Do you believe there is a GOD?

[konakona]

who knows, maybe there is a supreme being, maybe not. neither <doesnt exist cuz you cant prove he/she does>, nor <exists cuz you cant prove he/she doesnt > argument rings a bell to me.

thanks for the suggestion, done!

Was the idea of either a) a great afterlife or b) a horrific afterlife created to keep us in line while on Earth and have use try to live the best life possible?

It seems quite a few people live their lives with this belief.

 

[TitanDiddly]

1. This is flamebait. Thanks a lot.
2. Yes.

 

[0roo0roo]

if there is, its obviously one that doesn't care about the daily lives of humans, so its rather irrelevant.

Dear God by XTC

Dear God,
hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image, see
them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting
in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make
mankind after we made you? And the devil too!
Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on
a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you
should take a look, and all the people that you made in your
image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and
so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in
I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no
devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always
letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you
drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the
whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,
and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in
it's you... Dear God.

 

[WT]

Every time , just before I skydive ... I say a short prayer to him.

 

[boyRacer]

Yes I do.

And I think people should mind their own business whether they believe in God or not instead of insulting each other.

 

[datalink7]

If by God you mean an all knowing all powerful being who created everything, then no.

If by God you mean this slice of Papa Murphy's Chicago Stuffed Pizza I'm eating for breakfast, then yes

 

[pyonir]

No.

/beat dead horse with stick

In the case that any one religion is correct, most of the worlds people are goin to some nasty place.

 

[40Hands]

nope. I do like to believe that there is something after death but I'm sorry to say that we probably just rot in the ground like everything else. We think just because we are smarter(ok so maybe not everyone ) then other creatures that makes us sooo special that we get a cozy place to go after death.(If we believe in the correct one that is....)

Sorry people. We die and become fertilizer for the the plants to feed the rest of the world. Or burnt down to ashes and become a nice center peice on a mantle.

Also note my sig.

 

[Zenmervolt]

Yes, I do. I'll leave it at that for now.

 

[Attrox]

YES.
Don't insult me if you don't believe in God because I'm not insulting you for not believing.

 

[Dedpuhl]

No

 

[dagnytaggart]

I often wondered what the ratio is. I know this is just a poll of our little society, but i'm surprised by the level of no's. you really get the idea that it's a very small minority.

also i just have to say i recently saw touching the void (really good, by the way) and it addresses what moshquerade was talking about.

the main guy is an atheist and had a religious upbringing and often wondered, when it came down to it, if in the situation, would he revert back and pray to some sort of god or maker. It was really interesting. And i'm not disagreeing or agreeing with what he said, but he said, that he didn't once think of it, that if he had, he would have been dead... meaning that he left his fate up to someone else, he would have sat there and died.

i just thought it was interesting.

 

[conjur]

Not a chance in hell.

 

[Mr N8]

Yes.

I believe the latter. I believe he gave us free will, he does not control our lives

(Must say "I believe" in order to not make it sound like if i'm preaching)

If you believe He exists and created us with a free will, do you think that He, knowing you before you were born, created you the way He wanted you to be, knowing how you'll act/think/etc. in life and just let you believe that you really do have a free will?

I'm more of a scientific thinker I guess, but even Darwins theory of evolution is flawed. I would never say this to my parents for fear of them disowning me but I'd have to say I'm Agnostic.

props for admitting that :thumbsup:

Most everyone who hasn't contemplated the existence of God SUDDENLY turn religious on their deathbed and donate fortunes to the all-mighty Catholic Church.
