Do you believe in God and why? (Poll)

I don't but i was raised a catholic. I stopped believing when i was around 13-15 because it never made much sense to me, but recently religion started to really bother me after reading parts of the Bible that sounded completely off.

no, I'm just not the kind of person to believe in something without evidence.....yoshi-lnex

"Atheism" in Wikipedia:

According to a study by Paul Bell, published in the Mensa Magazine in 2002, there is an inverse correlation between religiosity and intelligence. Analyzing 43 studies carried out since 1927, Bell finds that all but four reported such a connection, and concludes that "the higher one's intelligence or education level, the less one is likely to be religious or hold 'beliefs' of any kind."

I believe in God because the real evidence points toward Gods existence

Whats the real evidence?

I really don't know what to believe. I'm constantly reevaluating my stance on this issue.xXBuffJeffXx

That's kind of like me. But something tells me that god is real. Think about how we're made. Try to pick up something without using your thumb. It's possible,but very difficult. Think about our bodies,about how every organ serves a purpose. We have two ears,so that we can hear things from both sides. Think about all this,and something will probably click and say that were were created. It didn't all just appear,or happen by chance. If you really believe in god,then you view his creation as evidence.

On the other hand,there are facts that go against it as well. Think about outer space. There are billions of more galaxies,and yet the Milky Way is the only one that has life,as some say? If there is other life out there,do they worship the same god? And if there isn't any other life out there,then why in gods name would god create such a large amount of space when only Earth supports life? This goes for the planets in our solar system. What purpose do they really serve? Why did got create them? But,think,who named the planets? The Earth is the only planet not named after a god,so did we name the other planets Mercury,Venus,Mars,ect.?

The truth is out there,maybe.

I would only believe in god if the bible doesnt refer to him as "The All-Righteous Being" Because Sending someone to hell..........isnt very righteous.
Or if the bible admits that god didnt create the ENTIRE universe. because if he did, then who created him?
and what happened to all the humans BEFORE Jesus came to save us? Were they all just screwed? If the devil used to be an angel, why did god make him the ruler of Hell? shouldnt he have just SENT him to hell?Rabid_Moogle

If god could send us anything, why doesnt he send us a better number than 0? or 1/3. (these numbers are messed up, seriously.)Rabid_Moogle

I do. The reason behind it is I believe there's more to this life than what we can see and touch. I understand a good deal of the Bible, and I (try to) follow it and learn from it. This kind of question is like... why do you like the taste of carrots? You just do... it's pleasant and makes you feel good.Taxpaying_Acorn
