Do you believe in God, and if so, why?

Why is death bad? Who wants to live forever?

Because an all powerful and loving god could easily wipe those all out?

maybe he likes to watch suffering?

Why not? It's just common sense.

If there is no evidence for something that the most rational conclusion is that it does not exist.

If he likes to watch suffering without doing anything in his power to stop it then he is simply a monster and definitely not something which is worth worshipping.

no one (of importance) is telling you to worship him

I see that nothing I'm going to say is going to change your mind on this issue because you have basically already made up your mind.

So I think that we will just have to agree to disagree.

Most peoples assumptions come from what religious leaders and texts tell them about that god. If the bible tells you god is all powerful and loves us it's not hard to see why some may question that. But that is just my guess. We just go based on what is given to us.

i don't recall ever expressing what my opinion on the matter was in the first place :)

So edgy! Careful you don't cut yourself

I think it shouldn't matter whether someone believes in a god or not (they'll have their reasons) so long as it doesn't cloud judgement or guide actions in real life.

As for me, no, I don't believe in a god because it's a preposterous proofless idea, in my opinion.

Man, what a bunch of atheists.

What a depressing place OT is.

why is that?

This thread needs more pasta.

I don't believe in anything I can't see.

I don't really care one way or another because I think the existence (or lack) of a God has zero impact in my live. If there's "somebody on the clouds" I hope he/she/it is enjoying him/her/itself, if there isn't, all fine by me as well.

You know air exists because of the sense of touch you can feel the air and wind, there is no proof that God exists.

i think the odds on god existing is pretty slim but i can't say for sure one way or the other because i don't base my beliefs on blind faith.

my guess is that belief in god is an evolution-ally developed survival strategy.

or we all live in the sims 44,000.

if you look at the probability's the odds are about the same.

wrong. it's god in my tires.

lulz.

Oh yeah then I farted god like 30 minutes ago lol!

I believe that there is some sort of deity who created the universe. I'm not religious though.

You can feel air you can't feel God.

I'm not talking about sight anymore I'm talking about the sense of touch, you can feel air through the sense of touch and you know that it exists because you can feel it but you CAN'T feel God, you can't taste, smell, touch, or see God, it's just nothing. You CAN taste, smell, feel the air wind.

Well Not saying a god isn't a possibility. But I sure don't believe in anything worshiped by humans. There are 1000,s of religions right now being practiced, along with the tens of thousands that are no longer practiced. Just doesn't make sense. Zeus wasn't real. Thor wasn't real etc.. etc..

Besides that each religion seems to be far to human centric when we are but a tiny fraction of a tiny percentage of the life on this planet that sits in a solar system, that sits in a galaxy full of trillions of star systems many far grander then ours. Oh and that galaxy we are in just so happens to be 1 out of, what seems to be an infinite number of other galaxies(Again ours is small). Ya so It's hard for me to get behind a story or book that puts our tiny stupid species at the for front of importance of all that.

Give this video a try (it's under an hour) and ignore the Buddhism (the terminology specifically). He has a grasp on what Buddhists call "shunyata" (suchness/voidness/thusness/emptiness/etc/etc) and the act of existing within it more than any modern Buddhist thinker (or non-thinker) I have encountered.

wind?

no but you can see it effects on the environment, and you can feel it as well

You're a moron

use your brain and leave me alone

I don't believe in a god, there is no evidence that supports there is one.

I'm not a religious person but I do believe in god.

Ofcourse I believe in God... I can't dislike something I don't believe in.

Not as fucked up as you may believe, but I admit I am some what demented.

What you are describing, "true faith", is the suspension of critical thinking. You don't want to put forth the effort of accepting something else. It's easier for you to accept whatever faith you believe in.

Okay fine I see your point in a way I do believe that air exists and I don't believe that the air argument is valid in this case. Theirs no proof God exists.
