God(s)...?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just wondering who here does believe and God(s) and who doesn't. If you do believe in God what is him/her/it to you? Do you believe in one God, two Gods, many, or no God?

As for me I am very Agnostic, I do believe in God but I am not sure what he is. I also believe in evolution and reincarnation which makes no sense to anyone including myself but I don't care it's my beliefs.

i'm agnostic in the sense of i don't complete write out any possibility of some kind of deity but to everyone i'm just atheist because i don't believe in their particular brand of religion and see all the flaws and garbage in it.

if there's a god, we haven't found it yet and i don't particularly see any good reason to play pretend just because other people need a deity construct to help them cope and comprehend the reality around them.

I am Presbyterian.

I believe in God, but naturally I don't know what He is other than the Creator of heaven and earth, the source of all life.

I believe in Saltandor

Technically, I am agnostic, I have doubts and I'm uncertain about things concerning system beliefs that leads to God. I do go wondering about the possibility of God and how it would be his nature: a superior sentient being, nonsentient being, force or God being everything in the universe, or the possibility to be a product of the mind.

I am skeptical about the Bible and about religion, thinking of it as likely to be written by men, with human intuition, human excellent work, human errors, nevertheless human work, interpretating events which were not understood and unexplainable by the people who wrote it then, as supernatural events. I mantain that no empirical evidence of supernatural beings and events exist in science to believe such things with most certainty, at the same time I am uncertain about all.

One aspect from my view would be Uncertainty about the nature of the Universe, in the sense of explaining God.

Thee is nothing wrong with being uncertain. There are many things unknown and perhaps many unknowable. I am puzzled by people who indicate they are uncertain but maintain a belief that has not only no proof but no indication of existence.

Sand, that's a pretty good definition of faith.

We've had many topics about this subject already. Maybe we should all have our religion included in our profile, or put it in our signature: "I am (...) so don't ask!"

Anyway, told this before, but I am atheist.

I am Pagan, and I don't "believe", I KNOW.

I am a Christian, but don't practice it in the "traditional" sense.

I am Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He was made flesh and suffered and died for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 "Love your neighbor as yourself." Leviticus 19:18 That's it in a nutshell; the rest is details.

I believe in what the Bible says, not in how a particular church interprets it. I gave up on organized religion long ago, and I think most "Conservative Christians" need to reread their Bibles -- they seem to be more about judging people rather than loving them. Also, it doesn't say in the Bible that you have to convert everyone -- just that you have to educate them. Whether or not they choose to accept Christ is between them and God. It also says in the Bible that you should respect others -- telling them that they're going to hell for not believing a certain way is not respecting them. Besides, we are not God; it is not our job to decide who's going to hell and who isn't.

Insofar as faith is concerned:

Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.
Robert A. Heinlein

Whenever I turn on the light of intelligence and reason the obvious absence of any God is totally obvious.
