Yes I believe in God , because Paintings have Painters and Buildings have Builders so Creation must have a Creator its more logical to say that then to say, that all life came from nothing
a little saying I came up with..
If there is no God then there is no Creator if there is no Creator then there is no Creation if there is no Creation then why do you exist? but because you do exist then there is a Creator therefore there is a God ha little joke I guess but makes sense .
o and for any atheist reading this.. To say there is no God you must know everything but for me to say there is a God I just have to look around.

If by using the word "god" you mean an overall way to explain the unexplainable, then you are becoming a person who enjoys magical thinking.
What is that? Magical thinking is when you start saying everything is "from god." That only proves you don't know much about the scientific world, don't wish to, and choose to lean on something that cannot be proved or disproved.
If god is out there in that vast infinite universe, what makes you think for one minute he/she/it is that concerned with the human race? There is life on other planets. Statistically it can be proved.
With all our petty squabbling over territory, who gets the girl, or when the football game is on, why would a supreme being worry about us simpletons? Much less, which religion is "right."
To "Neweyes,"
You wrote, "If there is no God then there is no Creator if there is no Creator then there is no Creation if there is no Creation then why do you exist? but because you do exist then there is a Creator therefore there is a God ha little joke I guess but makes sense."
That is one of the most ridiculous pieces of pseudologic I have ever seen. Has it ever occured to you or any of your co-horts, that changes happen because of an intricate "ballet" of electrons, atoms, molecules, and cosmic forces we don't yet know about?
Just because you don't know something is hardly an excuse for more magical thinking and fuzzy logic. Go to college. Learn something.

I believe in God and I cannot see any other way to live. By reading the bible I can understand God better and know God created everything seen and unseen.We have been created in God's image so everyone at some stage of there life thinks about what is there purpose in life but and also what comes after death because our souls never die and it strives to find rest which can only be found in Jesus Christ.

No. I believe 'God' was constructed by humans as a way to enforce control over groups, and to explain away things they couldn't then understand (now explained through rational science).

Kind of a false question to me.
Asking do you believe in God is not the same as asking whether that table over there exists. I can see the table. I can touch it. I know exactly what you mean.
But the concept of God is a bit more problematic. First of all, it is supposed to designate a transcending reality. So how am I to know what another person means by that? I am limited by my experience as they are limited by theirs. To many fundamentalists, belief in God implies acceptance of a vast and diverse number of teachings. But the fact is man is not equipped to completely understand such a vast and transcending reality. When you say God and I say God, we are limited by our understanding of what that concept may be. We may not mean the same thing. So I therefore find that this question is mostly used to create segregation; to separate the believers from the non-believers. And that is a very human concern.

I hope whoever removed all my files on the subject of God
will find the information useful as I did. God knows who you are. Its one thing to prank with old sprite and another thing to prank with Jehovah. God be with you.

Implicitly. Because I know he is real. God made a significant impact in my life. Prayers have been answered; I have both experienced and witnessed miracles; God has blessed us in many wonderful ways; the good times have been wonderful, while the (many) bad times have been bearable, and not nearly as bad as they could have been.
Hope I helped. God bless you.

I believe in God, (after big rise and fall) some of the cos are
1- everthing is meaningful when God exists (firstly my existense),
2- I feel absulately free myself,
3- cant find any false on His acts and sayings.
4- satisfy my all characteristics as a human being...etc.

Yes I do. The creation that I see before me declares his existence. All that I see could not have happened by chance. The beauty of the earth is evidence alone of a all powerful God

Yes.
There is a knowing of a knowing, that we know what we know that we know without any doubts.
You see...when a person is saved, just before he/she is saved, we are convicted of our sins, whether it is in a Church listening to a message and that message of Salvation convicts us or when a person it witnessing to us.
We are convicted of our sins, it is a horrible yearning , a pulling of our hearts towards God, Words in any language cannot explain adequately what is taking place.
Just before we are saved, in many people, our hearts beat fast, a lump is in our throats, sweat, tears, a horrible fear.
Then we go to the Lord when we can stand it no more. and fall to our kness, saying, Lord ....I am a sinner...forgive me...save me...At that Moment, in that moment....something happens....no words in any language can describe it..the only way I can in my own words would be to say that in that moment...we are 'touched' by God, all our fears are gone..replaced with this overwhelming "knowing" that we are saved...now that is not very adequate a description, but it is the only one I can think of.
Our minds are changed, our thinking process is altered.
Non-believers have no concept of this.....To them...we are brainwashed, as they have not the ability to understand.
We now have a knowing of a knowing.
In Romans 12:2 it talks of a renewing of the Mind and that our minds are transformed The word transformed in the greek means 'metamorphosis'
1st Cor 2;14 speaks of those who are not saved and that they cannot understand these things.
it say's (For the natural man cannot understand the things that are of the spirit of God for it is foolishness to him, nor can they know them for they are spiritually discerned.)
being saved is an event that in that moment..we are "touched" by God, if only for an instant..Non-believers..have no concept of this, so they mock it and make fun of it, and ridicule it continuosly.
I know this..Jesus is real..as I have met him, those who do not believe, lack the ability to understand or comprehend.
