Explain Like I'm Stupid (drumroll): God exists because you believe it and (details)?

Question

Explain Like I'm Stupid (drumroll, please):

God exists because you believe it and you don't have to prove it and if I don't believe it, then you're right anyway?

Have I got that right?

Answer 1

Because because because be-cause!!!!! Because of the wonderful things he does!


Now you got that right (sho got that right!)

Answer 2

God is a personal thing. A person can have a belief God exists or they can have knowledge he exists. Belief in God is typically a person going along with the crowd, knowledge of God is a personal experience one has with God and can't really prove.

For those that say God doesn't exist, he may not. that's your personal point of view. Shoving it down other peoples throat is not something you should do.

For those that say they believe in God, well they should take the same advice. Belief has at it's center the word "lie".

Knowledge of God comes with the knowledge of knowing that God exists to you personally.

Answer 3

I think there is very very very ample proof for a creator. There is also very very amble proof for the legitimacy of the Bible as opposed to other religous books. My faith is an intellectual decision based on evidences revealed to me as well as spiritual.

You are welcome to believe what you want. If you break down the probability statistics of evolution (chance) and creation. Creation will win hands down every single time at any angle you pick. As far as Christianity, the statistical probability of the thousands of fullfilled prophecies that were made hundreds and sometimes thousands of year ealier are very convincing. As well as the amazing archeological discoveries that have only proven the Biblical record of Hisory.

You can believe whatever you want. No one is required to prove anything to you, but you are very welcome to ask for proofs. You will find many more proofs for creation than evolution and you might have to accept the fact that digging for proof might just lead you away from what you percieve as truth right now.

So, ya, you pretty much got that right. Even if you disagree, I am right.

Answer 4

That's like saying that the world is round because I believe it. It's round, even tho 'scientists' used to teach that it was flat.

If you don't believe in God, that's your choice. I'm sick of people on both sides bashing the other, I'm sorry you don't believe in God but I'm not going to persecute you for doing so, or make you feel stupid. You're not stupid, I just don't agree with your choice, but it's YOUR LIFE. Just like my choice is MINE.

Answer 5

There is proof that God exists. Read the Holy Bible. Look at all the fighting over the Holy Land. 4 billion people vs you come on

Answer 6

No, nothing exists merely because I believe it. The reverse is also true. That I may not believe in something will not negate its existence if, in fact, it exists.

Case in point: if I insist there is no such thing as gravity and walk off the side of a 20 story building.....well.....

A person can choose not to believe in God. This will not negate that He is. Can I prove to you God exists? No. Can He? Yes, if you want to know Him.

Answer 7

If you are an Atheist as you profess, why do you need people to convince you that God exists?

Answer 8

That's what I've heard.
It's easy for me to be an atheist among atheists because I'm allowed to make a response and get a legit answer. :)

Answer 9

THE GRACE OF GOD

Although the Law of Reciprocal Action (Seed and Harvest) is strict and inexorable like all the Laws in Creation, yet the Grace of God has also been woven into it. Only this gives man the possibility at all of being able to redeem a transgression against a Divine Law or Commandment, thus an offence, a sin, as soon as he has recognised his wrong volition in the experiencing, and in steadfast striving turns inwardly to the good. That is a Grace of God which many people endeavour in vain to understand, perhaps also because they think that they must deny the re-embodiments of the human spirit which in many cases are necessary for redemption, thus deny the possibility of repeated earth-lives granted to the human spirits by God.
And yet this Grace of God - in contrast to the Luciferian principle of merciless temptation and seduction of the human spirits to sin - is unutterably vast and great to human understanding. Without this Grace of redemption, man would never be in a position to free himself from the burden of his sins. He would have to carry it around with him eternally.
The question of whether Divine Grace is given unconditionally, or whether it is dependent on the fulfilment of the Divine Commandments, is answered by the Law of Balance between giving and receiving, to which Jesus referred with His words, "it is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20, 35).
Something must be given by the human spirit as balance, as counter-value for the Grace: trust in God and His Will, which is closely bound up with the observance o f His Laws and Commandments. Trust is the basis for the help of Gods for His "Forgiving Grace".


The concept of Grace must therefore not be taken onesidedly. Forgiveness is not possible through faith alone, if faith is not followed by the good deed.
Thus man also experiences the extraordinary Grace of God in the pre-redemption of his evil karma, if he honestly strives to give purity to his inner perceptions and thoughts, and to adjust his doing and thinking to the Laws of Creation. In time he thereby creates for himself an increasingly pure ethereal environment, which must eventually have a definite effect on all that is earthly.
He gradually loosens his dark fetters, imbues his surroundings with refreshing, upbuilding spiritual currents, thereby effecting the mitigation or disintegration of returning lcannaica11y-stipulated dark currents by the lighter radiation. Finally the redemption continues to take place only symbolically, in which "chance" may "play a part through strange guidance and Providence; or situations arise of which we might perhaps say that it could have had a worse ending. With that a feeling of inner relief spreads, as though something menacing, something dangerous had brushed against or passed by us.
With this also we experience one of the many manifestations of Grace which the Creator has bestowed upon us in Ills Laws.
It is a further Grace that the human spirit is permitted to dwell in this wonderful Creation, in order with a free volition to mature in it to a fully conscious personality. This can take place in complete harmony and joy. For sorrow and pain are not necessary for it. These are brought in by man alone. They are not willed by God!
How often we beg that God's great Grace may be upon us. But have we even once considered wherein God's Grace lies?

Answer 10

Sort of, but once you take that leap and believe He reveals Himself to you. Why do you think believers are so adamant?

Answer 11
