Do you believe in god?

[BADecker]

God must not believe in himself since he created me in his own image :-)  He is probably an Atheist himself.

But seriously it is not funny to make fun of religious freaks.

They are little children mentally, you know running around screaming "I'm a truck, I'm a truck...".  All you can do when they scream "God made us in his image..." is
to say, "Well, that is nice, now go brush your teeth and go to bed."

We are definitely not born the same.

Thanks, again, for helping to prove that God exists, by saying that He doesn't, and yet you have no proof that He doesn't. And you can't even begin to refute the science that proves God DOES exist:

A way to rebut the links..... hmmm...... Oh I know..... YOU wrote them.

That's enough for anyone!

The way to rebut your so-called rebuttal. Oh, I know. You wrote it.

GOD is energy. Thats it. Nothing more nothing less.

Religions are just a playground for imagination created tales and legends. There are no gods just energy and matter.

Perhaps BADlogic fancies himself as one of The Chuckle Brothers,
He's certainly providing us with some comedy entertainment.

Of course I do. For our existence is one proof that there is a Supreme Being. No human being can create the whole universe but only God. We may not see our creator but as long as we have faith in Him we will be able to feel his very own prescence and his love for us all.

This is just basically another random existential thought. How exactly it is to be 'agnostic'. Meaning one who believes in a god but is just not believing of its names and labels, practically made by religion.

Are you sure it was Him not Her?  Why you think it was a person with a dick?

Because you were created in his image, perhaps?

What about crippled babies born with the damaged spinal cord or cancer?  Were they also created in his image?
His creation?

Got me thinking about this as well. How are we so sure it was a He not a Her.
But regarding the 'created in his image'. I'm sure the reference is a context of being human. Not being human in itself. Context of being a human which is a body with a spirit and a will. Not just the human form.

If religious people's faith was so strong in God's eternally plan, why do they only thank God for the good things in life?

Why do we never hear them say....

Thank you God for helping loss my job and my house getting repossessed.
Thank you God for that car crash.
Thank you God for cancer.
Thank you God for earthquakes.
Thank you God for blessing us with pedophiles.
Thank you God for mutated conjoined twins.
Thank you God for that chemcial weapon hitting it target.

Seems to me people don't have much faith in God as they make out.

[PlanetOfBets]

Start where the human ego ends; Although it is not related to it, god is egotism. It is the lack of man. It is the remaining number left from the part of man and nature. It is out of the question that man can not find it in person. Every human fetishist; Although it is not related to them, god is fetish.

[ChinkyEyes]

No I do not believe in a god. I believe our ancestors worshipped nature itself for giving them life and saw the sun as god.

I also don't believe in God. Still as I understand our ancestors who were ignorant and could believe in fairy tales, but those who in our time believes in fairy tales I don't understand. They probably didn't do well in school.

I don't think proper education will help. You still have tons of kids who get brainwashed by their parents to believe in it.
Religion itself is not always bad the church near my house helps poor people all the time. Religion should imo move forward as technology is moving forward, religion is holding people back in their way of thinking.

[hexitor]

Yes, I believe in god, I think that there is a strength and a god above the earth. However I don't believe in the Church of the people because for me it has to take advantage faith to be made dee the money as for example for the case of the indulgences.

[dippididodaday]

The other day I called God to have a little chat and catch up a bit on how things were going, but he was having a fit you can't believe. Someone must have ruined his salad badly or something. It looked like he was having a coronary. Not wanting to ruin his day even more I carefully approached him and inquired tactically what exactly the problem was. Apparently it came about that God has to share his throne with the Devil. Can you believe that? Yes I know, I was also totally blown away. Somehow the Devil will miraculously be expelled from the clutches of Hell itself and join God in Heaven with him on his throne forever. I just hope God doesn't fall into an irredeemable depression for the remainder of his days. Maybe it will all turn out alright. After all, it's only a couple minor adjustments God has to make to accommodate the Devil. He is not all together that much different from God himself.

You're forgetting that Christianity is polytheistic. The deity that lords over them with an angry face they call God. God doesn't do the dirty work himself. He sends a friend request on their behalf to the other powerful deity, the devil, and causes bad stuff to happen.

Anything good that happens = the lord God

Anything bad that happens = the lord devil

There is more then one interpretation of Satan. Below is another interpretation.

I make no claims that this interpenetration is better than any other. However, all monotheistic traditions agree on the concept of God. If the idea of Satan is bothering you one strategy is to learn about God first and figure out your opinions on Satan later.

http://www.jewishanswers.org/ask-the-rabbi-2566/the-jewish-view-of-satan/?p=2566

in Judaism Satan is an agent of G-d, created by G-d for a specific purpose, and something very good. Satan is simply an agent of G-d, just as all the other angels are simply agents of G-d...

If we take a look at Isaiah 45:7, we see that Hashem is the creator of everything, as the text says, “bringing forth light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil, I am G-d who does all these things.” In the Jewish bible, everything is under the jurisdiction of G-d and under His power – all forces, even evil forces. Everything comes from G-d, He created everything, good and evil. That being the case, Satan is not a rival of G-d, he is a messenger of G-d and unable to do anything outside of G-d’s will.

In contrast to Christian literature, where Satan is understood to be an evil force, the enemy of G-d, in Jewish literature, he is seen as a blessing to the Jewish people. Why? Let’s consider for a moment what Satan means. As mentioned before, the word not only means an adversary, but a stumbling block or an obstacle. What exactly is an obstacle? It is something which is put in our path requiring us to overcome it. Obstacles in this life give us opportunities to stretch our muscles and to grow.

Let’s take a look at what Judaism has to say about Satan. In the Genesis account of creation, we are told that G-d saw that each day was good, but on the last day it says that G-d saw that everything was VERY good. The Talmud teaches that this refers to the Evil inclination, which it equates with the Satan. Why is this good? It is the Evil inclination that provides our passions and desires, it is the evil inclination which is responsible for not only all the evil that transpires in this world, but also for all the good. For if we did not have passions, appetites and desires, we would also have no motivation and we would accomplish very little, either good or bad in this life.

If you look at the use of Satan in the Hebrew bible, you find that as a concept, it is much more about an experience than a person, an experience where G-d has put a roadblock in front of us. This is Satan, this is an adversary. So why is this a good thing? Because if we were to go through life without ever experiencing these roadblocks or adversaries, obstacles in life, there would be no potential for virtue in the world. For if we were never tempted to do the things that we are not supposed to do, then not doing them would be of no value to us. It is only in coming up against a desire to do what is wrong and overcoming this that we grow as spiritual people.

This evil inclination, or Satan, provides friction. Can you imagine a world with no friction, no resistance? Think about a car, how does it go? It is the friction between the tires and the road that allow the car to make progress, to go forward. Now, to the tires the friction is not necessarily a positive thing, the friction slowly destroys the tire, and yet without the friction, the tire is worthless.

If there is no resistance to overcome, we have no environment for growth. When we come up against an obstacle, either we crash into it and fall (definitely a negative experience – the evil inclination) or you have to climb over it, and by climbing over these obstacles in life, we develop our spiritual muscles, so to speak. If we never exercise our muscles, we atrophy. So these forces in the world, these experiences, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable, are positive and important.

To reiterate, in the Jewish bible, everything was created by G-d, both good and evil and everything is under G-d’s control.

[kodes88]

I believe in God, absolutely yes. He's the one who created all your eyes can see. It's all His. We never own anything in this world, its all from Him including our lives. He provides everything for us, even a single thing so be thankful for he has done for you.

Yes We believe God exists because God exists. But it is very difficult to explain to people who do not believe in the existence of God, that God exists. People who explained it must have a high science and spacious. Should people who really mastered the science of religion. And I'm not the person. But the point is, I believe in God.

well i believe it is a personal issue,i have had some experience with him before and know,there was a time i was in great need of help for my mothers medical bill,i tried all my possible best to get money but i was not successfull,so i prayed to God and i was amazed how i got help

Unless god rode down to earth on a lightning bolt and handed you a fat stack of cash, it was probably someone else helping you.

It would be nice though if we could just whisper to ourselves quietly and make things happen but that's called fantasy.

Oh yes, I forgot. God does things by not being involved at all.
