Do you believe God is real?

Question

FTnWo · Accepted Answer

The way I see it is look at all the crazy shit that happens in the world today, all the hatred, death, pedophilia, starving people, war and corruption and so on... I even read about a church catching fire while people were gathered for worship... it's wild I know, but that all makes me think that if their is a God he is either not all good or not all powerful... but I don't know.
Now I do believe in the universe and I believe it will supply you with what you need and possibly what you want and if you use incantations and meditation.
I don't know if their is a divine entity responsible for us being here or not but I do know that without our star (sun) and without the rock we all call home it wouldn't be possible... I know that weather we were created along with everything else that is around us, or if evolution brought us here or if we are the result of beings from another planet manipulating the DNA of some lost species from this planet, life is a miraculous gift with consciousness bestowed upon us and all other life here, we are special in a way that we are able to adapt and evolve with time, we are able to make choices in ways that other creatures can't, we can be the most caring, living, protective, loyal, understanding, smart, helpful, brave and beautiful creatures upon this planet... but it seems we are also the most careless, destructive, corrupted, greedy, ignorant, full of hate, deceitful, murderous, ugly, selfish, heartless and crazy cancerous plague upon the planet also and we have all lost our way and our ability to live side by side with all other life on this planet... what we need to remember is that nor matter how big or microscopic life is on this planet all life here is equally as precious as any other and just because we are at the top of the food chain doesn't mean that we are the most deserving of life here, it probably means that we are supposed to be the ones that maintain a balance of nature with what was what is and what will be so that life can continue to flourish on this lonely isolated rock floating through an endless void of darkness that we call space (home)

I believe this planet is one big ball of energy and weird all tied in together somehow I've never read the Bible but I know that it says you have to have faith there's going to be many people trying to talk you out of having faith Satan will God is not real because of this or that when we were all born we were given the gift of choice we get to make all our own choices we get to choose who we want to be by the things that we say and do that means you can believe in anything you want you have to have faith something that you cannot see but can you feel it can you see the beauty of everything on this planet we are precisely made we are so perfect units unreal every animal is perfection I'm going to say yes I believe in God I believe I have faith we are all energy. Energy Never Dies it's a look into the white light they say you can't take it with you I say we are the light I say we can take everything with us we have a soul a spirit and we have energy when are Temple our body falls to the ground our energy gathers our soul or spirit and everything we have said and then too bad today and this little orb of light walking to the light we are the light who gather us and take us wherever we're going to next I have faith I believe there is a higher power it God I believe in Jesus Christ I also believe in choice of faith

I went to a Christian school for 8 years as a kid but I never believed in god until the start of this year. I had a tumour found in my head and it wasn’t looking good with the doctors, they didn’t expect me to recover from it. I was in hospital weekly with so much pain in my head for months, I would wake up every night in agony. Right before surgery I prayed for it to be successful and for god to guide the surgeons hands. The surgery was a success, apparently I had a 90% chance of dying from that tumour. Ever since that surgery I have been living my life to the fullest and I pray every single night before I go to sleep, praying for good health and praying for God to continue watching over me. I had that surgery back in June this year.

Depends what you define as real. If you define the term 'real' as something that you can touch and interact with, something that is made of baryonic matter, then god isn't real.
If 'real' means for you something inside your brain, an idea, imagination, illusion, hallucinantion, then god can be real for you.

nightdrot · Answer

As G. K. Chesterton wrote, “It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.”

The paradox is that the atheist is as extreme in his way as is the religious fanatic. Because the atheist sees evil in the world, he jumps to the conclusion that there must therefore be no God.

This presents two problems. First, if there is nothing but the impersonal forces of nature and the laws of physics, then there is no free will. Every thought, every action is predetermined by the intermix of molecular and physical reactions. Nothing can be other than what it is.

The problem then becomes that your belief that God does not exist is then also a simple biochemical molecular reaction. You came to the only conclusion that your physiological structure predetermined you would.

However, if that is true, then your conclusion is no more valid than the opposite conclusion. It was simply the luck of the draw of your brain's electro-chemical reactions and you end up in an intellectual hall of mirrors.

In that connection, atheism tends to premised on a rejection of the idea of God in the absence of proof of His benevolence. This leaves the atheist effectively rejecting only one vision of God - namely the Judeo-Christian version. In truth, there are other conceptions of God. (For example, the ancient Greeks believed that the gods were arbitrary and capricious.)

The second point is that if everything in the universe must have a beginning, then logically something must stand outside the universe to start the universe itself. Chesterton's point stands and is a reflection of Aquinas' view of God as the first cause of all things.

The funny part is that the atheist argues that the universe is more complex than religion. Yet their own explanation is, itself, an oversimplification. Order does not spontaneously come from chaos without something outside itself to impose order. Similarly, if all things existing must start, then something must exist outside of it to start it.

Yet the atheist's problem remains. That the order of existence came from chaos absent something to give it order. It just happened - with the caveat that we don't know how - but it happened within existence because existence is all there is.

That is a presumption - and a problem - for atheism.

TheorionMage · Answer

The REAL issue IS... GOD believes YOU are 'real'.

2nd key Q&A of the Catholic Baltimore Catechism is:
Q: What would happen if GOD stopped thinking of me?
A: I would CEASE to BE!

We are told we are made in God's image AND 'LIKENESS'...
the ONLY place wherein we 'humans' can LITERALLY 'create' FROM NOTHING
is in OUR imaginative 'day dreams'. Everywhere else, we re-combine, manufacture or
chemically-react.
Ask yourself where the inhabitants of YOUR daydreams go when YOUR attentions are required elsewhere?

Ergo we are literally 'figments' of GOD's imagination~

Molly_16 · Answer

Nope. I’ve been an atheist most my life and I’ve been more into the scientific side. I was a Christian once but there are many contradictions when looking at science. I cannot say the existence of god is not true. But I believe in such things as evolution due to the many evidence supporting it. And as it contradicts with the Christian belief of god put us here. And things such as Noah’s ark which are hard to believe. I have turned myself to a new way of thinking of the world. Involving physics and maths and less belief

molonski2 · Answer

Sadly NO , everyone would probably like to believe , but with over 15,000 religions available , how could there possibly be a God? There is no reincarnation , you just die and thats it , that was your lot.

If there were much a ruling being , conveyer of good over evil , he / she would not let 15,000 religions happen , he/ she would stop all the horrendous things that happen. NOPE , sadly what you have in this mortal body , well thats it , so make the most of it , and just try and be a good person , thats the best way.

ABSOLUTELY , there is NO GOD , its all business , fantasy , and tax evasion , thrown in a whole lot of lunatics' .

ManOnFire · Answer

Most definitely. All my life. Going through teenhood I had the usual atheistic times of angst and wondering if God existed or if the Bible was even true. Now in my adult life I believe in God fully and don't foresee that ever changing. Places in my life as well unusual experiences also prompt me to have this faith, without going to church. I could go into a long detailed list, but not here.

A few years ago I watched a video with an older middle Eastern man detailing his own story of how he went from Muslim to Christian years back, having seen Jesus in a dream. Jesus called him, and he was compelled to listen. And there's still a patch of his chest where the hair is white, where Jesus touched him in the dream. Was pretty amazing.

t-8900 · Answer

yeah I do. I've experienced some paranormal stuff and I know when something is truly right or wrong in a sense beyond basic human morality. When I had a near death experience I realized I wasn't ready to go because I needed to make right with God first and if I went having lived a casual life in this modern world I knew I wasn't finding salvation. So I had to fix myself and still am to this day. I honestly think there are more people who do believe than will admit simply because they think that by lying to themselves they can go on living a life without honor and virtue and by pretending it's not there they will be fine and nothing bad will ever happen.

Catlover1999 · Answer

I used to be an atheist but now I’m agnostic since no one can say for certain that there isn’t a god. Also I do agree that current cultural decline has partly been caused by ditching the Christian values and the influence that Christianity had on Western civilisation.

ManHater · Answer

HAHAHA god... honestly look how big the universe is and if you think for once god gives a fuck about one little speck of dust compared to the whole universe then you have a very very shallow mind.

There are so many planets that we don't even have a number big enough to count them all. Here is the thing, the universe has some semblance of balance with a set of rules. To say that some one or something set these rules in place is there but not what you would think as in he's going to grant you special privileges because you believe in this thing.

The universe is a very big place and it's mysteries are far and between. Yet far to large for any human mind to comprehend. In order for a human to comprehend the workings of the universe it requires a radical form of teaching. However till then we are still monkey's with nukes.

HughDogg · Answer

I'm by no means the most religious person, but I definitely believe in God. How else would the universe have come to be otherwise? Sure, we know about the big bang (or at least we think we do, since it's really just a theory), but I'm still not convinced that some sort of higher power was not responsible for the creation of the universe.

But then again, if there was a God, who are you or I to say that he exists or not? It would not (and probably never) be within our capacity as humans to declare it. We are nothing compared to the universe, let alone a God.

Brendan824 · Answer

Yes I believe there is Source God and I believe that everything is God collectively
The saying we are made in God's image is literal as we have a piece of God in us
I believe that God is nonjudgmental always loving and compassionate even with the ones who make "bad decisions"
I believe that God is always willing to help out in any way you allow God toI believe that God is both Masculine and FeminineI believe God wants you to do what you want to do not what a priest pope or pastor wants you to do

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

Very much! Try talking to him like you talk to anyone. People complicate God there's no need of it; Jesus will show you all you need to know!

Sometimes Gods voice is audible, sometimes its a feeling like you know you should or shouldn't do something and you dont know why, sometimes its through another person, sometimes you hear it out in nature thats most common to me. He also speaks to us as we are reading the Bible before you read it ask God to help you understand it. God is faithful!

rxm_bxl · Answer

I definitely believe that there is a higher being that can be referred to as “God”. But this is not necessarily the Christian God.
Nonetheless there is something bigger than all of us- even if you believe is science, questions reach an extent where the answer is just beyond us and hence a God is the “beyond us”.

MrKinktastic · Answer

Depends how we are defining real. Is it a physical entity like a dude in a chair? Not exclusively.

My take is it’s more or less everything/everyone. Both the creator (consciousness) and the creation (the universe) and we are all the little points those two parts intersect.

globetrotter22 · Answer

I believe science is a deeper study of God’s creation. This world, matter and life itself is way too complex to spontaneously be created out of nothing. Just think about simple elemental matter (solids, liquid, gas and plasma). Did these elements just always exist for all of time?

Believing there is a God is just the first step. But doing his will is another. I could be doing better spiritually lately.

Nvrsn15fit · Answer

Yeah I’ve had a lot of crazy experiences of him being there.  That feeling is indescribable I do believe in God

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

Oh yeah, most definitely. I had one experience that I can guarantee it is true. My sister had one once. True believers should have experiences themselves throughout life. Then there is the Bible written over 1600 years by 40 people. You would swear it was written by one person (technically it was). What other religion has a Bible like such?

Jay3344 · Answer

God to me is not an Old man but instead a force or power in the and beyond the universe. A friend once said to me that Christians say God is the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end. He then said Energy cannot be created or destroyed and this is proven, so he believed that God was Energy, and cannot be created or destroyed. Sounded pretty good.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I believe somethings up there. I also never understood if that person was so great and loving, why would he let babies or wonderful people die such horrible deaths? They say he gives his hardest battles to the strongest people, but when does the agony stop? When does he finally decide youve been through enough and let you enjoy life?

SupremeWarlord · Answer

Nope, it's just an imaginary friend designed to give authority to religious leaders, everybody has their own version of god, not everyone is saying the truth, and it's highly possible that none of them are. Just "having faith" is not enough for something to be true, you won't make something real just by believing it hard enough.

PeterYYY · Answer

No. The Bible was first written kind of 300 years after the actual events of Jesus. It has been altered and rewritten many times. Some British king decided about the last version. What did he know?
For me, I do believe in a higher being, More like the native americans. Why build a house, paint it white and go there every Sunday? If I want to speak with God, I just go out in nature. He's everywhere, anytime.
That's how I feel about it.

jshm2 · Answer

Depends what you define as "real".

Colour isn't real, it's picked up differently depending on light and the beholders perception. A colour blind person isn't going to see it at all, but that doesn't matter to the colour.

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes I think it's as simple as god being root energy for everything, which we equate to being love, which is what we are made of and want. being beings, we are separated from god by our psyche and that leads to a host of problems.
