Is There a God?

[Goldbar]

Perhaps we should define this word "God." My ancestors believed that God was a guy who could do magic tricks - you know, make fire.

So your god is a long-dead Homo Erectus?

Very well, that god I believe in. Doesn't seem worthwhile to worship them though.

You make an assumption. My ancestors and yours (cavemen) may or may not have believed in God. I don't know. But even if they did, that doesn't mean that I do.

[Cogitation]

Excuse me while I laugh hysterically. Someone tell him why he's a moron please.

Borderline flaming. Knock it off. Attack the argument, not the poster.

This disproves the Christian god. Not any god. Gods are unknowables.
By the way, the problem of evil was Epicurus' thing. Not Socrates.

The first organised religions, and a clear concept of God, seemed to have first within the past 7000-5000 years ago.

Any proto-humans probably either didn't think about it or were similar to animists if they did.

Shit. Sorry about wrong credit. I think you can use the logic and apply it to just about any god.

Not non-omnipotent gods and such. The rest is bible stuff, which is false and you are right in pointing that out.

[Saphasia]

My guess is even if there is a god (seems unlikely to me, burden of proof and all that jazz) it probably wouldn't give a crap about any of us, so I'm gonna live my life as if there isn't.

[Kovahdiil]

I think of it this way:
-I could live my entire life as an atheist yet still never commit a "sin", however, if there is a god I will still be sent to hell for not believing in god
-The bible says that god dictates everything and yet someone may live in a place where they will never hear of a god and be sent to hell for not believing in god.
Why?Why would a "loving" god create such situations? It doesn't make sense.

I suppose my points were aimed mostly at Christianity and for that, but living in Canada, I'm not exposed to other religions as much. I also can't read the languages that other religions are written in.

anyway, that's my opinion

You cant read English?

Now, I suppose I am a Christian, however I am not completely convinced that there is a god looking over me 24/7. Now, there probably has been THOUSANDS of these forums but I'm just interested, what are your beliefs and what do you think?

Note: Please do not argue with each other, we are all entitled to believe in what we want to believe in

You know, it's not necessary to believe in a god to be a Christian. In fact, I would argue that belief in a god is incompatible with being a Christian.

[Kallstrom]

Austiana, I am God. Believe, and have faith. I AM God. If you don't believe in me, you will go to hell.

You can message me. Look forward to chatting with you.

Shhhh

Shhhh.

It's not worth it. It's not ever going to be worth it.

[The Republican Tea Party]

I personally believe there is a god out there, and as a Christian, I believe in one god of course and Jesus Christ, son of God and savior of man.

So, if it isn't obvious, I believe there is a god.

I've been out of sync with the forums lately, Bluth? Who is he?

Aw, c'mon. Bluth's a nice guy. He just has some strange views sometimes.

Oh, no doubt. Very nice and impeccably polite.

It's just that he generates outrage quite easily.

Well what do you expect, this is a website that kids can come on to say whatever they want about the most censored subjects they can think off, your bound to get some idiotic statements every once in a while.

That is possibly the truest statement in the universe.

I mean, he can generate outrage by snapping his fingers. It's amazing, really.

Nope, scientists agree that the truest statement in the universe is

"Jerusalem and Damascus is a very sexy beast. And humble, too."

As a scientist in training, no. Don't make me alert the Science Police.
