Do you HONESTLY believe in God?

War is human nature. Do some research before you make yourself look like a fool.

 

Most people have been forced into wars or they have been brought up knowing only how to kill. Ofcs raising a generation that only knows how to kill will result in killing, but don't tell me the peasants wanted to fight in wars they had nothing to gain from, because that's just a lie.

 

I do believe in god, not only that i grew up with my religion. I am not too practicing but little bit.

 

I believe that something created the universe, but organized religion is nothing but a scam. Church leaders drive BMW 7 series' paid for by the members of the church.

 

I'm a christian. I believe in Jesus Christ, no denomination really.
Evidence: I've seen over 100 people get healed this past year just praying for them. Some Christians, so agnostics, and some atheists. For example, I prayed for a freshman at my college in the lunchroom who had a sprained ankle because of soccer. He couldn't walk on it, but then i said a quick prayer for his ankle and asked him to test it out, he freaked out because it got better! I'm pretty sure he got back to playing soccer If you are a christian or not check out Mark 16:17-18.

If you would like to talk about this or ask for prayer for a sickness/mental illness just hit me up! I would love to talk and am not scary at all lolz.

God loves you all so flibbin much and wants you to love him back by repenting and living for him! It's such an awesome life you guiiiissssss.

 

yes i do believe in god, not the 'god' that man has created over time with images and words, but the GOD that created US, i believe, yes.
And with us i mean we , our parents and those parents.. and so on.

 

No. It was created by humans so we would all be "good little people".

 

Science can only go so far before something religious ends up turning up.

Whether religion is a real thing, it will always be apart of the world.

 

I honestly don't believe in what anti-religious (aka close-minded) people call 'science'. After a few layers of BS spewed out to defend their theories, they run out of options. Then a breakthrough apparently pops out of new studies and the scientists once again know everything about the universe and its creation. I mean, let's take aether as a pretty significant example. We're told that physicists have discovered the properties of light and all "other" waves! Then they realise that waves need a medium to travel through and doesn't apply to light! What happens next? A brand new theory born out of desperation to cover up that HUGE mistake they've made. They do countless experiments to prove the existence of aether but so far, not a hint of solid evidence. Yet it is part of the widely accepted 'science' that makes up the entirety of anti-creationist theories. Despite the lack of solid evidence, people choose to follow all these anti-creationist theories blindly like sheep, either because they are unable to view the topic as a bigger picture or because they are forced to conform to the expectations of their peers. "Following blindly", "without solid evidence", "conform to expectations". Ring any bells? These are the exact same words used to put down the beliefs of many people, from Christians to Muslims and beyond. The truth is that we will most likely never know for sure how the world was created and whether or not there is a God or greater being. As such, everyone is entitled to their beliefs and should not be oppressed for what they believe in.
:>

 

NO, religion is the biggest scam on this planet, claiming billions if not trillions each year, and they are theories yes, that doesnt mean its a fact, its something they have some evidence for. However there's NO evidence whatsoever that god or any greater has ever existed. IF god existed why would he/she let all these terrible things happend?

- Kids starving in africa to death everyday
- natural disasters

etc, the list goes on.

 

honestly, how can we all not believe in god when we are living, i do believe that god exist not as a human being with qowers but a spiritual energy that noone can comprehend and understand, that energy lives in a higher dimension one that we can't see and understand so yeah. there is a god, religion i don't understand nore will i want to, i feel like religion just fuels tension with other religious beliefs

 

How can you pin the bad deeds on God without accrediting him for the good? Without accrediting him for the very existence of those kids; without accrediting him for the very existence of you? I'm not exactly sure if there even is a God but what I'm saying is that a large amount of people (especially influenced by social media and 'regular' media) have been oppressed by society in a similar way in which some communities have been persecuted in the past for NOT conforming into one religion. The cycle should be broken sooner rather than later... Wars emerge from intolerance, not differences in opinion. Intolerance is just something born out of arrogance and the impetuous need to be superior. Terrible things happen with or without a God and it certainly doesn't prove a God DOESN'T exist.
That aside, God essentially HAS been helping in several ways. The help ranges from the development of Christian not-for-profit organisations to prayer groups in multiple religions. As much as one might argue that the prayer does nothing whatsoever, they would have to agree that it raises awareness and re-sensitizes people to the concepts of starvation and death (which are often de-sensitized by popular media and video games).
As for natural disasters, I'm not sure what there is to tell you. I thought the 'natural' bit explained it well enough.

 

Why would we all believe in a god simply because we're "living"?

Do you have any reason to believe any of this that isn't simply emotional?

there are dragons

 

If u dont believe in it dont force others to believe the same, same goes to christians. As a christian, i personally think let people believe what they wanna believe in. Being a christian has not made my life bad so i find no point in questioning it. I hate when people just bring in science proving god is fake. There r so many unknowns in science and frankly we will probably never learn all of it. Just saying theres evil means nothing imo, if theres a god why should we act like we would understand its reasons. If i wanted to waste my time defending it, i would be wasting my time because i understand people will believe wht they want, but u can easily just day god gave us free will or something and without evil we would not have choices. So we can blame our selves for most evils. Natural disasters r natural and maybe a god wants us to defend our selves rather than him having to babysit us. I also say that god could be a god that likes connections or patterns thus we can find it through science. I hate these type of threads because they can sometimes bring bate. But this is my 2 cents pls no flame cuz i wont judge what u believe. The way we question god could be done with science because of many things in it we do not understand or just plain dont know. A simple example is how mass can not be created or destroyed but during the big bang there was every mass in our universe in its singularity but we dont kno where it all came from, we can also point at blaxkholes where most people believe we understand them but we actually kno almost nothing, they just call it a singularity to give it a name. Sorry for any spelling errors typing fast on phone lol. The op's title says if we believe in a god and i think everyone thinks of a man but god could be anything, and religion is just the complex interpretation of meeting this god.

 

the point of atheism isn't that religion fucks up your life it's just that we should never promote blind indoctrination. Science actively searches for answers with a system of hypotheses and experiments while religion is just an falsifiable declaration. If it doesn't affect your life then why do you believe? If you think it does then you should take another look because all previous attempts to prove the existence of a god have fallen short.

Science is supposed to be maleable and open to error because the way you figure out fact isn't by declaring it to be true. If science weren't open to contradictory evidence, like religion, then we would NEVER figure out the answers to the universe.

As for all of your examples of what science can't understand if anything that's an argument FOR science over religion. If modern science can't explain a concept then they don't just decide fill that hole with some batshit magical entity, they say "we don't know" and try to find an answer.

edit: and it isn't helping your argument to pull shit out of your ass like "singularities to give it a name". If you had taken a basic highschool physics class you would know why they're called singularities and how we can measure them.

 

I do believe in God. Religion was not forced upon me or something I found miraculously due to some numinous feeling or event.

I can't remember a time when I didn't believe in God and personally I believe I have alternative reasons for believing in God. If i answered honestly I would say it's for hope sometimes, that I do actually have a purpose. Because if not , isn't life just a cruel chance, a coincidence. Another reason is that I fear death and by putting a label on myself and believing in something I don't have to worry, or fear (even though I still do).

 

Lol wat. Explain to me what happens in a singularity then :^] because everything i found goes to "tbh we arent sure"
back to physics 4 uuuu

 

There is a difference between knowing what a singularity is and knowing what it does. Any moron can google what a singularity is because it is a well researched phenomenon. If you really want me to be your Wikipedia (sad tbh) a singularity is a point of infinite density. That's it. We can measure the mass of singularities by measuring their gravitational aspects. Please have some BASIC understanding of the subject you're posting about.

edit: and I would have assumed that you could extrapolate why they call it a singularity from my riveting explanation but from what I can tell you aren't very... A singularity is called a singularity because all of its mass is in a SINGULAR point. Not just because, oh how would you put it,

 

There would be no life lesson if there was interference of an otherworldly being. This world can maintain itself. There is no logical reason for monitoring and protecting the world if there is an afterlife. Prolonging the life span of humans is detrimental to the world.

 

I don't think science really confirms anything about the unknown. It's just a convenient way of explaining things. The need for knowledge is (and has always been) an extremely primal instinct and never leads to anything good. It's pretty widely known that when people try too hard to gain knowledge and power, the world falls to ruin around their ears.
That said, I'm not saying that scientific progress should be hindered in any way... People should seek knowledge as they please as long as they keep their words under firm restraint. Everything should obviously be given the benefit of the doubt; from religious beliefs to scientific theories. If any two or more of the theories are conflicted and can't co-exist, supporters of either theory should not have the right to shun the opposition... rather keep their mindset flexible.
At the moment, there are far too many people in society who simply treat Christians (not to mention others) in a condescending manner. Why? Because science holds the tighter leash on society's knowledge. Yet despite the infinitely alternative ways in which the Universe could have been created, people decide to blindly believe a select few, based on merely tatters worth of evidence and just a few decades worth of logical (and primitive) pondering.
Regardless of the lack of solid evidence backing up any of the countless theories, people in society seek out ways to discriminate against anyone who disagrees with them.
Cba to keep typing so I'm going to sum up in dot points:
- The way we think is primitive. We might think we're so smart now but there will always be room for improvement. Because of this, nobody should ever be arrogant or pious.
- We still know nothing! We have no solid evidence for anything yet. So think twice before scolding someone of a different belief.
- There are infinite creationist and anti-creationist theories and there's a chance that none of us are right.
- @ilovegold69, we can't actually ascertain the mass of a singularity... or even prove its existence anywhere. Sure, we can come up with explanations that compliment our primitive minds... but we will probably never know.
- @ilovegold69 once again, none of us are exactly 'smart' enough to be able to know all of that. Maybe it is purely accredited to a high being that we (humans) are living. Maybe it isn't. But how scientists managed to conjure up a theory that explains the creation of life from an abiotic environment is beyond me. This is something that there is absolutely no proof for.
Schools have even started teaching incomplete theories to students, and soon there will be a generation devoid of unprejudiced thinking.
Just in my opinion; the best way to stop this is to stop preaching what you cannot see for yourself. This goes for both scientists and religious people. Everyone should feel free to believe what they want and discuss it with others. But to oppress others into obligation is going a step too far.
