i believe there are an infinite amount of opinions, and
possiblitys
and obscenely small amount of actual evidence for any
argument in matters of religion, in short, i'm smart-
not smart enough to know the answer, but not dumb enough to
say that i do

i know it's a clichè, but (shit this is going to be hard
explain, excuse my poor English) i've always believed that
"God" is something that we've "created" in our mind. It's
like we've created this "father-figure" for the human-race
and all living things. But if it helps people believing in
God, that's cool for them. for me, i don't need him.

not that i can actually make myself believe, but it helps ya

Uh... I don't know. I'd like to, but I don't know... how the
hell DID we get here, anyway? Something must have
happened... what or who did it... and where did IT or THEY
come from? How the hell?!?!?!?!?! There has to be a
beginning somewhere... right? How could a big bang just kind
of... BANG... happen like that?

So I don't know what to believe... someday.

If there IS a God, I know he hates me.

yeah...if you knew you only had 20 seconds to live or

will. that's weird.

no, i dont
i try not to BELIEVE that there is no god either...

i have no idea
but think there's probably no god
im pretty sure there isn't

the chance of god being real is the chance that santa clause
happens to be real too

the thing is: its obvious that wether there is one or not,
OUR idea of 'god' is made by US.
its a human creation
it comforts us
makes us feel important
justifies our actions

i agree with phresch
it helps to believe in god, its like a phycological tool u
can use to make life easier

so, i definitly dont believe OUR idea of god exists in the
way most people do
in the way he is supposed to

I go to church every Sunday, but only because my mom would
hate me if I didn't... I don't listen or care, I sit there
and look at the abnormally large amount of pretty females
that go my church.

I find when I'm pissed or stressed, I say ''For God's
sake!'', ''Fucking Jesus Christ!'', ''Jesus, Mary and
Fucking Joseph!'', ''God help me!'', ''Please God!'', etc,
etc. So I'm KIND of religious, in a way... a obscenity
filled way...

Yeah, and when I'm happy, I always ''Thank God'', stuff like
that. Strange.

yeah but saying that a major deite is unlikely is a whaste
of breath
human beings are unlikely, but here we are so is any genetic
material floating around in space, but it's there- and most
importantly the very nature of atomic structure strikes me
as the most preposterous thing i'd ever heard- but , again,
there it is. what's the point in saying how "likely"
something is if you don't have any real way of gathering any
real evidence that will actually prove the argument one way
or another, the only "proof" we have has been either created
or at least, by humans who remain, as always, imperfect.

I was raised in a christian household, and all my life I've
had God, and Christianity pushed down my throat... recently
I've been thinking that maybe I've just believed in God
because I've been told that he exists all my life... I've
really been thinking if I actually believe in God or not...
or if it's just something that's been fed to me all my
life... it's funny, when you've grown up in a household like
mine you hardly have a choice as to whether God exists or
not, because you grow up going to sunday school, and
attending christian schools, etc, etc, and it becomes
imprinted in your brain... so I've been trying to really
figure out what I believe... I don't go to church anymore,
or any of that... it doesn't interest me... but things just
seem to point to the fact that God does exist (for me
anyways)... simple little things, but when they happen I'm
like "whoa, cool!!"... so yes, I believe in God...

ya of course.. u cant measure the probability of something
without all the facts

i just meant we made up god like we make up santa claus for
kids
imagine if the big myth of santa claus just happened to
actually be real, like we happened to make up the right
supernatural being

the chances of ANYTHING are extremely unlikely, this is
where statistics just become useless when talking about
stuff like this
u cant measure shit like this in that way
the genetic code of ostriches is EXTREMELY unlikely
perhaps the whole universe was created for them
the persice arangement of atoms that make up a cloud is
EXTREMELY unlikely.. perhaps the universe was created just
for that cloud

I'm a deist, so I believe in a supreme being, but I usually
avoid the name God, because it's such a loaded word.

exactly aminal- and i agree that even if there was a god, or
is a god that doesn't get onto the news often (whatever) i'm
gonna say that 9/10's out of every "holy" book is
miscomunication, misunderstanding, or traslation error, so
what's the point of using a bible, for instance as proof? if
it's in english it's not even written in the original
language, how can you safely interpret any of it?
well i'm done with this topic now, i'm going back to my own
personal religion

deite, doesn't neccesarily mean "god" (proper noun)
where as god imply specific religious beliefs, who knows,
maybe the norsemen were real, and we should all be
worshipping odin, and thor

Where I live, if you talk about "God" people assume you mean
the Christian God. That's not what I mean so I don't use
that name.

god is obviously a creation finding its birthplace within
the human mind in order to explain what our conventional
science can not......just like how "Thor" use to be said to
be responcible for lightening and so forth
