⚠️ PLEASE READ ALL CHOICES BEFORE MAKING A SELECTION. Do you believe in The One God? Why or why not? Also, what is the purpose of life?

[Asad1ONE1]

I believe in The One God, but only because I was raised to believe. I was taught to believe. Also, I believe that the purpose of life (main idea) is to believe in, submit to and most importantly "trust in" God. The One God. Because everything else is basically a "side story" (e. g. Harry Potter was full of different plots and narratives, but we all knew how that ended and what really mattered in the end.) Just an analogy.

If troubles didn't exist. If "unfairness" didn't exist. There would be no purpose. He wants you to "trust" in the fact that He is capable of anything and everything, most of which is the Supreme ability to change your mindset. And that's really all that matters. Your "mindset".

God wants you to know the reason you exist 🙏. For Him.

So show the RESPECT He deserves.

I DO NOT believe in The One God

I believe in The One God, but only because I was raised to believe

I believe in The One God, as in I know for sure He exists

I am not sure of the existence of The One God

[TheVigilantFox]

I was brought up believing in god and Jesus, I still kinda do believe in them,


I also believe in heaven and hell,


I do sometimes wonder if it’s all balls at times, as where is hell? Where is heaven? People paint Jesus as white in everything when I’m fact he’d be Asian of some description he wouldn’t be white,


God is painted as a man with a big white beard who’s white but how? No one’s ever seen him!


I also somewhat believe that maybe when you die you can be reincarnated and come back as someone or something else, but I’m not 100% sure on any of it.


I’m sort of questioning my beliefs as I’m getting older.

[jshm2]

You've missed quite a few selections such as

"I believe there is a God"

The word "exists" is the wrong word to use as it signifies something with a beginning and an end, within the period it exists.

God is eternal, hence cannot have a beginning or end.

[Asad1ONE1]

Ok. But I meant the same thing. You're thinking of it differently and over analyzing. Maybe you're right I don't know.

[Asad1ONE1]

God "Exists" and that doesn't mean such an entity doesn't have a beginning or an end. And yes, He can "non-exist" if He chooses so.

[Jessica405]

I am a non believer. I cannot see any logical reason for any god or goddess to have been created. Religion was invented purely because mankind could not accept its own mortality. It had to invent an afterlife as something to cling on to.

[Asad1ONE1]

Based on your explanation, you should choose the last choice. How can you be absolutely sure there is no God? No one in the world should choose the first choice. Just one of the other 3. They're more logical than the 1st choice.

[Jessica405]

Knowing how the universe, physical matter, and time itself, were created, no god could exist before that moment. So something must have created a god for one to exist. If one god was created, why not multiple gods. Why create the universe? A big celestial game?

The main thing is that matter is finite. As the universe expands, matter will be diluted until the universe becomes a very cold lonely place. No life, nothing. Not even a god.

[Jessica405]

The first option IS my choice. I do not believe. What makes YOUR god more likely than Pagan gods and goddesses?

[Asad1ONE1]

I know you're smarter than this. Much smarter.

[Asad1ONE1]

Just making assumptions without any proof of something (or nothing) is probably the biggest foolish act any human being can commit.

[Asad1ONE1]

You can't just say there is no God without proof of no God. Same with proof of "The God".

[Asad1ONE1]

So based on your mindset. Your choice should be D. You don't know what lies out there in the deep reaches of the Universe. It's most SCARY to think otherwise.

We don't know s**t.

[Jessica405]

Who created your god? Prior to the big bang, it is impossible for anything to exist except the singularity itself. So when was your god created, why, and by who?

[Asad1ONE1]

This goes beyond our logic and ability to understand. My sincere recommendation is that you study the Holy Quran.

[Asad1ONE1]

God wasn't created. He always Was. And always Will be.

[Jessica405]

Sorry to say, you are wrong. Nothing existed before the singularity exploded. The "Big Bang". Not even time existed. Just gen up a bit on astro physics and particle physics!

[Asad1ONE1]

And you're convinced that's the truth?

[Jessica405]

Yes, it is. Religions were only created by mankind because they were, and still are, shit scared of their own mortality. They had to brainwash themselves into believing there is life after death. They just could not accept that death means oblivion. You cease to exist.

[Agape93]

Do you believe in The One God? Why or why not?
Nope, because there isn't just one God. There are hundreds of thousands of deities in this world.

Also, what is the purpose of life?
To achieve one's True Will

[call_me_scar]

Nope as we have no reason to believe in that also being brought up to believe in something doesn't make it true hell what if someone was brought up to believe in multiple gods what then. As for the purpose of life I'd say it's whatever you make it to be do you want to be a good husband and make yourself a loving family then go for it, if you are gay and don't want a kid to adopt then hey go for it enjoy your life we have no promises of an after life so have a good time today

[genericname85]

i don't believe a god exists. and beyond that, i actually believe that whether there's a god or not is inconsequential to our life.

[Asad1ONE1]

So last choice then? No one on Earth should choose the 1st choice. It's illogical.

[genericname85]

I said i don't believe a God exists In my very first sentence.

[genericname85]

actually answer 3 is the most illogcial one. cause if you "know" something is true, you don't have to believe it. like i don't "believe" 2+2=4. i know it. when there's a method to "know", "believe" is pointless.

[Asad1ONE1]

I meant to say that if anyone doesn't believe in God, answer 4 is logical. While 1 is completely illogical.

[Asad1ONE1]

2 or 3 is logical for anyone who believes.

[genericname85]

why is 1 illogical if one doesn't believe in god?

[Asad1ONE1]

Because there is no proof of No God.

[Asad1ONE1]

Speaking of proof of God, there is. Go search for it.

[genericname85]

you can not proof the "nonexistence" of anything. proof unicorns don't exist. or bigfoot. that's why we can only accept as true which can be shown to be true by means of demonstration, correlation or experimental tesing.

if you accept something to exist simply on behalf of the fact that it's nonexistence can't be proven, then how do you distinguish reality from fiction?

[Asad1ONE1]

Huh? Yes you can wtf?

[Asad1ONE1]

You have to have proof of something to non-exist before you can just worldly claim "there was no this or that".

[Asad1ONE1]

*wildly

[genericname85]

how do you proof something does not exist?

[genericname85]

pro tip: you can't. that's why we don't claim that something exists before we can proof it's existence. cause we can't proof "non existence"

[genericname85]

you can proof the absence of something like a guppy in an aquarium. by looking at the aquarium and not finding a guppy in it. but that only works in confined and defined spaces that you have the ability of observing in full. otherwise called exhaustive insection. for imaginary concepts like god (or unicorns or bigfoot or the yeti) you can not possibly inspect all the areas where they "might be" so you can never proof that they do not exist. simply cause you can not exaustively inspect all the "areas" they "could be in".

[genericname85]

so if you're able to tell me where exactly god is and we can go and look, then we could proof gods non existence. but since religious delusion always appeal to some impossibly to inspect nonsense, you can never proof that he doesn't exist. that's the trick behind it.

[Asad1ONE1]

I know you believe in DEATH ☠️. It happens all the time...

How DARE to even question (yet alone deny) the existence of GOD? ↗

[genericname85]

no i don't "believe" in death. i know deathis a thing. i'm drawing a line between "knowing" and "believing". but you didn't answer the qeustion. how do you proof something doesn't exist?

[Asad1ONE1]

It's the same thing bro

[Asad1ONE1]

You seem to be overanalyzing all this.

[Asad1ONE1]

My recommendation to you is to read the Holy Quran. It is called the "Supreme Argument".

It is called that for a reason. Because there is no argument for TRUTH.

But the catch?

You gotta read it.

And in order to read it, you gotta take the time out.

The problem is that there are so many distractions in our world (social media, mass media, chores, work, hobbies, etc.)

But no excuses.

For your own benefit.

Not mine.

[genericname85]

So you don't have an argument. I knew it.

[genericname85]

I gave you 3 attempts now to explain how you'd proof something doesn't exist and every time you sent me some source that has nothing to do with my question and basically told me that you're right, i just gotta delude myself using the material you use to delude yourself, which doesn't work for me cause I'm not deluded. That's all there's to it.

[Asad1ONE1]

What proof do you need? Physical proof?

[Asad1ONE1]

I have to tell you, as a believer in God, He has His ways. I had my doubts too sometimes, until I eventually did what I'm recommending you to do. But He hasn't revealed himself directly for a reason. The proof of God comes from a spiritual connection, not through our 5 senses.

You have to put in the work to earn your belief. Clicking the link I posted above is a start.

The Holy Quran will help you to believe. When things start to get better for you, there's your proof.

[Asad1ONE1]

I can't do that for you. Only you can. And I see no reason why you wouldn't want to put in the work. Why you wouldn't want to go on a conquest to discover God and whether He exists.

[Asad1ONE1]

As to "how you'd prove something doesn't exist"? Didn't you already claim that God doesn't exist without proof He doesn't exist?

How do you know what lies in the deep reaches of the universe? How do you know of the unknown? Until you put in the work, just say "you're not convinced God Exists"

I'm not blindly saying God does exist. Because I know He does.

[genericname85]

I don't need to proof the non existence of god. People claim without evidence that God exists. Claims that have been made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Maybe it helps if i explain it in legal terms. we assume Innocence until proven guilty right? Same for evidence of existence. You have to proof it exists before i accept it to exist. If someone can proof god exists, i will accept that.

By the way this is a very good tip for you on life generally. If you want to find truth, try your hardest to proof it wrong. If you can not proof it wrong, only then can you find truth. If. you try proving things to be right, you're most likely gonna end up in delusion. I can even demonstrate to you why this is tight. Should j do it?

[Asad1ONE1]

I get your analogy. Ok so same thing though. "Not convinced" until you prove He does or doesn't exist.

[Asad1ONE1]

You do need to prove the non-existence before you say...

"I know God doesn't exist for sure".

[Asad1ONE1]

Likewise, you need to prove the existence before you say...

"I know God Exists for sure".

Which I've already done.

[genericname85]

well in order to be "not convinced", the evidence would have to be terrible the the point where i'm not convinced. but there's simply no evidence. just empty claims. so i will keep claiming god doesn't exists till proven otherwise. which is the only logical position to have, since "non existence" can not be proven in spaces or perimeters that aren't fully explorable.

that's why i can say batman doesn't exist. or unicorns. they are fictional characters just like god is. and just like god there's no evidence. if you wanna say "i think badman exists", then what do you base that on? it's futile, cause he just doesn't right? things that don't exist can only be claimed to exist. things that do exist can be proven to exist. so this is why i'm right in saying god doesn't exists. cause nothing exists unless it's proven to exist. that's the only possible way to distinguish fiction from reality.

[Asad1ONE1]

Yes "claiming" is the key 🗝️ word here.

[genericname85]

yes. it is. existence of god was "claimed" never proven.

[Asad1ONE1]

Well my recommendation remains to study the Holy Quran. You really have nothing to lose. We all gotta go lights out anyway.

[genericname85]

you think that if you wanted to find out whether superman was real or not, reading more superman comics would be the way to find the solution? no my friend. that's not how it works.

[genericname85]

and yes. i have everyhing to lose. if i follow delusion, i lose my grip on reality.

[Asad1ONE1]

LOL!!! Yes that makes sense from that perspective. But I used to think just like you until I did what I did. As sane as that analogy may sound, this really isn't that simple. I used to think why God hadn't revealed himself until I did what I did.

[Asad1ONE1]

You might go on to say I am "brainwashed", but I think I'm intelligent enough, as well as any human being, to not be easily so.

[genericname85]

well study the other religious books as well as you studied quran.

[Asad1ONE1]

I have studied yes. Also, you must know that there are statistics that prove Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. There have been many YouTube videos and articles about atheists and non-Muslims, and even people that hated Muslims that accepted and converted to Islam.

Concerning God, here bro I recommend these two links when you get the time. Short reads...

www.alislam.org/.../

https://www.alislam.org/articles/existence-of-god/

[genericname85]

dude just for shits and giggles i opened one of your links. and the very first headline i read: "All RELIGIONS BELIEVE IN GOD" is already wrong. this is hilarious.

besides. a delusion being the fastest growing delusion doesn't say anything about the truth of it at all.

[genericname85]

FYI buddha is not a "god". buddha just litterally means "the awakened". it has nothing to do with any god at all. and the fact that this is litterally the firtst thing i see in one of the "oh so good sources" that you gave me, pretty much tells me the quality of the rest of it. it's complete garbage.

[TheUniqueOne96]

I am not sure of the existence of The One God.

[LiamJHayden]

I believe because it makes sense to me that someone or something must have started everything at some point somewhere. Basically the idea of ex nihilo nihil fit.

[clampfan101]

I’m a Christian. (Evangelist to be precise.)

[strateguy632]

i believe in God,

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes, just one.
