Does God Exist?

[Technologic]

as opposed to believing in a god that doesnt exist.

*cough* Christianity

I do not believe in God. It is extremely unreal that such a powerful supernatural should exist. Personally, I think that religious people use God as a scapegoat and blame God for wanting to punish them whenever they make errors of any sort. Neither do I really understand the logic of praying. What does praying do? I see people at my school say that they'll pray for each other all the time, but what's the point? Will praying help one reach their goal or earn them an achievement? The answer is, simply, no. If praying really did help, then anybody can achieve anything without putting in effort. Instead, they can just simply pray whilst others have to put in masses of effort. And what would God do if the favourite sports teams of two people play a match and those two people both pray for their teams to win? What would God decide to do? Surely, as a supernatural that a lot of people on Earth worship and portray as a just and powerful being, God will not deceive either of them.

Nobody can ever prove whether or not God exists. It's just up to one's own belief.

I don't see the logic.

Is the video supposed to be telling me that the eye is so complicated, someone (god) must have made it.

But then, if a god can make something so magnificent like the eye, why didn't he do it with everything else?

They don't blame god how about you look into things before you start throwing around comments. Christians believe everything happens for a reason and god has a plan etc etc blaming god would be against everything they believe in.

[Imp!]

Okay that video has nothing to do with god, just genetics. I believe in god, what I dont believe in is

Gays go to hell
a 7 headed monstor will kill us all
God will create another world
Everything is controlled by God
God made the world in seven days

This is mostly the old testemant that my "super christian" friends believe in, whereas Im catholic and follow the new one x

Most christians actually believe in free will lol

i hate how people say "the body is so perfect, god must have made it."

the body isnt perfect. explain this one to me: why are our mouths where they are? why would making the the tube where we breath the same tube that food goes down (thus the possibility of choking) be a good idea? wouldnt it make sense to be right where are stomachs are? why does it have to go down a long tube? oh, and why do we have two kidneys and two lungs but not two hearts? and why do we have a pinky toe if we certainly dont need it?

not saying this proves anything but i think the argument that the human body is perfect is just stupid.

You are a christian if you believe in Christ or any of the stories within the Old Testement, New Testement or otherwise.

If people did science at higher levels they would have it explained in a much more complex but concise way.

I do A-level chemistry, and while it is true the big bang is just a theory, I remain convinced that there is more truth in that theory than in any other that religion has to offer. Matter cannot be created or destoryed. It is impossible. Whatever existed now must have existed before just in a different form a.k.a. The dust before the big bang.

Regardless of creation theories and theorists though... the main problem I have with the theory of God creating the world is that it has a sudden effect of people not looking for any evidence and just accepting it. Due to basic human nature, people need to know why things happen, and the people who believe in God creating the universe are just those who have not bothered to look beyond what was taught to them as a child and what they have to believe in because they went to church and all that intimidation of the holy symbolism just makes them brainwashed into believing what they can't explain.

I actually doubt many true christians know anything about other religious theories on creation because they just accepted the first theory they heard and moved on.

And to the people who are talking of religion being a way for people to have faith in something, then really shouldn't they have more faith in themselves and not some 'spirit' who's only evidence of existing is a hugley old text which has been changed so much to suit the old monarchs of the 15th-18th century that it shouldn't even be considered primary evidence anymore.

And while this belief may have some 'benefits' as some have suggested, religions like christianity end up causing more hatred than they do anything else. Recently the pope just announced to people that people contract Aids from using condoms... You can't just ignore basic scientific knowlegde of how infections are contracted and their prevention by stating that God does not want people to use condoms and therefore those people get STIs.

It's a cop out theory by people who can't comprehend evolution.

lol I keep repeating myself but religion did offer the big bang theory. It was done by a catholic priest as a scientific means of explaining how god created the universe and, while rejected at first, has come to be hijacked by atheists. Hence as a standalone theory the big bang is illogical and sounds made up, e.g. how universal laws are disregarded and only come into place when it's convenient. Being dogmatic about the infallibility of science is almost as bad as believing that religion is infallible. It's only the human perception based on what we know. Aliens could visit us tomorrow and prove most of our science wrong.
