Why do you believe God exists?

[2ballsfrog]

People just need religion to fill in the things that they can not explain.

If Zeus not exist, how can you explain the lightnings? Religion still exists because people feel better beliving some sweet lie than accepting the true: that there are many things that we do not know yet.

Exactly - finally that understand how things really are and doesn't let himself be lied to.

I'd like to know.... What is it that compels you to believe in God?

To believe in a god, you need to be gullible, and believe whatever crazy things people tell you.  :/

I believed that God really exist..He is my God and my center of everything.Without God I'm not here and no one can exist without him.God created me and Created all the things that you see in this world.

I believe in God 50% and science 50% too, science has their explanations that the Universe was made by natural chemicals present in the surrounding, because i dont believe in magic. 50% in God because i need guidance from above

Everyone has their own beliefs! If I don't have faith, I don't feel alive!

[dumbfounded22]

every thing in the world and everything, the whole universe as a whole has the cause of its existence
but to continue this sequence, the chain of causes to infinity is impossible - somewhere there must be a First Cause!

Do you believe the Fairy God Mother exists?

[Vinz1978]

By Faith in God I am strongly confident that He exists. Because I believe in the Word of God (The Bible). Hebrews 11:1-6 says

1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are
    visible.
4. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his
    gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.
5. By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
    seek Him.

You believe just because it's written in a certain book? What says that that book is real/official/depicts actual or real events?
Why not believe in yourself? Your mother/wife, whatever?

[irenejcolla]

Yep u can't deny this fact since u can find evidence everywhere that the God exist if you look around you and find how great and marvelous they are, you'll really start to question urself who design/architect/made this?

[janiirobins]

My 'reasonable' conviction of the existence of God requires only ONE reason. That atheism is illogical, and therefore so is agnosticism.

[taraatedesco]

Yes he does exist. He lives in my heart.How can anyone believe there is no God. He set this world into existence. We didn’t come from frogs. Prayers

Why is it that your God is not bound by the same principle then?

I appreciate your effort here, but you are fighting a losing battle.

14,480 people joined the forum yesterday (only 601 posted anything), most of them from ignorant and uneducated countries just looking to make a fast buck.

They will overwhelm your logic with so many useless posts faster than you can eat your dinner.

I do believe in God because there is a desire in my heart to look and worship for someone greater, someone whom I know created all these things. I believe that there is a God-shaped hole in all of us that only God can fill and we are hardwired to have a conciousness that there is a God who is sovereign.

I'm a Scientist, have been for most of my life. I have NEVER believed in a supreme being, despite going to Catholic schools my entire life.

I'd like to know.... What is it that compels you to believe in God? How can you argue for his existence? Please bare the following in mind when you answer;

1. There are literally thousands of religions, each of which has members that believe just as firmly as you do, they say they feel a personal connection with God, they have their own religious books and doctrines etc, if you were born in Saudi Arabia, you would be a muslim, in Ireland you would be a protestant, seems like the place you are born denotes your religion, rather than divine intervention. Obviously you can't all be right, so how do you know YOU are.

2. Most religions state that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, all-present and eternal. If this is the case, why are people punished for sins by an all loving God, who predestined them to commit their sins by knowing the future? Why is there bone cancer in Children, and insects that burrow into the eyes of infants making them blind, could an all loving God not have imagined a reality without this? And why is there such overwhelming evidence AGAINST the existence of a creator?

3. Since the scientific era God has slowly receded into the shadows, God used to be held responsible for most things, e.g. people offered sacrifices for good health, prayed for rain, thought that God pulled the sun across the sky, created plagues etc. Now we know he does none of these, and God has been reduced to a "God of the gaps" whereby he is still attributed to things we cannot yet explain with science, doesn't seem very powerful anymore.

I'll try to respond to the major points in this thread attempting to dismantle them.

I am a believer that God do exist and i dont need science to explain His existence. Science only explains what it can grasp upon and God is not a physical being.

I believe that there is a God-shaped hole in all of us that only God can fill

They are called vaginas and only women have them.

God uses them to rape women and produce his offspring.

[Morgann]

i believe in god because he give us the chance to be a part of this world. he created all things that exist in this world and he gave birth to all human.

[lealyn18]

I believe because we are all created in the world in which we live because without God we are nothing in this world.
