Question

Do you beleive in god or is it a made up story. does the evidence of dinasours being on earth and the big bang prove the inexsitence of god. is the adam n eve story true and thats why women suffer preganacy and the pain of it? and if it is true that means all people are related? are relgious stories just made up?also saints and preists who say they know all? are they just saying what anyone can think of e.g. why am i suffereing? answer: you are not praying to god. is this all a joke. Was jesus a really nice person but people took him as god or a powerfull magical person and called him the son of god? None of this is meant to be offensive racist or abusing anyone's beliefs or thier religion. apologies if you find it offensive.

Answer 1

I believe gods are made up stories based upon superstition, egoism, fear of the unknown, fear of death, and prior (and continued/adopted) lack of understanding of cosmology, biology, and human sociological/psychological processes and archetypes.

Answer 2

Whoa, lot of great questions. Do you believe in the Bible? Because 1Timothy 3:16,17 tells us its the inspired word of God. That being said, Romans 1:20 says "For his invisible qualites are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;" Even if a person doesn't believe in God, look at creation (flowers, animals, mountains) someone of great intellegence had to be the Creator. (Heb.3:4)
About Saints, 2Timothy 4:3,4 tells us that many religious leaders don't stick to the "healthful teaching" of the Scriptures, instead they teach "in accord with their own desires" and people go to them in order "to have their ears tickled". Why don't they teach directly from the Bible? Why don't they encourage their flock to preach the Word as Jesus commissioned us to do? Are their practices and traditions in harmony with Bible principles?
And yes, Jesus is the Son of God. When he got baptized in the Jordan River, a voice from heaven (God's voice) said: "This is my son, the beloved, whom I have approved" (Matt. 3:17). Also read John 17:3.

Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and brought forth therewith fruits for your sustenance; then set not up rivals unto Allah when ye know (the truth).

Answer 4

Gos exists, but I don't know about God.

Rather than answer the many parts of your question, I will say this: God exists for those people who believe he exists. Just like everything else. And your God is probably not the same as the god of others.

Although I do not embrace any organized religion and believe that many religious beliefs are both ludicrous and laughable, I support everyone's right to believe as they want. Just as long as they allow me to believe what I want. And if someone attempts to force their beliefs on me, I react rather negatively.

Gotta run. Two young guys with Bibles just rang my doorbell. This should be fun.

Answer 5

I am an agnostic but i know that religion brings hope to millions of people, i personally dont think jesus was alive but the idea of him is all around us. His stories inspired people to live good honest lives and whats the harm in that. Besides who are we to say that there isn't a god? It is no ne's right to discredit someone's beliefs and faith.

Answer 6

Basically evolution and cosmology do not talk about the existence of any gods, however it is apparent that all creation stories do not match the evidence as we know it therefore they are incorrect. Also there is no evidence for any of the miraculous events described by any of the holy books therefore there are no gods.

Answer 7

Existence of god does not matter one way or the other...


I have always been an atheist. OK, that is not completely true. I am not an atheist. I am not a believer. I am not an agnostic. I am none of these because the answer to god's existence is unimportant.

People ask what would convince me that god truly exists. While I am not sure, I am certainly open to any tangible evidence. I do not know what evidence would convince me because I believe it is impossible to prove the existence of god. What evidence would convince you that god does not exist? See the conumdrum: it is difficult to answer their question! See falsifiability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiabil... ) for an explanation of theory and the rules of evidence.

Do not quote bible passages as evidence of god's existence. This is my standard of proof, not yours. However, if proof were proffered that convinced me god exists, I would change absolutely nothing in my life or my behavior. The existence or not of god does not matter. Like many humans, I live a purposeful life and god does not add more purpose.

What if evidence were produced that convinced you god does not exist with certainty (evidence according to your standards of proof)? What would you change in your life?

- Would you stop evangelizing?
- Would you start sinning more?
- Would you stop helping those less fortunate than you?
- Would you feel that life is meaningless?

Let us examine one area Christians think about atheists. Christians seem to think non-believers hope that their good deeds will get them into heaven, should heaven really exist. The Torah (Old Testament) has a word for this: mitzvah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitzvah ). Many atheists such as myself perform mitzvahs not for the sake of getting an admission ticket into heaven, but because performing good deeds and helping those in need is the right thing to do. In other words, these are selfless acts.

Christians sometimes proffer Pascal’s Wager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_... ) suggesting to non-believers that they should accept Jesus (John 3:16) as some sort of insurance policy against hell, just in case it turns out god really exists. The fallacy with this line of reasoning is that faith in god for some reward or to avoid punishment is not faith at all. It is a selfish act to receive something in return for a belief. The point of religious belief so that one becomes a better person, not to receive a reward or please a spiritual being.

Even the Torah addresses sacrifices or any other act in an effort to please god as displeasing god.

So why do you believe in god? If it is to enter heaven, that is very selfish. If god, heaven, and hell do not exist, would you still perform mitzvahs and follow the Golden Rule or would you say what is the point? Mitzvahs are not meant to please god.

Many Christians also claim that only those who believe can live a moral life and those who do not believe in god have no moral compass. That implies that one lives a moral life, not because it is the right thing to do, but because god expects us to be moral. Again, the fallacy with this reasoning is that mitzvahs and morals should be followed because god or a holy book dictates rules to us and not for personal philosophical or spiritual reasons.

In summary, I have no stake in god's existence. I do not see existence of heaven or hell as a reward and punishment system. If the whole purpose of the Golden Rule preached by Jesus was to treat others as I would like to be treated, I can follow his philosophy without believing in god. What type of god would want me to pledge my fealty to him or her simply for the sake of believing or proving my allegiance? I would expect god is beyond pride and the need for some following.

For all those thumbs down votes, I ask you to examine your personal motivation for believing in god.

Why is the concept that one can perform selfless mitzvahs and possess moral values without belief in god so difficult for many Christians to comprehend?

Answer 8

"See falsifiability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability) for an explanation of theory and the rules of evidence."

Falsifiability, as expounded by Popper and others, applies only to the determination of whether a belief is scientific or not. Believers do not claim that their belief in God is scientific. So to criticize their belief as unscientific is a straw man tactic on your part. Got any other ideas?

Answer 9

God lets us make our own choices. he created this world for Us to walk on. We made it into what we did. weather it be like heaven or hell was or choice. he did not make them for us.
if you think it's a joke then when you end up in hell and you'll be laughing then won't you? If you look to God, he will guide you. were all his children. we were made to do good in this world. i bet if you go into every prison none of them believed in God when they did there crime. yes we have all done too many sins to count...but it's ok.

Jesus died for our sins. Did you see that show thing on CNN about a bunch of kids expressing there religion at school? trying to get others to express it too? i was one of them me and my best friend planed it all.
turn to God and he will guide you.

Answer 10

If you are talking about the christian god I can tell you I believe 100% that it is made up.
