    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

    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.

    Education does not permit me to believe in such stuff.

    My god is whatever initiated life. I'm not sure if it's an extra-planar being, a type of force that still exists now or dissipated after the creation of the first forms of life, or something I cannot fathom currently without someone else giving a description that I agree with.

    It is foolish to blindly decree that life has always existed since the creation of this plane. However, it is also foolish to believe assumptions as fact, to the point that one defends the specifics of one's religious icon with zeal.

    With that said, I do not believe in any religions (save perhaps deism for being one of the only truly iconoclastic religions).

    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.

    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.

    Uh, yea, forgot that there are those morons who believe that for the sake of finding the idea funny.

    Also:
    Those people who say that they think god exists but also say they can't say what he is supposed to be like, what he supposedly does, or why they came to the conclusion are ridiculous.

    I can't say I believe in God, but I really don't mind if you do. Assuming of course you use his name to be a kind, generous human being, and not radical or preachy to me or those who think differently than you.

    I don't think god is real they have no proof or seen god person like create the earth. Not sure if jesus has some magical powers that suddenly make the whole world. Earth was made in 10–20 million years ago probaly before jesus was born. Bible looks fake tellings lies

    It seemed to me that oister was implying that the guy who saw the burning bush was Jesus. I don't think that either jesus or moses wrote the bible, I think it's much more likely that both of them are fictional, or (very) loosely based on real people.

    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.
