God?

[Marvelo]

Well, you didnt really leave us much lean way on this. I dont exactly know if I believe in god or not. I believe in evolution not the whole Adam and Eve thing... So, I guess it reallt depends on what kind of mood Im in.

[Ciaran]

Hmmz i think it would of been better for me to add more options for eg are you religious? or evolution?... i guess that religion mentor is talking about is like prdistant... its religion to not belive in god... i think

[Spectate]

Hmm this is a tough one, there seems to be a religion for virtually anything that you believe so you always seem to be labelled something. I believe that most of todays bad problems such as terrorism would not be here if religion did not exist.

all my life i have belived in god, but its now when my mind is developing a greater understanding of the world that i have started questioning my beleaf. if there are so many religions, some belive in 1 god, and some belive in many, if one is right, which one? have we all been following a path created by some madman in a cave? i still am unsure about where i stand on this subject...........

[Ciaran]

Well think about it... if you lived in deep poverty and had no food or water... but you still had a hope that if you die you would be going to a better place... that would keep me going i know that... but i dont belive in god... but i can understand why belivers do what they do... its just a signal of hope...

[Mendonky]

hope it may be, but it is false hope all the way. why would such a superior and kind being of power let such a thing happen in the first place? or is it that there is no one there at all to help us. this puzzels me, something definately debate worthy

[Ciaran]

but some belive god planned a life for them since they were born so they hope for a better day... and false hope is what keeps people from keep trying and keep fighting... its a very powerfull thing...

[Mendonky]

i dunt like the idea that i have no control over my life, why would he/she torture their "children" in such a way as depriving them of food ect?

Personally I don't believe in God, the Bible has been proven wrong scientifically.

We all evolved from Bacteria, there's no such thing as "bacteria" in the Bible.

How can we all have evolved from Adam and Eve? How can the world have been created in seven days? It's not scientifically possible.

Ok - As a strict Roman Catholic I know most of that.

The story of Adam and Eve in Genesis is SYMBOLISING the days of creation. Everyone knows that God did not make the Earth in 7 days. Evolution is the scientific reason for creation, but God could have created evolution.

Someone is up there. When we were on pilgrimage to Lourdes with our RE Teacher, her Rosary beads were plastic, but while she prayed and held them tight, they turned Gold.

I dont know i think people belive that control is a bad thing and they feel insecure having no control over their lives. people who have problems and are "belivers" probably think they are paying for something they have done in a past life like the buddhists do... and doing one thing in a life is rewarded in the next...
