Do you belive in god?

[[Chris]]

or the "leader" of your religion

with me its, theres the part of me which thinks/believes he [god] is real because of my religion (christian), but then theres the scientific part, where it proves someone like god couldnt exist, although someone called jesus DID live 2007 years ago

So what do you feel about this?

[Lilux]

I suppose so, but I'm not like "praise the lord" to everyone i see.

Im having troubles believing in Jesus.

[FlyingJesus]

I believe that there is (or was if it was a being or beings with finite existence) something, whether in the singular or plural, higher than us. I don't know what this is likely to be, nor whether he/she/it/they still exist/live today, but I am almost certain that no Earthly religion is true in all essence. Perhaps in parts they contain bits of truth, but I highly doubt that documents from the time at which humans knew to read and write could chronicle the doings of a god or gods, as if I were a god I wouldn't want to have to wait billions of years of existence just so I could get some bloke to scribble my teachings on mouldy parchment.

[kasi]

no .

[uh huh her]

i don't.

[RedStratocas]

I wouldnt deny it, but since there is no solid proof, I simply dont choose to believe.

Eventually I think noone will believe...

[FlyingJesus]

In reference to people who believe themselves to be religious, I know it's not my say how you should worship your chosen god or gods, but people who say they are Christians but don't believe all of the Bible or whatever are surely not really religious, seeing as how they defy the truth of their own sacred texts, which are supposedly inspired by their God Himself.

Evolution ftw **** god

But anyone could have made up that Jesus crap.

[T0M]

yes i believe in god

Personally I don't know if there's a higher being, but there's no solid evidence either way. However, the amount of knowledge humans actually know is incredibly small -- We know nothing of 99.9% of the universe. Science has evidence for evolution and all that, but they can't explain how life began, one of the biggest questions asked in things relating to both science and religion. So far, none of their ideas have convinced me, because all of them are theories-- and only that. There's no actual proof for any of them.

In the past, the only thing that religion has created is hate & war, so I don't believe in "worship." Christians, Muslims, Jews, and most other religions all have incredibly violent histories, all because of a few stories and so-called "holy" books that we don't even know are true.

I don't believe in god, and i don't believe in heaven or hell.

It's just a load of rubbish if you ask me, i mean, how could anyone believe that there is someone up in "heaven" watching us? Don't you think, he could try and stop things happening, so the earth was a more peaceful place & stuff?

[Charley]

I haven't really got an opinion.

[benjamin]

n o

[summer]

no i dont.

Don't you think, he could try and stop things happening, so the earth was a more peaceful place & stuff?
This is quite a stupid & often used 'reason' as to why there isn't a God. Since 'God' gave everyone free will then why would he interfere with a few things? If you look at it in the Buddhist approach then those bad things that happen are a result of someone doing something bad in the first place.

Myself, I am pretty much agnostic. I don't know whether there is God(s) or not so I just choose to look at both sides of the story. However I'm not going to take the pee out of someone for believing in a religion, because they have faith - respect.

I'm atheist I think it is when you don't believe in anything.

[FlyingJesus]

Who says that a god or gods have to be peaceful and friendly? If I was a god I'd use my creation to test out how stuff works, see what certain mixes of DNA and such can do. Bit of a laugh really, y'know?

I don't know if it applies to everyone, but I know for sure that (on more than one occasion) I've made something just to destroy it.

edit: @Hazel: Atheism is the belief that there are no divine beings, so it is sort of a religious belief in itself
