Do you believe in god?

Believers are not really believing in heaven.  If they did they would want to die asap.
But instead, they pray for long and healthy lives :-)  How ironic?

ISIS fighters got the true faith, they blow themselves up believing they are going to heaven.

Now, that is faith.  To die for something they read in the book, and in some cases, they cannot even read
so I guess someone told them they will be going to heaven, Allah this and that, evil West, 60 virgins, etc.

Well for me i am believing in god which is only jesus and the other gods i think they are not different it is a nature of human that they are believing for their culture like other religion that almost all animals are their gods..

God must be written with the prefix letters are large or have to use capital letters, so you have to type / write of God, not god, with a big G, not g.

Why must it be written that way? What happens if I don't? What if I'm referring to a mythological false god such as Zeus, Susanoo-no-Mikoto or Jesus? Do they need to be capitalised?

God tells us to pray, in the Bible.

All believers have weak faith. But atheists only have stupidity.

You mean 40+ authors of the Bible, plus thousands of other editors tell you to pray...

No. I mean that those who DO tell us to pray, do so at God's directing.

That's what I've asked BADecker and have not received a proper answer... If he's already accepted jesus and god as a savior, can he go to Syria or some other war zone or thug, ghetto area and try fighting crime and evil people, therefore getting himself killed and he'd go to heaven, right?

Yeah, most believers are not completely crazy, most go along with what the holy books say because of their culture, family etc.,
but they don't really believe any of it.

Some are faithful (aka bat shit crazy) and kill themselves.

Actually, atheists have faith. They believe in a lot of stupid things, but not in the God that holds their lives in His hands.

Actually, it's a crime when you reject God. I'm fighting crime right here. Others are doing it in the Ghetto and Syria.

Wow, you courageous keyboard warrior you.  

Edit: Your god must be a very weak one if it cannot fight it's own battles. What sort of waste of space god is that?

I dont believe in someone who people are calling god and that he is looking at us and like this stuff.

But it is nearly for 100% sure, that there are things, that are a trillion times smarter that we are,
there must something extist that make this one universe, in that we are living.

Because like every theorie is saying, nothing can build by itself.

That's the thinking I like to have, there somewhere out there there is a species that has developed technology that's capable of interstellar traveling. Also, maybe we're the descendants of that race, who knows.

No. I mean that those who DO tell us to pray, do so at God's directing.

How do you know that those people got directions from God?  Because they said it?

Why does there have to be a limit like a trillion times smarter? Why not a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, times smarter? Where is the dividing line that turns some being who is this smart into God in relation to us? Aren't you essentially admitting to God?

After all, no holy book anywhere suggests the depth of how great God is. Consider the word "almighty." "Almighty" suggests infinite strength. But what does this actually mean? It is unfathomable, just like a being would be if he were a trillion or more times smarter than we are.

Not because they said it only. But because the Holy Spirit resonates with my spirit in ways that firmly tell me that they are correct.

Yes, but my Holy Noodlage came to me in my dreams, it told me you started bullshitting.

Well, you have a start there. Now investigate the religions to see if one of them is way ahead of all the rest, and why.

Pastafarianism, because it believes in evolution, it mocks those who believe that an almighty maker has anything to do with the Bible, Quran and Torah.

Also, if God is almighty
Can he create a rock so heavy, even he can't lift it?

If he can, he is not almighty
If he can't, he is not almighty

It's a paradox, since God cannot be almighty
Nothing in the universe, is almighty
