Do you believe in God? Why/why not?

Question

Ms_Facesitter · Accepted Answer

I'm a doubter because everytime I hear about God, I always ask myself the following. If I remove the "God told me this and that" from the sentence, would the outcome of whatever was said be different?

I'm hungry, I'm going to the supermarket to get food, so you go out and get food.
I'm hungry, and God told me to go to the supermarket to get food, so you go out and get food.
As long as those words "God told me this/God wanted me to do that" has like zero impact on the action, had you not believed in it, I remain the doubter.

I'm open to there being a God, but to have him dictate small life choices like that, no. God should be occupied doing more important things than playing sims.

I believe in God for a few reasons, one is that I believe God is real, also that believing in God takes away my loneliness, removes my fear of death, and my boredom, gives my life meaning and purpose, makes unpleasant things more favourable, helps me network with nicer people, solves my problems by giving me hope and counsel and contacts, and I feel joy in God, and God justifies the intelligence and wisdom of loving others to me and God helps me when human beings are not able to.

With all that I've witnessed in my life, it would take more faith for me to not believe in Him. Lol Prayers answered, miracles happening, premonitions.. etc.

There's also been evidence that points to Biblical accounts. The area where God led Moses on Mt Sinai still remains burnt to this day from the presence of God, so much so that no plants can grow there, and other examples like this that point to the God of The Bible existing. Some might consider it anecdotal or fairy tale, but I'm not here to debate.
I know my God is real.

Belgie · Accepted Answer

No. There's no evidence for it.

I find it far more likely that man invented the concept to explain the unknown and deal with the existential dread of death.

I also think that if you figured out (as a child) that Santa, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, magic, etc was bullshit, then you are far more likely to make the leap and be an atheist.

If someone had to tell you about Santa not being real, then you're more likely to hold onto stupid irrational ideas.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I do believe in God, yes. I will say upfront I am not the most devoted Catholic, because I am not. I believe having faith in God is a good thing, but religion itself serves as a good moral foundation that I believe is critical to guide people through life and to create faith and love for each other and life around them.

I have sinned and I don't believe every church and biblical teaching, but just because I don't accept all teachings doesn't mean I am not a man of faith.

Snsl153 · Answer

This may seem a bit odd, but I'm not sure. The word "believe" I believe is too strong a word to use within this context, because it strongly implies certainty, the conviction that what one accepts as being true is beyond doubt in one's mind, but there aren't many things that I could seriously say that about. I mean, I believe in my own existence, the existence of an objective reality, the existence of minds other than my own, and the reality of the past, but that's about it.

The universe is perfectly and mathematically organized... Not believing in God is like taking many pieces of a disarmed clock shaking them inside a box, and then expect that the clock will be built... Every order has an intelligent creator, a house can't be built randomly through millions of years, it requires an intelligent architect to build a house.

call_me_scar · Answer

Nope as we just don't have any evidence to believe in one and what knowledge we have collected about the universe at large just doesn't point towards a god doing anything and would seem pretty odd if one did exist like the age of universe imagine how bored or insane you'd be after just living for billions of years doing nothing but watching stars die or how if one does exist and has powers then that would mean it does nothing as horrible acts happen every day

Onceuponoflove · Answer

I am agnostic. I believe there is a God, but I don't who God really is. I believe in a higher power. The knowelgde for the cities and technology we build had to come from something.

Nah. No one can explain what it is. Just vague wishes that death isn't final. Seems too good to be true.
