How sure are you that God exists?

[N[U]TS]

you cant prove the christian god is fake...... so just stop there.

We will see who is right and who is wrong when judgment day or the end of the world comes.

 

[PsYcHoSiD77]

Well I personally believe that there is no god, but even if there is I'm not really all that worried, a lot of things that I enjoy doing I would not be able to do in Heaven, nor would I have any friends there. People say hell is such a horrible place, but if all the things you do to get there are so much fun, who says hell wouldnt be fun? haha, just my two cents

For me i very much so believe in god.

I am sure you know that 99.9% of dust is made up of your dead body cells? well in the bible it says God made you from the dust. Also did you know that science started off in the churches? People used science to better understand Gods mysterious ways.
I guess some people just branched off to disprove there was a god. really what it all boils down to is how much faith you have.

as for me i am 90%

They branched out because they were being perscuted for everything that might not be in the bible. Galilleo was marytred for saying the earth was round and rotated around the sun...

you know that guy was in "the count of monte cristo." I knew that picture looked familiar. then i saw it when he was in the jail with the beard and i was like jesus.

anyway... I was talking about this movie with a catholic person and an atheist(like myself) at work the other day and she (the catholic) said that when Jesus died God got angry and started crushing houses of rulers and earthquakes and all that. Then i asked why he did that. She replied.

"God was angry they killed his son." To which i replied. "If God sent jesus to earth to die for our sins it wouldn't of surprised him that they killed him. When you send someone to die its not like it won't be pretty." The other atheist laughed and said he had a point. I think the bible contridicts itself way to much to be true.

 

[borednerd]

Although jesus asked god to forgive the people that were about to kill him, because they did not know what they were doing.

Plus, ive never heard the part were

God got angry and started crushing houses of rulers and earthquakes and all that.

 

[Lights]

Well, there was supposedly an earthquake and the whole sky turned black. That and the temple was at least partially destroyed.

I'll keep on bealiving in my puppy dog flying through space that you can't prove or disprove either.

If you truly believe in the bible, you would believe what Bishop Usher studied the bible and came to the conclusion that in order of the bible to have been correct, it would of been the year 4004 B.C. Now, what do we know that's older than that? Rocks and fossils. Hmm...

Why am I positive God exists?
















Faith.

Whoever this woman is, she sounds like an idiot

True, I guess you can't really disprove it since we haven't been through all of space and I personally haven't been in space at all. However, you can say that there's pretty convincing scientific evidence that shows this would not be possible, based on the fact that we know dogs (assuming you are talking aboutthe type of dogs found on earth) require oxygen to survive and there is no oxygen in space. So you could provide at least some proof that this is not possible. However, so far I have not found any considerable proof that God does not exist. Then again, there's really no considerable proof that he does. What you believe is based on your own opinions and the way you choose to interpret your personal experiences. The whole idea of religion is faith.

Why am I positive God exists?

Faith.

Can you really be 100% positive? And if you are, why are you? That was the whole point of my question, for people to give a percentage and then back it up with actual opinions.

i think the bible is exaggerated

Yeah...no kidding

 

[Troa]

Stigmata

I believe pretty strongly that God does exist. Reading about cases of stigmata makes me belive even more. What do u all think about stigmata?

 

[minny]

you know...the bible is bullshit.. its all told by humans for humans. the bible is just a big exageration like the tale of the fish getting bigger each time a villager told the next and the next and soon it becomes a monster now known as the lochness monster . well anyway that doesnt mean God doesnt exist. to have to create matter from nothing you need a infinate sorce of energy...and people belive that to be God.

Nietzsche said that God was once a man... meaning god was kind of a Buddha type thing. Also meaning he didn't create the world he didn't creat man, he just created the ethics of Chrisitans or Catholics. I think that is more reasonable then all of the other things.

I think life was created from a single cell that evolved over time and time. Just like evolution. A rock hit earth and the spark gave what the cells needs. It just went slowwer and less funny, even though the movie wasn't that funny.

 

[Rhyotion]

If there is no god, why would it hurt to believe in him? Nothing really matters does it?

 

[shutupandgoaway]

I believe very strongly in the existance of God, both from reason and personal revelation. I know it sounds like bullshit, you really don't need to tell me again, cuz I've heard that many times over. I wish someone who doesn't believe in God, and who can actually argue intelligently, would grace this thread with a real statement of why they believe it, and I'll argue aboot it all day. To show good faith, I'll state the philosophical reasons I believe in God, as I know as well as any intelligent person does that my personal experience proves absolutely nothing, and any changes in my life can't be used as proof for the existence of God to people who don't know me.

I believe in God for several reasons. First, because the world exists. Something had to have either intelligently designed the world, or have set into motion the sequence of evolution. By the way, I don't believe in evolution, but I'm smart enough to realize that evolution in no way refutes belief in God and that it's really not that big of a threat to Christianity, which is a point that much of the Christian establishment could do well to take. Secondly, because of absolutes I believe in God. This one is more complex, so bear with me. People are born with a sense of right and wrong. If you don't believe in that, I can prove that to whoever disagrees, but for now I'll take it as a universally accepted principle. Wise people before Christ have come to the same ethical, social, and philosophical principles as Christ's teachings held to be true, without influence of the Hebrew nation. The fact that everyone knows certain things to be right and wrong shows that there is either some sort of extremely odd evolutionary thing, or that God implanted certain laws into our mental makeup. These are, I believe, the two strongest philosophical reasons for which I believe in God. There are others, and the entire field of personal experience, but I can't defend them as well as I know how to defend these two.

 

[Speaker]

How sure are you that God exists?

[Faith] I dunno...but look at my sweet @$$ HTML! [/Faith]

 

[Forged]

I think there might be a diety and an afterlife of some kind, but not the one mentioned in the bible.

 

[RuneyPoo]

I believe god exists, but that isn't where we all came from in my mind... So 100% On god exists, but for basically people saying that God created earth...

I am 100% on science that it pretty much created itself, so there what I am saying... And we can from bacteria/organisms...

i think the one thing that makes me believe that there isn't a god is how he can let so many bad things happen to the one's he "loves" and that free will crap doesn't sit well with me.

I have been burnt before and it sucks gonads, but being burnt alive must just be the worst thing, cause its not like human skin is flamable at first touch.

and if god is real is that the kind of God that you want to follow. Some one who lets his "children" burn because he wants one man to have free will. I think its bullshit.
