Do you believe in God?

[Nester6]

Born and raised Hardcore Catholic. Did my communion and everything. I'm proud to say I consider myself Agnostic. Basically I don't know and I'm not gonna worry myself with religion or any superstitious crap. I'm just gonna be a good person let the rest take care of itself.

Your better off with your handle "Gianna Is My God!" I know her fucking tits are heaven!!!

 

[Nester6]

They're just phrases, like "son of a bitch" or "fucking A". I say "God damnit", "Jesus Christ" and "thank God" a lot, but I'm not religious at all. People use those phrases because they're commonly said and they have become part of our natural vocabulary.

Agreed many people use those godamn phrases out of pure fucking habit!

Actually ...

Actually, there are some of us who believe God and She is the summation of every woman's beauty as One. I know She must have something like Gianna's S-curve of a perfect hourglass figure, even before we look at the meaty, natural breasts.

Yes!!! She is the closest thing humanly close to a god.

Curious - since no-one apparently "truly" believes in God, why do people say "Jesus Christ" in the most vicious way possible for every conceivable situation? And "omg?" (Which as of late has now become "omfg" as people become more brazen?)

If people didn't believe in God or Jesus they wouldn't say those words or phrases. Why not curse Zeus, Buddha, and many other "gods?"
Why not substitute George Bush?

Obviously people still need to curse God for some reason.
Whether they are "common" phrases or not it doesn't matter.

What?

Just because you say "God damnit" or "Jesus Christ" when something bad happens doesn't mean that you believe in God, or any form of. People also say things like "for Pete's sake", but that doesn't mean they know Pete or who he even is. They're just expressions that have become a part of our common, everyday language, and people use them just as they would use other common, everyday phrases.

Also, when somebody says "God damnit" or "thank God", who says that they are referring to the Christian form of God? Maybe they are saying "god damnit", with a lower case "G", using the word "god" as a representation of Zeus, Buddha, etc.

:2 cents:

 

[Will E Worm]

ChefChiTown, just no. :nono:

Why not curse another "god" by their name?

Because they all know deep down the other "gods" are not real and never were.

SIGH, like the Christians "God" is so real and believable? :dunno:

oh really there is nothing in this world without reasons and came from nothing im engineer and know gravity more than u and first law in engineering "nothing came from nothing" like any action should have reaction
ask ur self who made it .......who made first cell in this life

The idea that we know God exists because we are here is a fallacy and in any case begs the question "where did God come from then?"

The fact is that we and the rest of the Universe ARE here , where from and how is as yet unsolved but here we are.The story of the Creation is simply a primitive way of trying to understand this.

The idea of an all powerful Being is logically self defeating.Why should He set things in motion and give humans free will when He knows what's going to happen anyway? And if He wants us all to believe in Him then He could have arranged this too.

I once visited a shrine.There was a plaque on the wall giving thanks to God for the recovery of their daughter after she had been run over by a bus.God would have been a little more worthy of the thanks if He had stopped the bus in time!

but they believe there is a Pete

No I don't believe in god! and if I were to start saying why I don't believe their is a god! I would have all the "I BELIEVE" in god (sheep) hopelessly and endlessly trying to prove why they think god exists and I would continue to insist god DOESN'T exist! so lets leave it as a simple NO!!! :eek:

I dont think your thinking about how were are influenced during childhood, when were all young were told a wonderful story about (to quote George Carlin) an invisible man in the sky,who watches everything we do and if were good and believe in him were going to a magical place until the e9nd of time but if we dont were going to go to a place with fire etc etc etc you see how its designed to control you), what we are taught when we are young has a huge effect on us as adults. So phrases "God Damnit" or "Jesus Christ!!!" are not underhanded remarks that actually mean the person believes its just a phrase that has been said within society for a long long time.

We dont curse Zues, Buddah, Allah because we have not been brought up with those "Gods" if we had been then who knows, but as I and you have not been told the magical story of Allah as a child and we have not heard people around us say things similar to that.

Our society has alot to do with the way we act and speak, and if me saying "Fuck Jesus!!!" over and over again is just another form of belief then thats an extreamly strange way for me to show my love for our savoiur.


One more time?? Yeah why not: FUCK JESUS!!!!

That's a :lame: excuse. All kinds of other "gods" are represented in America.

Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Shiva, you name the "god" and they have followers in this country. So, that's not an excuse.

When you curse God and Jesus that doesn't mean you're showing them admiration. It's blasphemy

I'm not telling anyone to believe what I believe. Everyone has the right to worship at the alter they so choose.
That's a Constitutional right.

But, when you seek to silence someone else, you will eventually silence yourself. That's why everyone should leave everyone else alone.

And, learn to agree to disagree.

I have to say I agree with most of your post! not saying I disagree with anything, but like everybody in this community should know about me is I believe god is a farce! and that is my right like you stated! but what I can't stand! I personally deplore the very words of people who have faith or believe in god, the gullible (sheep) as I like to call them, cuz they insistently and unforgivingly try to convince and convert me / us who know the truth to their way of thinking!

I have my opinions and my less than hospitable terms for believers, but I don't constantly subject them to my ideology of the issue and try and undo their faith!! cuz 1 day he will be called upon in that believers hour or minute of need and be shunned by the truth! so I really don't care people haven't gotten the memo yet! its sad, but its true!

but they believe there is a Pete

There's no such thing as "Pete". It's a meaningless, random name that is used in a common expression. Nobody "believes" in Pete...they just use the expression.

What about when someone says, "he's got the life of Riley"...??? Just because they use the name "Riley", does that mean they have some deep rooted belief in Riley? No. It's just part of a common expression that people use.

I dont think your thinking about how were are influenced during childhood, when were all young were told a wonderful story about (to quote George Carlin) an invisible man in the sky,who watches everything we do and if were good and believe in him were going to a magical place until the e9nd of time but if we dont were going to go to a place with fire etc etc etc you see how its designed to control you), what we are taught when we are young has a huge effect on us as adults. So phrases "God Damnit" or "Jesus Christ!!!" are not underhanded remarks that actually mean the person believes its just a phrase that has been said within society for a long long time.

I agree with that. When we're growing up, we adapt to our surroundings and mimic those who are close to us (AKA - our parents). In respect to phrases that we use, we get most of those from our parents. For example, my dad uses the expression "six or one half dozen or the other" quite often. I have rarely heard anyone else use that expression, but since my dad says it a lot, I say it a lot too. The same goes for expressions like "God damnit", etc.

We dont curse Zues, Buddah, Allah because we have not been brought up with those "Gods" if we had been then who knows, but as I and you have not been told the magical story of Allah as a child and we have not heard people around us say things similar to that.

WEW, name one person who currently worships Zeus...

You can't. Why? Because BlueBalls is right. Now-a-days, nobody is brought up to worship some ancient religion that, for lack of a better description, has been "dead" for quite some time. This is why people don't say "Zeus damnit" or "thank Zeus". Instead, they say "God damnit" and "thank God".

"Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Shiva, you name the "god" and they have followers in this country."

Where did I say Zeus in my last comment?

I'm sure there are still a few that still worship Zeus.

I know there are still people that worship Set and Odin.
