Do u believe in god? if yes why? if not why?

Answer 1

I had many talks with God, and he never talked back. I asked and he never answered. I prayed and he ignored. I begged and he did nothing. I walked away and he disappeared. That's when I realized that all those times, I was alone. I'm Atheist now.

Answer 2

When you say God, you are talking about an extraordinary reality. Therefore, it is a reality I could not possibly understand. So while I may have the feeling of the presence of something and call that God, that would still only be a representation, a facet of such a being.

That's why I don't think the question, as it is framed here, is of much import. It suggests that God and spirituality are all or nothing propositions. I reject that notion. I also reject the notion there is some sort of moral imperative to believe. If there exists an ultimate moral agent in the Universe, then that agent is clearly vastly superior to man in every way. What does he need with our belief?

Furthermore, as stated above, we wouldn't even know what it is we believe in. Is the God Jesus spoke of the same God Mohamed had in mind? If not who was it Mohamed spoke to? And what about Buddha? Although he mentions no God, can we deny he had insights into the workings of the divine. And if so, what is that God which inspired his thoughts? What about Gandhi, etc...

So in short, this question is to me an oversimplification of the issue and a symptom of a mindset in which man can be damned or saved at the flick of a switch. The world is extremely complex. Why would access to a transcending reality be simple?

Answer 3

No, I do not. I did believe at one time, but this was in my early years when I more or less believed everything I was told. I believed in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny and even the tooth fairy. But then as I became educated I began to see the similarities between religious belief and those of the fables that I just mentioned.

Then I started realizing that while preaching love and acceptance, the church was actually preaching hate, discrimination and division. The preachers would promise you anything, but then when it actually didn't materialize they came up with the same old excuses ("The Lord works in mysterious ways", etc. etc.). When you saw them doing the same thing(s) that they were preaching against. Then I realized that it was simply "do as I say, not as I do".

There are so many contradictions in the Bible, that you can literally prove or disprove anything by referencing parts of it. That's when I became an Agnostic. I don't believe in any of the gods that are associated with the major religions. I believe in a Supreme Being, that is so mysterious he is incomprehensible to most people here on earth.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe in God. If we will not believe in God whom shall we believe? The bible has the perfect answer for our entire question about God. In believing God, we should use our faith. Faith is believing on something we do not see. You can read the bible in 2Corinthians chapter 5 verse 7 and 2Corinthians chapter 4 verse 18 about what I say regarding faith. God is spirit and therefore we will use our faith in dealing with HIM.

In dealing with God we should have complete trust that He exist in order to feel His presence because God do not dwell on those who have no trust in Him like the atheist. If we rely only on our emotions we could not find God.

In the book of Genesis in the bible, it mentions about His creating of everything and the things around us are the best testimony for His existence. Like the creation of man, we could not simply deny our existence if we are not created by Him as mentioned in that book. Man is a complex being that only a super intelligent nature can create. Have we not wonder where we came from?

Answer 5

No I do not... There are so many reasons why that i cant go into them all in one post.... Many of them have already been covered here....

I will say this though, I believe that man invented god as a source of comfort, to believe in something is to feel protected.... In which case, god is not reall, its just a belief, faith, in something to make you feel better... And it works for alot of people, which good on them if they believe it makes there life better... But I just cant possibly believe it.... It seemly like a bunch of bull to me....

Plus, I have tried many times to believe.....

Plus I am bisexual, and apparently that's not accepted, so why even bother? I would rather the soft sensual feel of a woman than believing in something that might not even exist!

Answer 6

I have grown up in a christian family, but my parents have told me that i am allowed to believe what/who ever i want to. I noticed from a lot of answers that people don't believe because there is no "evidence". I have made my decision to believe in god and i have absolutely no doubts! The difference between me and those who don't believe is that i am able to believe without seeing first.
Some might say that they have asked him questions and talked to him, but nothing has happened. Therefore, they give up. I believe that he is testing our faith and by giving up we are in a way failing the test. I know this might seem weird, but let me tell you so far in my life everything has been wonderful and i thank god everyday for my life. Also,I haven't even read the bible and i don't even go to church anymore!!

Answer 7

This is the kind of question I would like to see more often. A question, that isn't meant to offend, and isn't bias in any way. It's just a plain, good hearted question. Kudos to you, my friend.

I do not believe in god. I used to, but this was because of my family, and being taught it when I was growing up. I do not believe in god anymore due to the complete lack of evidence. A book, written by man, does not cut it for me. I could write a novel right now about pig-nosed aliens living on a planet named KALAK and it would have the same amount of credibility as the bible does.

Answer 8

Yes - I believe in God, too much evidence not to believe - and to not believe in God you have to accept the atheist doctrine of creation:

"Intelligent life was created from nothing by accidental random chance".

Answer 9

No.

Let me say this..

In a gun battle, do you think God will save you, or do you think your steady aim and common sense to take cover will save you?

I don't know about you, but I would rather rely on my weapon and my tactics than rely on something that comes from a book that was wrote by a human.

As the saying goes..

A Rabbi and a Priest attend a boxing match. They watch as the boxers come in to the ring. The Rabbi sees one of the boxers cross himself, so the Rabbi turns to the Priest and asks "What does that mean?". The Priest says "Not a damn thing if the man can't fight".

Yes, that is from a movie, but it's a flawless saying.

Answer 10

No I do not because there is no creditable and plausible proof that he is real.

All I have heard were cop-out excuses for things that he has not done and yet people still make claims to how absolute he is.

If god is absolute and so perfect why make excuses for him when he does not come through for everyone?
the reason is that there is no god.

Answer 11

No.
why?!
A lot of reasons.
When I look into the universe at night somtimes, and try to comprehend it's size, I feel how insignificant this little planet is, and it makes me feel safe.
I don't want to live another life after this one.
I hate organised religion.
I'm allowed to believe that there is no 'higher power'.
I'm perfectly happy to believe that it's all random chance. The universe is big enough and old enough to have had a lot of unprobable things happen. The earth is old enough for life to have evolved to it's current rich and diverse level, and I hope that it continues, evolution is a beautiful thing.
I don't believe humanity is the pinnacle of evolution.
Looking at the actions of humanity on the whole makes me feel ill. The way humanity has overused everything on this planet just serves to say that humanity is by no means special. I hope that one day humanity does destroy itself.
