God Helps People Make Personal Decisions?

[Evan Wears Prada]

It would be foolish for me to claim that I know exactly what God is, but I know for sure that it's not some bearded invisible guy in the sky. It's obvious to anyone who's not a complete moron that that's just an egocentric conception of what God was by primitive man. I believe God is some sort of energy, definately a higher power.

It could be some bearded man in the sky as no one has ever seen God before, so no one would know what God looks like.

That is what you believe, and i believe that there is no higher power. We both shall find out when we die, either we'll rot in a hole or go to heaven or hell.

There's always a small chance that it could be something as simple as a bearded guy in the sky. But to think that the ultimate reality of all things can be 1. perceived by the human mind, and 2. have a form as simple as a human body, sounds kind of silly to me.

If there is a God, and by God I mean the supreme being, it would probably be so complex that our human minds simply could not perceive it.

Like i said, we won't know until we're dead.

God didn't help me My inner thoughts helped me

 

[The_Ohner]

I don't see how god helps. if you follow his storys then is that really helping you?

 

[Morally Skilled]

The part that baffles me the most is, that people follow 'God' blindly don't even know what 'he/she/it' is.

There isn't any prove that he exists other than a book and luck of the draw 'miracles.'

My uncle survived a fatal car accident. We all prayed for him, that is why he is alive - because of god.

My uncle survived a fatal car accident. He's a raging atheist. It was just luck.

People have followed the rules of gravity for millenia without knowing what it is, hell we still don't know what it is we just know how it works. The same way people follow the rules of gravity (avoiding falling from high places) people also follow the rules of God (not stealing and not killing for example). These laws apply to you no matter what you are; atheist, christian, buddhist, it doesn't matter. The consequences will come to you if you steal and kill the same way they will come to you if you jump off a bridge, but they may not be as obvious in some cases.

There isn't any proof that gravity exists either, it is a theory. Do you doubt the existence of gravity?

God and luck is the same exact thing. Why do people think that you can choose what God to worship? Can you choose what world or universe you live in? Can you choose what body you get? Do you think if there was a God (all powerful being) that he'd give a fuck if some human worships him or not? The point here is to be a good and kind person, the point of religion is to help you get there. Now what religion is is simply a guide that can show you how to become a good person, and because it is made by humans on the most part there is always a chance of it being wrong. The Bible for instance was rewritten many times and was edited by many rulers and abused for power. It is no longer a good guide because it actually promotes death and contains many contradictions. It is obvious just by reading it that it sounds like the opinions of primitive sexist homophobic man.

But anyways, it doesn't matter what religion you choose, if one at all. If you are an atheist and are a good kind person with gratitude for the things he/she has, you don't need a guide to tell you how to live your life because you already know.

I don't believe it at all. I believe in no god. There isn't really a physical explanation for the so called "god", and I believe science over religion. If there is a god thats cool.. but I at the time don't believe in him and am not convinced he even exists. So I guess I am agnostic

What's your definition of "god"? It could be that what we call god is really a huge source of energy.

I define "God" as this supposed "supreme ruler" creator of the earth and heavens.. Savior to all. Which again has no logical explanation to convince me of his existence

This is pretty ignorant since not all religions have this definition of God, hence you dismissing all of them based on your own definition is pretty ignorant and close minded.

its crazy that some people are like this. I am not religious and I have nothing against religion but it is too far when people don't live there lives to the fullest because of it

Pretty much what religion is all about. As Prayer noobs said, different religions have different definitions of god, as well as those who don't belong to any particular religion.

My avatar is a picture of a bearded guy, your point exactly?

It's an image of god from the Sistine Chapel...

 

[dam prayer noobs]

True. I found it on Google images and thought it looked cool so I made it my avatar.

 

[Foetus]

Wow man, you didn't know from where that image come from before choosing it?
Anyway, I don't believe in God so i don't think he helps us making decisions ^^

If you're going to spread disinformation, do so in a less obvious manner.

People have followed the rules of gravity for millenia without knowing what it is, hell we still don't know what it is we just know how it works. The same way people follow the rules of gravity (avoiding falling from high places) people also follow the rules of God (not stealing and not killing for example).

The consequences will come to you if you steal and kill the same way they will come to you if you jump off a bridge, but they may not be as obvious in some cases.

This is simply too long of an argument to engage into with you. I'd lose my sanity.

There isn't any proof that gravity exists either, it is a theory. Do you doubt the existence of gravity?

A theory is grand in Science.

No, that would be silly, it is observable--this also is a proof for gravity. Gravity is observable. (In a vain attempt I'm trying to pump this into your head; however, repetition hasn't worked in the past, and it probably won't now. Focus, focus, focus.)

Indoctrination or blatant stupidity.
No, our parents did a very fine job of that however. (This regresses a loooong way back)
In a sense.
Some people believe so.

Wow thats alot of people...didnt think it wwould be that many.

This is my opinion and my own personal definition you don't have to follow it, but who are you to tell me I am wrong? Do you have any proof of this said "God"?
