Though it's something I question back and forth, I ultimately end up not believing in God.




It's useful to question assumptions, (whether they're yours or, another's). What caused you to not believe?

Yes I do, God is just the term for the Higher being that gives us hope, free spirit and makes us feel good.  You could call him whatever you want, but he exist and rule us, give us FREE WILL to do and believe whatever and whomever we want.

I do believe in God.  I wasn't so sure until I went through a really tough time.  I turned to my church and felt a change, now He's in me and with me.

So, it's like a daemonic possession?

Er, no.  A four-year old exposed to repeated religious brain-washing from his 'pastor' father provides extremely dubious evidence.

The book is true. What could a Pastor possibly gain by making it up?  Besides a ton of cash and less resistance to his teachings?  Other than that, what motivation could he have to make it up?

Well, the kid may grow up to be a fundie serial killer in the name of his "god" so, there's always another potential book deal.

For me, it is mixed. God is a term describing what people thought of to rule something. IE Zeus to rule the sky, Poseidon to rule the ocean. And the catholic god is to rule over mankind. I personally believe in God but also believe in the astronaut theory. That is (and don't mock me) aliens came here from outer space and colonized the earth. Being more advanced than us, the natives might of thought of them as gods and history went on.

They made a cool TV show about that, and I'm not talking about Anceint Aliens.

In all honest, the chance that aliens colonized Earth is better than a divine being, (especially a divine being as the bible describes it.) But in either retrospects, there isn't any obvious evidence to any theory partaining Intellegent Design. Whether it be a divine being, or technologically advanced beings (which in all retrospects, there isn't a thick line between the two.)

Just what I was thinking, except worded a lot better. I've gotta write that quote down.

Yes I do. He is the maker of the earth and creator of all people on earth. I cherish my God. He is great all the time.

The asserted claim is not factual due to lack of evidence and is, instead, an unsubstantiated belief.
