I cannot believe in God! It’s plain to see that throughout the ages man has felt the need to invent a god, or gods. The Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Indians. They all had gods. It’s obviously a fantasy.
I sometimes wish I could believe as I understand the comfort it must bring, but it’s patently phoney. How and why do supposedly highly intelligent humans believe?
makes the idea of dying seem less intimidating!
i think thats why alot of people cling to religion!
makes dying softer
so instead of
oh your dad is dead in the ground lifeless in a coffin covered in make up and filled with embalming liquid
it would be
oh hes in a better place now! hes up there now with the angels
makes it seem less traumatising!
i personally have a greater respect for science.
and i hate the idea that my life is planned out already by some higher being who created the earth in a week yet no mention of dinosaurs in the bible lolI felt exactly the same Owen. I’ve modified my view now.
If someone can explain how the universe came into effect 10 billion years ago then I’m all Ears. I havent found one site online that explains it to my satisfaction.
A Big Bang theory’s great, but if an Atom exploded, then someone had to put the Atom there in the first place? For something to come of nothingness requires something. It’s no good to say God is bullsh.it and not be able to offer an alternative reason for these questions. I’d be interested if anyone had an explantion.
It could also be said that Human Beings, the Earth, the Universe and it’s fantastically complicated workings are just too complicated to be random.I would like to believe in god, I do struggle at times though, like Toxen said, it can make grief slightly easier to deal with. I admire people with strong faith, they have something that no one can take away from them, no matter how tough life gets. I ticked the I don’t know box…… Im confused ! :?
I am constantly hearing there’s only one true god, but I see three have turned up here already! :-s
I don’t believe in god at all :? I don’t think this makes me a bad person, on the contrary, it makes me value myself and the challenges that I’m faced with more. When I overcome a challenge its because I wanted to and not because some higher being allowed me to.
I believe in inner strength and positive thinking. Positivity breeds positivity 8)

That’s easy for you to say *hick* :twisted:
I can’t remember the last time I shouted out “JESUS CHRIST” so I don’t think he does exist.
forgive me father for I have sinned nsew 8-[
lush :P :twisted:
My answer is Yes.
I cannot see why one’s Faith should have too much to do with one’s intelligence though…
And it’s not always comforting (well, not for me anyway). I don’t think it’s as Absolute as that (once again, not for me anyway lol).
no
