.

Answer 6

Just by that comment you have forever excluded yourself from the group of sane people. Your god brings the exact same evidence as any of the thousands of other gods, and to not recognise that is, well, incredibly ignorant.

Answer 7

The face of God is my ancestors. My invisible grandfathers are working on me for God. They guide and direct my paths for safety and God's Glory.

Answer 8

One true God is all there is. Believe in Him and LIVE...ignore Him and end up in a place you dont want to be. What will it be?

By the way, that ONE God has revealed Himself in a BOOK. Men would do well to read it. Wink

Answer 9

Honestly, I believe there is one God, but a trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. . . . . but- - - - - how do I really know??????

I just believe this. Others believe other things, they are allowed to. That is the choice of human nature.

Someday, we will all know!! and, all probably be surprised!!

Answer 10

As I do not agree that there is only ONE God, I will continue to ask the question you are tired of.

Are you implying that we are less intelligent or capable than our ancestors who WERE capable of comprehending a plurality of divinity?

BTW..... I Still Worship Zeus!

Answer 11

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
