    I've already confronted myself with that question before. Basically came up with the answer, "Sort of." So, yes, I do in fact believe in God at this moment. Have a nice day.

    No. But I do believe that our lives are somewhat pre-planned out by a greater force.

    Elaborate please.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    Something similar to destiny. Like a mixture of destiny and an overseer of destiny.

    yes i do simple because we would have to have a supreme being with a sense of humor to have the platypus.

    Everything stems from God. But not a good and wholesome God. A God who likes gunfire and explosions, and cheers at the end of every Steven Seagal flick. A God who would bet on office death pools if He had need of money. Your God dropped manna from the sky onto the Jews under Moses. My God dropped napalm on the gooks under Ho Chi Minh. There is a difference here. "I am the Alpha and the Omega. The hollow point and the depleted uranium slug. When Patton was, I am." For my flesh is K-ration indeed, and my blood is whisky. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As a killing machine made of flesh who eats scrap iron and shits bouncing bettys.

     

    That said, no, I don't.

    Yes. There are beings that exist higher on the spectrum of existance than humans. I believe it would be foolish to discount the concept, but I think the idea of the 'Christian God' to be just plain ridiculous. What interest would an omnipotent being have in a bunch of dirt monkeys? It's an excellent example of hubris.. a lowly race thinking that they alone are worth the attentions of a higher being.

    I believe there is a god, but I don't trust his fan club.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    Lol. Nicely put. I'm glad you at least distinguished between the two. A lot of people have a hard time with that.

    This makes the most sense to me.

    ill add, not the traditional God, just the traditional message of be good to each other.

    I belive in God, and a Church. I do not belive in the god that "strikes people dead", nor do I belive in the americain religion where it seems that the flag is more important it then the cross.

    Yes i do believe in a God.

    My beliefs involving this God are rather different to the classical Christian God though.

    Nasica, I have never read one of your post, atleast that I remember, but I'd love if you would describe to me your image of the "classical Christian God."

  • MarleVVLLMarleVVLL Member UncommonPosts: 907

    I hope his/her response is the God of the Bible - not the God of western churchanity.

    Lol. Nasica's a Buddhist as far as I remember. I thought that there could be multiple gods in Buddhism though? I mean there are a few different 'realms' aren't there? And there is supposed to be this realm of divinity I think. And people can achieve divinity, but the point is rather to achieve Nirvana. Buddhism also has a Hell (much more terrible than anything in the Bible if I remember correctly). Maybe there are different forms of it though, and I'm only remembering one.

    My uncle is a hardcore buddhist and nothing what you said registers with what he has told me, and we've had LOOOOOOOONG talks. I suppose there may be different sects.

    And regarding Hell - nope. Just plain - nope.

    For those who replied yes.. What type of god is he? What type of life do you live?

    How do you explain the non-sense that occurs these days, in reguards to the middle east and their religions that clash and pour blood over a "holy land"?

    If you believe (truly) in a god, if he is a "morally sound" god, do you live your life in perfect regulation?

    Do you live your life in fear of rain and lightning bolts?

    Are you prone to "sin", but see your god as a "forgiving" one? Are you SURE that he is a "forgiving" type of god?

    Is your god, a one "nation, team, person" type of god? Is he going to the super bowl tonight to stand behind one of the teams playing and spite the other? (lol)

    Is he always on "americas" side? (lol)

     

    God?

    I'm just curious what the people who said god of the bible or christian god mean.  I'm pretty sure all the abrahamic religions worship the same god(Jews, Muslims, Christians), the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda.  The Jews picked it up during their exile, if you notice there isn't a whole lot of talk about the afterlife until this period.   Then Christians came from the Jews and then Islam sprouted up by itself, obviously inspired by Judiaism and Christianity.

    Well it seems to me that sense everyone can come up with their "own" personalized gods (which they do) all it leads to is a general dislike and intolerance for the man next to you..

    You want to know how many personal "gods" people tell me that they believe in that doesn't support "interracial" affairs? Countless..

    What about the "gods" that support things like war and nuclear power (that is going to destroy "his" planet one day)?

    What about the "gods" that look down upon people that eat meat? Do you eat meat?

    What about all the different "gods" that accept so many different government types?

    How can you respect a variable? You cannot say it is static, because besides your books, how would you know? "God" is a simple variable, he can really be turned into a mathematical sentence had you added more variables to him like the ones I just explained...

    People make him up, but try to hold OTHER people to "his" standards..

    ALL i'm getting at is, why do we have to blame/involve these "gods" in every situation?

    Why is it seen as being a  when someone goes and kills someone and blames it on the "devil"? But when someone wins an award or even survives an automobile accident they can blame "god" and not be seen as a ?

    2 entities that in most cases tie into each other (one being "good" and the other "bad"), yet you have to be a  for involving the latter, when they both are variables, the same..
