is god real?

[Oisterman]

I believe there is something out there that is greater than all of us. Be it a cosmic force that keeps the balance of the universe, or yer traditional dude sitting on a cloud...theres something.

Remember, this is all my opinion, so please don't take this as instruction or fact.

"Praying" to this force isn't really going to make much of a difference IMO, but if it makes people feel better, more power to them. Sometimes its just nice to talk things out with anyone who will listen, right?

No, I believe that if you're a good person...good things will eventually come your way. Everyone has their fair share of good and bad shit, and its very easy to only remember the bad.

You woke up today, right? Your brain is functioning, your body isn't randomly giving out on you, theres air in your lungs, food in your stomach, and light for you to see with...but, its very easy to only notice the negatives. For example, my car had its power-steering fluid hose break today, and I'm gonna have to replace that. A minor annoyance, but I can't let it change the fact that I've had a pretty good day other than that.

Karma, I guess you could call it. Mother nature, whatever. Something.

IDK.

[MarchoftheBlackLions]

Yes. He's a bad mutha' fucker from around the way.


Do I know? Of course not.

Do I believe there is? Si.

Do I think he's some old white guy with a beard just calling shots? Not necessarily.

similar to how i feel about the situation.

[power_gamer_6]

As a concept; yes, God is real.

As a metaphysical/spiritual entity, that's uncertain; but so far signs point to no.

[Avarwen]

I don't know I wasn't there when the universe was made so how could I know. I don't worry about what there or what's not there I'm just going to live my life the best that I can and go from there. I've found that sitting trying to figure out if there's a God or not is a waste of time and energy. So I have no feelings either way.

[birdman16]

It really depends on what you think...

Either way. it shouldn't matter... just live and be good to yourself and others.

And as oister somewhat mentioned, just be greatful to be alive and breathing.. even though I am Catholic.. its not fair to try and "convert" others and go all crazy Christian on someone for not "believing"

Just be good

[Imperidal]

Yep. I believe in God. Because of God, i have a purpose to live and die.

[Cingal]

Not for me, no.

Never have.

Was never brought up with the idea. I didn't encounter the concept of a deity until I was like 10 or something.

The idea just never struck with me I guess.

[IronyTaken]

Education does not permit me to believe in such stuff.

[axora]

I'm not a man to pretend to know something I don't but so far in my 18 years of living I have came to the conclusion that there has to be something that started the universe. But making sure that people who are good are rewarded and those who are bad are punished is something man has decided to teach because of our want to be idolized by a greater power and the fact that no one can prove it makes it all the more beliveable somehow.

Think about it, the bible was written by a guy who was talking to a burning bush for all we know he was a stoner who wrote the best selling book of all time.

[Oisterman]

For the record, Jesus didn't write the Bible man.

Burning bush = moses.

There is no evidence to suggest that there is a god, therefore no reason to believe in a god. There is evidence against certain gods, therefore there is reason to not believe in those gods.

[Zaadis]

I'm not touching this topic with a ten foot pole, way to much could go wrong with peoples opinions on this topic.

[Eladon]

No.

That is all i would like to add.

[EpicPhail]

In my opinion, no.

I believe in some princaples, like Karma but in a more abstract sense.

If you submit negative energy into ANYTHING that energy will never disipate. It creates a negative feed back loop of negative energy, witch may or may not harm you or someone you know in the future.

I believe good comes onto those who do good, but not because of some crazy god.

[kreams]

i guess you could call me atheist. I my self, do not believe that there is a man sitting on clouds telling everyone that you can or cannot go to hell based on your actions from when you were alive.

When i was younger my grandmother told me that if you do bad things you will go to hell.(Crazy mean old ***** btw.) And i think that her burning that though into my mind is what makes me believe there is not a "God" or a "Heaven" or even a "Hell" but more of a peace full place you go when you die. A place in your own memories you happiest moments in life.

As far as who created the earth and animals and all that religious mumbo jumbo.
its simple some rocks smashed together in space that has some or the right chemicals in it to make shit live and created what we have now

and how did the universe come to be? well

beats the hell outa me but who really gives a dam anyways its not like ur gonna undo it or something

[birdman16]

Thing is.. we don't know what created what.. or whatever happened..

Why were we put here? is what we should be asking
