Nope. I have neither seen or experienced anything to even suggest the existence of a god.

For me, it's not a matter of belief, but a matter of direct experience.
Now, this is not to say that I am special, because I know that I am not any different than anyone else. It was just a flash of experience that convinced me that the immortal eternal life is there... and it is much closer than anyone might imagine.
It's like a veil was drawn aside that was hiding God's kingdom... and with this direct experience, I can say without and doubt that evangelical theologians are making a BIG mistake by trying to hide the gospel verse that says "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." IT IS TRUE.
Here is a resource that explains the whole thing very nicely.

No I do not believe n god because there is no concert physical evidence to support that he is real. Also the concept of god being all-powerful, all-loving and all-knowing is flawed even though many cop-out answers try to show that he is.
Sorry no miracles.
I am an Atheist, I use to believe in god at one time but rational thinking and being a freethinker has shown me otherwise.
I believe in moral philosophy is the way for society to act or use as its set of morals.
Also religion has caused more harm to society.

I believe in 0 of the over 10,000 deities that have been created since the earliest polytheistic religions we know of. We have a clear picture of the evolution of religion from polytheistic and pantheistic to our modern religions, have a good idea why it evolved, and there has never been any reason to give any God any more creedance over any other.
Past this, there are some serious moral dilemmas in most religions, many teachings are twisted to the point that even if all evidence didn't point against these religions I still could not worship their Gods.

I do believe in god, because in this world we have created there are too many small coincidences that cannot be explained and for all the bad in life there are multiple good things to balance. I find it interesting that of all the religions in the world and all the cultures almost all are based in the same moral fibers of truth, respect for life, and striving to be the best person you can be.
2 1/2 yrs ago my best friend died in a car accident she was 31. The year prior to the accident she was obsessed with getting pregnant, she could not think of anything else and for some reason had a feeling that she had to do it very soon or she would not have a baby. We both were pregnant together after that and had our children 1 month and 1 day apart. The experience of being pregnant together was one which brought us closer in our friendship than anything else could have. The weekend before her car accident she rode to maine with her mom to see her brother who she had not talked to in approx 1 yr. and her relationship with her mother was very strained. Her mother and brother cam out of that visit feeling closer to her and improved in how they all felt. She then spent 2 days before her accident with another friend of ours and during that visit she asked "if i dies would you make sure my daughter knows who I am?". The next day she went horseback riding with me and my mom who were like her family. We spent the whole day together and I made a comment to her that when she has another baby she would understand what it was like to have 2. Here response was who said I would be able to have another baby. In this short time period she managed to spend time with every important person in her life and get across how she felt to them as well as spending time with her husband and daughter. The next day at 3 pm she was in a car accident where she was thrown from the car and died. I miss her everyday, but I think on some level she knew and made every effort to make ammends with people. I cannot believe things like this are coincidence and other people may not agree, but I believe there is a god and the choices we make are connected.

I don't believe in God because I don't believe the God hypothesis is necessary. Laws of nature explain enough of the universe for me to give them the benefit of the doubt concerning those things we haven't figured out yet.
I'm a Buddhist, so I believe in direct experience, inference, and reason. I also believe in self-awareness, mental cultivation, and ethical action.

I believe in God. My dad was paralyzed from the neck down over 30 years ago. The doctors gave him less then five years to live and told him he would never walk again. My dad DOES walk and is still going strong. Talk about miracles...God is so good.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

I believe in God. I have seen so many miracles to say otherwise.
