Do you Belive in a God or Not?

[AgentXen]

Need to Take A Survey For a school project.
Do you REALLY belive that there is a god?

Saying you belive in a "god" "Just to be on the Safe side" Does not qualify you as a "beliver" or what ever you want to call it.
Select No if this is the case.
Thanks for your time.

 

[OrrA]

no.
I'm an atheist, not a doubter, if it can in any way further help you?

 

[TinyKilbasa]

Absopositive-o-lutely!! God does Exist!!!!

er, yes

 

[CyberSh33p]

atheism, yay.

 

[Vigilante]

I believe in a superior being. So I guess god works.

 

[AgentXen]

Dosent atheism mean that you neither belive nor deny the existance?

 

[poseyjmac]

what about: i have seen no evidence either way?

as would have the religious then, because they say there definitely is one?

and having a stand or definite answer on anything ever as well?

 

[aeroripper]

I'm not christian anymore but i do believe there is a "higher order" that exists is outside of the physical universe.

The only way i can think that the universe will never end is if the universe is in a neverending, or neverstarting, cycle of expanding and contracting.

Ie...

(tiny tiny particle with all energy) Big bang >>>> expanding>>>> expanding slows and stops <<<<<shrinks<<<< shrinks back into particle... then starts again

I went to CCD(You go and learn about god) from kinagarden to sixth grade. I stopped in 7th(i really wanted to).
I learned a lot about god but ya wanna know something.. all that did was
MAKE ME AN ATHIEST.
I don't believe in any god or any form of god(s). Just no proof behind it thats all. No offense to any christians but my opinon is that the bible was written by a few drunk guys.

Also religion starts to many wars.
Look at world war 2.
(I do believe in "Aliens" im not saying there intelligent but im saying that the possibilites of there not being another lifeform in the universe considering a galaxy has around 100 trillion stars, 900 trillion planets, there are an astrionmical amount of galaxies meaning..i think u get it..)
So yeah i think that we arnt the only species out there, they coudl be dumb or smart they could be microorganisms for all i care i do believe there are some.

(My Opinons here)
Also the universe is always expanding but never ending... well for all we know there are multiple universes then multiple of whatever contains them etc.. The reason why we cannot see into these other universes is probably because well.. we dont have the technology and if we did the light probably hasnt reached here yet.

But everything is either expanding or move away from eachother considering everything in the universe has a red shift(i think its a red shift) which means there moving away while i believe a blue shift means there coming close togeather.

I'm not christian anymore but i do believe there is a "higher order" that exists is outside of the physical universe.

Same here

 

[nutcrackr]

atheism myself
I've always seen agnostics as fence sitters, such indecision

Thats quite a closed-minded statement. I don't try to change your belief that God doesn't exist, and I don't care if you believe he does exist as long as you don't cause any harm to any other in the name of your belief. There is some harm caused by religion, but not by the common person, so I don't care. Don't be closed-minded about my beliefs and I won't change my way of thinking, thx

Pretty much... i think that jesus probably was a real guy but the rest has just been embelleshed and rebellshed throughout history to manipulate people to do bad things in the name of God. People start the wars...... not the religion

Look at World War 3 on the horizion... the EU gaining a lot of power, United States "War on Terrorism"...

I think america is dying and dragging a lot of the industrialized world with it

Exactly what i was thinking.

 

[B.Calhoun]

The bible is nothing more than a bunch of stories that were put together, as moral guidelines.

I've yet to see ANY proof of god. Everything can and will be answered by science. It just takes time.

I was going to say the same thing.

 

[Cole]

I hate bush, i know he will lead us into another war. I know he will! John Kerry i believe wont but he seems like a g*y f*g(My opinon), hopefully everyone can vote for ralph nader!
Cuz i know nothing about him!

Wrong, by mere definition if there is a god that exists outside of this universe we can't have physical proof of a non-physical thing.

Science helps us understand the nature of the universe (physics, magnetism, gravity, energy, etc), but how to quanify the existance of god is something you can't do with science.

I could go on for a long time but i'd hafta think on how to say it first......

One word, F.E.M.A camps, free speech zones, a crime to come within a certain range on the president... the list goes on and on

Our SELECTED president is a very bad man

 

[The Mullinator]

God to me is nothing but the universe as a whole. Not a conscious being that has all power over everything.

Give it time. You and me both have not yet seen the end of science research. Give it time.

 

[Prince of China]

Yes, I believe in God.

 

[FoB_Ed]

Yes, I do

 

[Thadius Dean]

yay science!

 

[Dulrough]

I dont really belive in a deity, but if there is one I think its more of the "watchmaker" principal.
ie, you find a watch in the woods, there must have been a watch maker, but he/she is not there now, so, I dunno check the time, have lunch.

 

[Sui]

i vote no, as i think we were an unwanted accident ;(

but tbh, even if there was a god, he was probally just some kid playing with a chemistry set who accidently destroyed HIS universe and created OURS. either way, god is either very lazy (how hard is it to rid us of deseise?) very busy (we are 1,909,532,372,843 on the waiting list ) or very, very dead. think about it- how many people survived the big bang?

 

[dart321]

No I don't believe in god. Theres many reasons but the most dominate one would have to be God's "personality", its so human. He creates, he destroys, he's all powerful, he's loving, etc. Just seems like a man made deity to me. Thats my opinion anyway.

you didn't comprehend what i typed

i simply believe its a possibility for him to exist, but no concrete evidence has been presented either way.

so basically im as open-minded as one can get. thx

That's just a humans interpritation of "it". Humans tend to anthropomorphize things to much.

Ie... Why the Norse use to believe that "hell" was freezing cold, because they lived in a very cold enviroment.

Why possibly Chrisitans view of hell is of a very hot and fiery place because they lived near the equator.

" " God " " in a sense could be the "force" that connects all creation, but maybe its just more like a force rather than a deity or being as humans see.

From Red Dwarf:

RIMMER: I just don't know why I bother. I'd get more sense out of a squashed hedgehog. Lister, don't you ever stop and wonder: why are we here? What's the grand purpose?
LISTER: Why does it have to be such a big deal? Why can't it be like, like, human beings are a planetary disease? Like the Earth's got German measles or facial herpes, right? And that's why all of the other planets give us such a wide berth. It's like, "Oh, don't go near Earth! It's got human beings on it, they're contagious!"
RIMMER: So you're saying, Lister, you're an intergalactic, pus-filled cold sore! At last, Lister, we agree on something.
LISTER: What do you believe in, then? Do you believe in God?
RIMMER: God? Certainly not! What a preposterous thought! I believe in aliens, Lister.
LISTER: Oh, right, fine. Something sensible at last.



Back on topic...

Oh, and I don't believe in god.... God in my opinion is just humanity's inability to comprehend (1) Death, the state of "not being" we just can't wrap our minds around that one... accepting that one day you may simply cease to exist is not too good for your sanity. (2) There not being some greater purpose to everything. Humans by their very nature are very inquistive, and want to learn more and more about their surroundings... their origins and their purpose. That is why we wish to reach the stars, to understand our universe. The idea that there doesn't have to be some grand purpose of design does not sit well with people either.

Humans want to understand everything. We don't like things not being simple and straight forward generally, even great minds like Einstein could not cope with the seemingly inexplicable. When the nature and fabric of the universe was discovered to be random and chaotic at the quantum level, Einstein, who believed everything could be explained as a set of rules was disheartened, and it went against his faith also. "God does not play dice with the universe."

I do not rule out the possibility that there may be something outside our universe that controls us or could affect us. We can't prove or disprove that theory, ever. For all you know we could all be part of "Sim Universe" and the reason "God" or rather the player seems to be absent in modern times is because he or she has left the game running and gone to sleep/died

I can't bring myself to believe in something that cannot be proved, especially if it involves throwing my time on this planet away to worshiping said deity; saying that I am sitting here on an internet forum typing out a hideously long post at 3 o'clock in the morning

So he doesn't create, he doesn't destroys and love? He's not all powerful? Then the whole philosophy or theory of a "god" unravels and we are left with nothing but a ominous superior being. "We don't know what he does kids, but he's there! Yup!"

No your like the media, you say things but not the whole things.
I GAVE PERFECTLY LOGICAL PROBABLITY!
Your saying that you believe that no planet has ever had any type of life even if it was a microorganism or anything.
Thats what your saying, the probablity for that is insanely low.

There are to many planets to comprehend.
There has been mathimatically equastions to help give us an idea on how many lifeforms there are based on how many planets you think there is.

Now if the universe is always growing then most likly new planets etc are always coming about.
Then there are probably around a Centillion (Going europe version with 600 0's) or more.
Now your saying out of all those not 1 planet besides earth has ever sastaind any form of life.

 

[A True Canadian]

No, I don't believe in God; for the reasons taht have been stated in this thread.

My time is important to me. I find it difficult to follow religion when there is nothing really exciting about it. I veiw it as a history lesson about things that MAY have happened. Then looking at how we will be SAVED in the future if we follow the practices of some devine "leader".

Religion gets me depressed. It shouldn't but it does. Maybe I don't understand it, or I do. :rolling:

I would rather go Rogue. God hasn't done anything for us in millenums; why do we need him now? I don't need God's help, and by the looks of things, he doesn't need me.



Wow, I hope I didn't cross the line there. :O

 

[leadfish]

Yes I do.

 

[Dalamari]

Yes I do.

Ditto.

I'm on your side on this one :thumbs:
