Re: Do you believe in God?

The question I have is, so? Belief is belief. For whatever reason we believe, and no matter what we believe, that is largely a personal issue.

In case you have not noticed there are a lot of personal questions asked in polls.
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

I have read your posts many times, and even feel I have a limited understanding of the God you worship.....I take the question as:

"Do you believe in MY God"





So I answered.....NO

That was not the question of the poll but whatever floats your boat. I will add coming from you I am not surprised......
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

The poll question needs to be more specific.


Do I believe in the bible or the god portrayed by it? No.

Do I believe in god as portrayed by any religion that I am aware of? No.

Do I believe that their are high beings somewhere out there? Yes.

Do I believe we were created or somehow had our evolutionary path manipulated by higher beings? Undecided, not enough evidence to come to a solid conclusion one way or the other but color me skeptical.
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

I put yes, although technically I believe in a "sentient higher power". Since you weren't specific about which God.

Now, if you were meaning the Christian God or another specific religion's God(s), then the answer would be no.

Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe in the same God.....The question was correct and simple.......Its a yes or a no. It seems there are a lot of people coping out on the question and that is sad....
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

I do believe in a higher power, but not in the GOD of Abraham.

You do know that those are not the only religions out there or that believe in a higher power/God, right?

Of course there are probably hundreds of them but I believe most people believe in the God of Moses and Abraham.....You can pick at it any way you want but I am sure most people with common sense know what I mean.....

I think you are smart enough to know what I mean....There are probably religions we have not ever heard of but I am talking mainiy in the USA.
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

Most people do, what about you?

People generally have their own concept that they define as God. The only concept I am sure of is there is no proof there is a God and there is no proof there is not a God.
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

NO, I guess I haven't noticed many like this one. But then I don't open them all up. What would it mena to you if a majority did or didn't believe? And what if some didn't believe in the God of Abraham?

People who believe in God say its a matter of faith....

Well you need to look again because most polls ask you a personal question like

1. do you believe in the death penalty?
2. will you vote for Hussein Obama or Romney
3. Do you beiieve in Abortion

I would be shocked although there are a lot of kids in DP who probably don't but that will change once they grow older, mature, get married and have a family..
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

Yep, and have not ever doubted his existence.

I was raised as a christian, but as of now I would file myself as agnostic. I find the question of god to be inherently unanswerable. One thing that I certainly do not believe in is organized religion. There is far too much human intervention for any of it to be "divine". If god were to create us all, and make a path where only one religion were correct, and the consequence was our eternal souls, I imagine he would've made the choice and the facts far clearer than they are.

This is more or less, exactly how I feel about this question.
Good answer.
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

None at all....I am a total believer in Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity....Like I said its a matter of faith....
 
Re: Do you believe in God?

I personally don't know how I could live if I did not believe in God.......For me to believe there is no soul is unthinkable.......To think that this is all there is after you die is unacceptable..........Like I have said many times there are many people who believed in God as a young person and turned to atheism because of a lack of faith but when push comes to shove on their deathbed they become a believer again.

you do understand that there are many interpretations of who and what "God" is, yes?

I figure that if there indeed is a God, it knows no religious boundaries, and is the same one regardless of belief systems.

I do not believe in a personal God.

I do not believe in the afterlife, in any form.

And yet, I love being alive, and try to make every moment of it count.

I am totally fine knowing this is the only life I get, and its for this reason that I work hard to make it count.

I have to admit, it was extremely hard for me to let go. It took a long time for me to come to terms with it. But after it all settled, I felt at peace. Every breath, every smell, every taste, all of it is special, it gives life more meaning, because life is the only thing that has meaning.

I don't know but I do believe that you believe in God.
