there is definately a god. those who tell you otherwise are narrowminded. What matters most is how you live...being good to others and doing for the common good is very important. God loves all of us whether we believe it or not..I truly believe that. I believe that none of us are too far gone from the mercy of a loving God!

Yes, I believe in God. I mean, just looking at the world and how it works, it would be insane to think it all happened by accident. Science can not explain how organs formed via evolution. I mean, they all work off each other....one would not survive without all the organs working together. Even just looking at the eye, the amount of things that have to go right....just to be able to see is amazing!
The fact that there is food in every season and each fruit has a season is also a miracle! Seeing how the food chain works off of each other is also a grand design. The United States is currently having trouble with the bee population and science estimates if the bees disappear completely it would only be about 4 years until there would be a major negative impact on the human food supply. Life is full of delicate balances. If something gets knocked out of place, it can cause the whole thing to collapse. How can all this be by accident? How could this delicate balance have "evolved" into place? To me it just seems impossible....therefore belief in a Higher Power (I choose to believe in YHWH or the Christian God) is mandatory for me. Anything else doesn't make sense.

Yes, I believe in God. There really is a higher power. Mind over matter can co-exist with belief in God.

Yes their is a true and living God and my experience has told me it's the God of the Bible.Yes God has infinite power and authority.
It might be a combination of both.A lot of the miracles God does almost always have some natural science behind them;that doesnt make God of none effect,just that through faith&prayer He manipulates or helps us to manipulate natural science to accomplish things.There might very well be some valid science to mind over matter;but it's probably at a level of difficulty that can rarely if at all be obtained without God's help.

If a person could really control his destiny, why would he create problems for himself? No intelligent person would impose death, old age or disease upon himself or his loved ones. One should recognize that these unwanted miseries are forced upon one by a higher power.
Due to the influence of time, happiness and misery are created. When a woman becomes pregnant, her husband, relatives and friends eagerly await the birth of the child. As time passes and the child is born, everyone feels great happiness. But as the child grows into old age and eventually dies, that same passage of time is a cause of suffering. Ignorant persons vainly seek help from scientists who work feverishly and fruitlessly in their laboratories to stop death. In modern times, inventions have been created to eliminate the inconveniences of life, but the maintenance and production of such conveniences has proven to be unbearably inconvenient for hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. Only the most foolish person will propose that there is no superior controller and that one can achieve favorable results by expert performance of material activities. Ultimately all material activities are useless because they end in annihilation.
So it follows that since we’re servants by nature, we’re subordinate to a higher power. And to control, that higher power must have intelligence, and must therefore be a person. And we are servant of that Supreme person.
Everyone must serve someone We can’t exist without serving. We serve our family, friends, pets, boss, country. Even if we manage to avoid all those services, we can’t escape serving the demands of our own body and mind and, ultimately, the forces of nature that ravage and destroy our very bodies.
God is the only person not under anyone else’s control. Unlike us, God doesn’t have to serve anyone. We’re subordinate to Him; we’re His servants.

Yes God is a real. Think about earth, sun, stars, oceans mountains, rivers, Oxygen, day and night. If one of them did not exist, life on this planet was impossible. This whole system was created to support life on this planet. Such a perfect system could not come into existance without any creator. That Creator of this beautiful world is called God. Yes he listenns if you believe that He exists. If you believe in God, He does respond.

Many people have a view of God that is too unrealistic.
They demand gifts in prayers ... that is treating Him like a servant.
... or they live to praise and worship Him ... which hill hold his interest for a limited time.
God has always wanted to relate to us as an Ideal Father to His children. As a loving Father could never forget his children, so God could not ignor our self-made problems.

Yes, I believe in God and that Jesus Christ hung on the cross to pay the ultimate price to die for our sins! Just because you can't see something doesn't mean its not real...we can go outside and look all around and see God's Beautiful work...no one could have created something so beautiful...when peaceful! All things have a creator and God's plan is perfect!

IT does not matter you believe in god or not. if you believe, its fine. if you dont believe, still its fine. god does not bother about these petty things. will he? i dont think so.
there is a power within us, which we dont experience fully. that is god. god is not a person sitting somewhere in heaven. who has seen heaven? atleast those prophets of the holy books have not seen it for sure. because the way he preached to the people, i am sure that he has no knowledge of what heaven and god is. all the prophets and their talk about god is just hollow talk. there is not an iota of truth in it.
god does not require your prayers (complaints box). he is in every one of us. when one understands that, there is no need to believe in the scriptural god which is outside us and who can be contact only through prophets and being members or faithfuls of a particular religion.

No. I do not believe in the existence of any form of the supernatural.
Why do you want someone to listen to your prayers? Talk to a shrink. The response is at least visible.
Prayer is reactive and achieves very little other than making your lips move.
