if you do not believe in God... then what do you believe in?
In my own experience and understanding of the universe thus far I feel something must be there. I would call myself a believer.
I mean, I know these questions are pointless, but where the FUCK did anything come from??? And what the fuck are we? What the fuck are YOU! You, yes you reading some abitrary symbols from a photon emitting surface. Whatever the fuck that is!!

yes, those are some pretty big questions
but cant u just admit that u dont know? instead of making up explanations..... just, basically, out of thin air?
"gee, this would be nice and comforting..... i think ill believe in it"
u know what i mean...... im not trying to be offensive here
and btw: obviously, i dont believe in a god

"any conscious being is god"... i don't know if i see what you mean, but that makes sense to me — if you consider that every conscious being has (among other things) the power to imagine what it wants, and so, to create new worlds, beings... and in fact, it does it every time, because it has a subjective vision of the world... maybe we're just imaginating everything, sometimes unconsciously...
i don't know if it was close to what you meant... ^^

as for another god or supreme being... i don't really strongly believe in anything, but i like to believe there are forces or something... without much personality, or even apersonal — the idea of a good and almighty god doesn't really pleases me (i know, it's not always the most pleasant theories who are true, but since we have no clue, i think we're entitled to believe in whatever we want...)

No i don't belive in any gods at all.
The universe is one big organism constantly evolving to perfection , creating perfect little life circles where everything fits perfectly except us humans on planet earth.
We are a mistake , a mutation that should not be , destroying and altering everything so that it fits our needs.
We are a virus that evolution and the forces of life is trying to get rid of by giving us Aids and Cancer but just like a virus we adapt and grow stronger and soon we will spread to other planets.
Our insignifican't existence will soon be at end though and i say Enjoy The Time We Have and make the best of it.

sometimes i believe that in the beggining there was something- call it "god" or not, that started the whole thing- every lifeform is beautiful and perfect.
but sometimes i find god as a remedy for our fear of death- we always wanted to be immortal so we created god, heaven and so on.

I believe that we are just a bunch of cells working together to do things. I think people severely overestimated the importance of the human race. Come on people, we're probably going to be extinct in 20,000 (ok, we'll be long dead, but you see my point?). When we die, these cells just die and substances that give life such as nitrates are produced from the decomposers and passed on for new life. I don't know what it'll be like when we die, I can't remember what it was like before I was born. It does seem a pretty scary premise though, but just think how many people have died before us.
I think religion (and I don't want to offend people) is for people to have a reason for their existance. Maybe our existance was to just die though. Some people can't handle the fact that maybe there's not anything else..

Id like to talk with uzim about this type of thing, as he has seen lain, and obviously has a new way of looking at things too :)
god Lain is cool...
there is no god, especally in any religious sense, to believe something all knowing and all powerful could screw up so much is ridiculous. god is for us whatever brought about our existence, not the universe, perhaps an alien is our creator, perhaps a large cluster of material that exploded billions of years ago and left everything to chance...

I think people who believe Man has come into being by chance have an incredible (and that's not a strong enough word) amount of faith in evolution.
It's far more logical to believe in a god, a creator.
For a single cell organism to just come into existance is a infinitely unlikely event, so for an organism as indescribably complex as Man to come about... we must have been created.

bollox loogie, sure, its a hugely rare occurance for a single celled organism to appear, but it happens, and if things are right it stands a very good chance of surviving and evolving. even if god created the whole, whos to say that evolution wouldnt still happen. it very might well have been that a god created the earth and said "lets see what happens if I leave it alone" perhaps god wants to find out where he/she/it came from...

I'm not ruling out evolution and mutation happening, but it's too much to just believe that we evolved from a sinlge cell organism

Jesus fucking Christ, I spend whole sleepless nights laying in bed thinking about these huge spacey things, just like that. It hurts my head.
How did God come to be, what was before him? Is he/was he infinite? Who fucking knows. I don't even know if he's real. I'll decide later in life, when I'm more experienced.
If he IS real, he fucking hates me!!!

i don't think we, humans, will be out in 20,000 years... all species try to survive and evolve in function of his 'surroundings', but humans know the risks and are aware that they die, that we will have to go away to another planet, etc...
othes species don't that much counsiousness(??) that's why we will always be here as long as there is a new planet for us to go and reproduxe ourselves...
still, i mostly agree with sido about us being parasites(??), but do you know that if men wasn't there another species will be dominant and create big problems for planet earth, i think we have a better chance to save our planet caus we know how to do it and no other species could save the planet or itself by going to another planet...
