Do you believe in God?

[FlyingJesus]

I noticed how you varied the use of upper and lower case G's in your previous post. Am I right to assume that it is only an upper case if you are actually referring to a good directly?

Absolutely, God with an upper case G (God) should only ever be used to reference the deity of the 3 main (supposedly) monotheistic religions - Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and of them most people use it to refer specifically to the Christian deity, which although technically the same as the other two differs in stating Jesus as divine rather than merely a prophet - though never doubt that he is shown as an extremely powerful and important prophet in both other religions, just not as the true messiah. To reference a god with a lower case g can technically means any deific being, even down to the point that I often refer to myself as a god, although it's often difficult to work out on the forum since a lot of these kids don't use upper case on anything other than anger to be safe, any religious discussion ought really to set some sort of limit on what religions may be discussed, as totally open-ended ones are fascinating if debated properly but merely frustrating if not. Let's be honest, if people have so secondhand and uneducated a view of the one religion which dominates our culture, what use can most of them be in a discussion involving the entire spectrum of deific debate?

No, I think it's all pretty ridiculous.

I dont really believe in all this god stuff, as I believe in the Scientific theory of how the earth was created but I think there could've been someone called Jesus or whatnot but like less powerful, as I'm sure we've all tried to duplicate 1 fish into 1,000 fishes or 1 loaf of bread to 1,000 loaves of bread :L

lol i think part of the point of karma is it requires no god. i dont believe in karma either, ive seen too many terrible people in the world have nothing bad ever happen to them, and so many good people who get cancer. id LIKE to believe in karma, though.

This thread is SOOOO FUNNNY because of the ignorance that has already been mentioned.

By the way Jesus did exist (there are records) and whether he performed miracles is your opinion.

no i dont, theres just no way that a 'god' could have created the world etc when theres so much evidence against it (thats just one example)

so 100% no

And what evidence is that? The big bang theory and evolution? please...

I personally dont believe in God - because the bible says " whoever believes in him will never die" so how come people who go to church and do believe in him die?

Off Topic: try this out... iGod

That is the blondest post I think I've ever read. Seriously you must think about things before posting.

Yes millions of people around the world are all stupid and ridiculous - nice going.

So yeah I do believe in God, and I know most of you in this thread don't, but there are way too many things to have just "happened" on accident, we are so intelligent, we're all different, none of us are the same. Are you saying that happened on "accident"?

the way you phrase it just feeds your ideals. science and theory dont claim everything to be an "accident," if anything more of a series of events that could have gone billions of different ways. and what are you comparing our intelligence to? cause i see incredibly stupid people constantly. we are all different because we all have different genes, different experiences, different surroundings, it only makes perfect sense, yeah? it's not an "accident," it's the result of us all having a different life context.

i went to church every sunday most of my life until i was 13 then i only went to mass on christmas eve, i never believed in 'Him' at all until my gran (the only really religious family member) died when i was 15 now i do :// oh well she always told me to believe rather than to doubt

There is no proof that a 'God' ever existed. It is a way to keep children in line and provides an answer for the emotionally unstable. The Bible only shows the parts it would want, so is one of the greatest works of fiction. For example Christianity wasn't even invented until Jesus actually died and has been suggested that Jesus led a Jewish life with 7 siblings, a wife and child. All of those the Bible fail to mention because it goes against their beliefs (even though Jesus' teachings totally contradicted the Christian church).

Game over. We die in the ground.
