Do you belive in god? Why and why not?

[morfian]

I personal belive in the the twelve Olympians are the major deities.

Yes

No

[Regmorus]

It's not that simple by me. The most I believe in some deities who probably are not known to anyone else or maybe to very few people. Much lesser I believe in human deities because the former I more or less directly experienced in my life the later no. However on one hand my deities usually claim human deities exist, on another hand I had some encounters with human deities too (babylonian ones, egyptian ones and christian God). My deities let the final choice of the existence or non-existence of earthly deities be mine. So, I don't know. From time to time to explain that all I assume that me be "offspring" of other gods than the gods of whom normal humans are either "children" or slaves. Some kinda accidental mentions or kinda "typos" in traditional religious books confirm existence of such "other humans" and "other gods" to me, more precise they confirm that the earthly deities are aware of their existence.

I am a person who is non-religious but believes in spiritualism, believing the energy in your body must go somewhere, it can't just stop existing, whether it goes into plants or into animals, it has to be transported to another location.

This does NOT mean I believe in ghosts okay? It's a big misunderstanding and I don't believe in sentient ghosts and such after death.

Though I do respect others beliefs and I do not fight people on the subject as I don't wish to insult someones religion and personal perspective on the world :)

[morfian]

So you belive in reincarnation?

[Aguysopinion4799]

Not exactly, I simply believe the energy in our bodies goes into the surroundings.
Not a matter of coming back as something else, but the energy we have that makes our brains function and such, all of that energy has to go somewhere, whether it rots down and is absorbed by plants, eaten by animals and that energy goes into them, we are part of them but we are no longer a being, it is simply our components that are in them.

So no, I do not believe in reincarnation.

[morfian]

Is very intrestig have you got this idea or you read about some where?

[Aguysopinion4799]

I read into multiple beliefs, followed through with sciences, looked through different ways of what people think happens to the conscious part of ourselves after death and decided upon the ideology that after death your thoughts and consciousness are no longer a thing, just energy.

I did take beliefs from various choices to make it like this, reason being is that each one had some things I agreed with and parts I didn't, so I had to choose something from each area.

[Cravings]

I respect your commitment to trying to learn about stuff like this. I think people go into religion blindly but you have been able to use your own ideologies from various faiths/beliefs to get a better view about things.

[Aguysopinion4799]

@Cravings Thank you ^_^

[Anonymous]

I was atheist for a while there but I started reading and learning about the universe, physics, the human body and how it functions, and I also did drugs that provoked some sort of out of body experience where I didn’t feel real anymore and that’s when I realized there is a god. I’ll never be able to imagine what god might be so I’m not specifically closed to one religion but I do believe this (life) cannot be what it seems (what it’s portrayed to be)

[AzureGirl]

Nah, learning about different deities is interesting to me but I don’t think I would be interested in picking one religion to follow.

[morfian]

Religion is just for make money, ever zeus ask for money?

[OfDeath]

No I don't because there is not one single shred of evidence that God exists. God is primitive man's answer to the unknown.
Some people think they are so smart that they can explain everything and for that which cannot be explained, they use god.
The furthest back in time science can see is to a sort of back ground radiation that was emitted as a result of the big bang but we can only detect it from hundreds of thousands of years after the big bang so nobody knows the processes before that other than in theory.
To just fill in that blank space with "oh god did that bit" is to stop looking for the actual truth.
We don't know and we may never know but to say God is the reason isn't basing it in reality at all.

[WadeDanielSmith]

The Copernican Principle and the Maximization of the Laws of the Universe is strong evidence of Creation by an Almighty God.

"The Multiverse described by String Theory is so perfect that the only way it could come into being is if it were in fact Created by a pre-existing intelligence." - Dr. Michio Kaku, 2018, Facebook.

[morfian]

God does not explane anything, that the reasons man pretend to invent.

[WadeDanielSmith]

God perfectly explains miracles, prophecy, and the Order in the Universe.

I've eye witnessed miracles of multiplication, dozens of prophetic dreams coming to pass, and seen real Angels and Archangels which know the future, and so the only rational explanation for that is that an Almighty God actually does exist.

You are ignorant of the Ontological argument too. The fact the concept of a Greatest Conceivable Being exists proves an actual Greatest Conceivable Being exists.

God does solve all kinds of problems, you're just being dishonest.

There must be a First Cause of all of reality, and that First Cause must be uncaused, therefore the First Cause must be Self-Motivated. The only thing that can be Self-Motivated is a Free Moral Agent. Which means an actual intelligent Almighty, Eternally Righteous God exists and God is the First Cause of all of reality.

The Greatest Conceivable Being is in fact the First Cause of all of reality.

[OfDeath]

@WadeDanielSmith Ok first, I will just address your first cause argument, if god is uncaused, that means uncausation is a possibility in reality. That would allow existence to begin uncaused and eventually trigger the universe. So by that idea, god wouldn't even need to exist and ends up being an extremely unlikely candidate for a first cause of existence.
The fact is that there is zero proof of god. Absolute zero. All the stuff you say about the concept of it being proof is ridiculous. The concept of my arse doubling as your face exists too but it is not the case and does not prove it to be. You claiming to witness miracles and angels is more a question of your mental health than any proof god exists. Prophecy? They are loose interpretations which never actually mention real details. Almost anyone could twist stuff like that towards being related to something that actually happened.
God is a human invention. To just assume it to be the answer to everything is to not try. To not search for the real answer. The human race does not know everything yet, maybe we never will but the reason existence exists has an answer more fantastic than just god did it. There are concepts we are still yet to discover and grasp.

[Ironlak282]

No I don't actively believe in any God. I'm not closed off to the idea of a higher power but there are at least 4,300 religions in the world, most being incompatible. So either humanity has made up 4,299 religions with one true one or all 4,300 are false.

[morfian]

What if are all false but every body is looking for the same.

[Ironlak282]

You mean what if all religions are failed attempts at understanding the same true higher power? Yer I'm open to that idea, not sure if it's necessary though.

[ItalianGuy2021]

We live in a Satanic world system and once someone sees all the Satanic symbolism and the hand signs and other aspects of it it is not hard to know they are hiding God from us. I mean people like Christian Bale go on stage and accept an award and blatantly say they want to thank Satan and people act like it is a joke when it completely isn't. The elite, politicians and Hollywood are just a huge cult and so are people in the music industry. Just look at the symbolism someone like Katy Perry Pyramids and the Eye of Horus/Eye of the AntiChrist in her music videos. Everything in this world is AntiChristian this is why everything we are taught in life and taught to do goes against the bible in some way.

[morfian]

I did not ask if you belive in satan, i hask about god.

[ItalianGuy2021]

The bible says Satan is ruler of this world so you have to believe there is a Satan to believe in God. Read what I said.

[ItalianGuy2021]

The fact that all this stuff is going on and people are oblivious to it all shows they are hiding God from us on purpose. Even churches give us half truths to hide this world from us and hide God.

[morfian]

Only if you belive in the bible written by man, you can belive in lovencraft gods , written by an other man.

[ItalianGuy2021]

Also the only way to be a true Christian is to read about Satanism because Satanism is the lie that is deceiving everyone. You need to know your enemy. For example Satanists say walk backwards talk backwards look at Michael Jackson he made the moonwalk famous in the 80s walking backwards. The count you hear when a space shuttle lifts 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 counting backwards this kind of thing is Satanism but you would not know that unless you studied it.

[Anonymous]

Nope i don't believe in god, sinply bc there is no evidence supporting it. Also all religions claim to be true and all have very different sets of beliefs, so am i just meant to choice one and give up some of my freedom just so i might be right in the end?

[Lstratt1984]

I don't just believe... my experiences and encounters allow me to know there is a God. I hope people can reflect on everything from the simple beauties of the world, to prophecies that have been fulfilled and are being fulfilled, and can choose soon for themselves

[MadBoy]

I believe there is something out there. I don't know what, and I don't think I'll ever know. It could be the Christian God, it could be Greek gods, it could be Budda, could be a flying monster made outta spaghetti, could be aliens playing a cruel experiment. I don't know. All I do know is that there's something out there, and it's just watching.

[Liam_Hayden]

I believe in one infinite God because my definition of God, which predates my conversion to Christianity or any faith (I first became a Deist), postulates that the ultimate cause of space-time-matter-energy must be omni-everything.

[EnglundUberAlles]

God is an imaginary friend approved by the institution. And you know what kind of people live in an institution.

[Adam1978]

It's simply doesn't make sense that a god would exist everything speaks against it.

[morfian]

Such as?

[Adam1978]

Well the most obvious is who created god, if he created the world. If things can just exist then the world can just exist without involvement of a god.

[morfian]

Who sad to you god create thing?

[Adam1978]

Basically all religions I have heard about. Except some new age stuff where god is everything. Which is kind of pointless.

[WadeDanielSmith]

We've known for over 100 years that the Universe is past finite.

Einstein proposed the Cosmological Constant in a vain attempt to disprove God.

Edwin Hubble proved the Universe was Past Finite, and the Christian George Lamaitre proposed the Big Bang theory as the mechanism God used to Create the Universe.

Fred Hoyle used Creationism to EXACTLY predict the nuclear Resonance of the Carbon Atom to correctly predict the Triple Alpha Process which is the second stage of Stellar Fusion.

God exists, and believers in God are actually the ones who contribute all the real science. Atheists just steal God's work and lie about it.

[WadeDanielSmith]

God is self-eternal.

The Universe is not self-eternal.

Edwin Hubble proved the Universe is not self-eternal.

Guthe proved in 2008 that no space-time continuum can ever be self-eternal, and therefore Vector Spaces do not exist in reality.

God is not a dimensional construction.

God is a Singular Being (A Singularity actually) and is not a part of any class outside Himself.

[Adam1978]

You didn't prove anything with those statements. They don't add up at all. All you made was a theory of a theology. No conclusion only a statement taken from thin air. That's not how logic works. Big bang is still only a theory, it hasn't been proven to be true. It's just the most popular theory who has most facts matching observations.

[morfian]

But adam you did not prove the absence of god.

[Adam1978]

I don't need to. It's your or his job to prove his existence. Otherwise he can remain unknown.

[morfian]

He does not need to prove is full of fan.

[WadeDanielSmith]

Wrong. The equations associated with the Big Bang correctly predicted the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiations's temperature to within less than half a degree margin of error. It is a Five Sigma correct theory, which means it's absolutely true, it just isn't "perfect" yet.

The Universe is proven to be Past Finite, which means it absolutely was Created by a pre-existing intelligence.

[Adam1978]

No it doesn't, intelligence is not required to create reactions.

[morfian]

Why you talk about itelligence , may be gods are on other level of it , like artificial intelligence.

[Adam1978]

You said it, I just said your conclusion is flawed. There is no need for anything.

[ThatGuy133]

Yea I believe so. I know some stuff can be explained as evolution but ultimately there are aspects of us and the world around us that can't be explained by modern science

[Cryptic-Game]

All people believe God exists. All people have an innate knowledge that God is the creator of the seen and unseen worlds.

[genericname85]

i do not, cause i only accept things that can be shown to be true.

[morfian]

So you dont belive in love?

[genericname85]

love is evident and can be shown through acts of affection. acts of affection are: words of encouragement, quality time spent together, giving and receiving gifts, acts of service or physical touch. this is easily shown through socialbehavioristic observation. i simply call the constant display of mutual and reciprocal affection by the mechanisms that i already elaborated on "love" and as i explained, that can be shown to be true.

if you have another definition of love, tell me what it is, then i can tell you if i accept it or not.

[genericname85]

so no, i don't believe in love. i only accept it, if it's shown to be true.

[Dargil]

Because a Creator is the easiest explanation for everything around us.

[Valricthehalfling7]

I’m not religious because it was forced on me as a kid and Iv always been into science which disproves biblical stories

[iOoko]

they're free to exist but they should stop touching quasars as depicted because that causes gamma ray bursts didn't you know?

[Agape93]

I believe in many gods and goddesses

[rgb008]

Yes I am very religious

[Ámayas_20]

I'm an agnostic atheist.

[Lstratt1984]

Lol gotta ask... is that a thing?

[Ámayas_20]

@Lstratt1984 Umm what? lmao

[Lstratt1984]

I've just never heard of an agnostic atheist. Just wondering if you were being funny or if that's really a thing lol

[Ámayas_20]

@Lstratt1984 Yes it's real.

[Lstratt1984]

My fault. Just never heard both of those together. Just usually one or the other. But my ignorance was reduced today! Thank you :)

[Ámayas_20]

@Lstratt1984 No problem, sorry I was a bit rude.

[Lstratt1984]

I didn't take you as rude! Thank you though!

[NorthwestRider]

Nope and I find religion stupid and backwards

[Gedaria]

Yes. It's the only sensible thing to do

[najekim]

I believe in an even higher power. Nature.

[Omar5881]

Yeah I do believe in god

[Anonymous]

yes because I was taught that way.

[strateguy632]

. yess

[Anonymous]

If he's real pls tell him/her:
Bye

[Iron_Man]

Yes I sure do
