Do you believe in God?

[Legzman]

from "cult" off slayers new album-

religion is hate
religion is fear
religion is war
religion is rape
religion's obscene
religion's a whore

makes sense to me.

I'm not religious unless you call following John Lennons ideals a religion.
But to give balance.......Religion is full of Human Kindness too,
Its also a great comfort to millions of people and does alot in communities for the elderly etc.
I hope theres a god my own self logic says to me there isn't but i hope there is as I would like to think there is a reason to be given life.:angels:

i know that there is some good in religion. not for me, but for others. too many people use god as a reason and an excuse. i think thats what slayer meant. :dunno:

 

[cabey]

Oh i know what he meant, and i agree 100% i was just playing Devils advocate

 

[om3ga]

Funny, I was wondering if God believed in me.....

3 days ago my brother was diagnosed with lung cancer, he's 35 and quit smoking 10 months ago.
I see people at my work come in who do nothing more than waste space on the planet and contribute NOTHING to anyone.
My brother has raised his only daughter by himself for the last 15 years and has never done anything wrong and has never been arrested.
He doesnt drink and hasnt in about 14 years.
He might have 3 or 4 weeks at best to live.
God??
Sorry, i dont buy that lie anymore.
Faith and Religion are two different things.
I have faith in him to stay strong and fight whats eating him up inside.
I had a thought to finish here, but emotion has gotten the better of me, more later.
Sorry.

I do believe that there's is something watching over us and keep the world turning, but it's my own personal God and not the God's of religion. Too many people classify God under Christians/Catholics and none of whom are perfect groups of people. I think we all know in our hearts what is right and wrong and don't need religion to blind you. Just trust in something to look after you because what do you have to loose?

 

[BlueBalls]

No I do not.

From an atheist point of view what you have to lose is power and responsibility.

Seneca the Younger 4 b.c.- 65 a.d. Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Epicurus Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Steven Weinberg With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Napoleon Bonaparte Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet

Thomas Jefferson I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.

John Adams, 2nd President of the United States The Government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion.

Obviously, my answer is NO.

God is love, it is man that is hate. God doesn't do any of the bad things that happen in this it's all man!

I got one question to all the people that believe in God. If God is so powerful and great why did he create lucifer the fallen angel which God would have know he would have turned? Kinda something to think about. btw i believe in God but I dont believe that he controls us or that God interacts in our lives at all. I belive we have free will to do whatever we want to do and God wont do anything to us until we die. As for the bible I dont know if it is true or not. but i dont believe in the bible yet i still believe in God.

 

[Fresno]

Why did God create Lucifer? God created Lucifer to test us. To see if we could overcome evil.

God doesn't want to control us, God wants us to make are own way in life!:2 cents:

fresno do you believe in the bible??

Yes and no! I mean it was written by man so not all is true, but for the most part yes!

 

[Jason z]

yea I think alot of it is false.. Alot of the bible doesnt make sense with science. Another thing about the bible is the story at sodom and gomorah where God struck down the people that had sinned.. Yet God doesnt do that to us today. I dont believe in the God that kills people just for sinning. That's just my point of view.
