Do you believe in God?

I've always believed in but never had faith in Him until I almost lost my son to drugs and the absolute last thing I could possibly do was to pray. And I prayed hard to a God I had no faith in and I begged Him to give my son back and He did. My son is clean, sober, working, has a house and his wife back. That's my testimony 🙏🩶

Yes, I believe in God, but not the "man made religion" that goes along with it. I believe in the Abrahamic God, but just the God that called Abraham out of Harran. The God before man made God what man wanted God to be. The God that has no name, no gender, no sexuality, and above all...................... no political party.
I believe that all religions are good because they all teach us to be a good person and care for our fellow man, and those less fortunate than ourselves. It's when mankind corrupts their gods through religion do we find gods of war, gods of hate and gods of genocide. It's nothing more than man not wanting to take responsibility for man's own corruption and placing the blame on an unexplainable entity.

I'm agnostic. I don't have enough evidence either for or against the existence of a deity or deities to have a solid belief. And I probably never will. But I'm keeping an open mind.

The why is that all of it is a construct of man... it's humankind's way of explaining what they don't understand and what they fear, replacing it with some benevolent but demanding and vengeful entity.

Yes.

Yes, I am a Christian. I have known 3 people that had near death experiences and have seen the other side. I have no doubt God exists.
Our reverend at our church does not use religion to justify anything. He constantly preaches love one another. God loves every one. He preaches accountability. Do the right thing. Learn to forgive.

I believe in nature, that’s my religion

No I don’t. It does give people something to hold onto when they get older, so believing is not all bad. But it gives religious leaders a license to kill, so it’s not so good either.

Yes, I am a Christian.

Yes.

In something, but not a God in way everyone thinks.

Greeks all had different Gods

Then there is Buddhism and Australian Aboriginal mythology

I mean I can go on and on. So people view of God has always changed. Some cultures have a God for each element. Like a God for Water and a God for land and so on.

You see my point, so I really don't know what to believe in.

But I'll tell this I used to go church regularly, study the Bible and read other versions of the Bible. One reason why, because I was forced to as a kid and young teenager. (I think some family member of mine was trying to persuade me into a life with the church)

I don't believe in the supernatural of any kind. I believe the universe came to be and is now due to natural laws and rational reasons. I don't see the need for a god to explain things.

In the "God" of the various mystics of all Faiths, yes. In the "God" as understood and believed in by those of a literalist/fundamentalist mindset, no.

It's really more that I have trust/faith that "all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well" (Mother Julian of Norwich in her "Revelations of Divine Love")

Some would call such a "wishy washy soft soap" God. But if taken seriously, if Faith is real, then the call to be as "God" is - eternally reconciling and restoring - is a demanding call as we meet each day with our fellow human beings.

I want to, but if humans are God's greatest creation, I am not impressed.

Even the most faithful Christian is only that through the location of their birth and the nature of their culture. Most every Christian on here would be a Muslim who believed in a completely different God if they'd been born in, say, Saudi or Pakistan. Religious faith is dependent on geography.

The Old Man in the Sky God......



Ooops, sorry.......that's the old man on the beach.

I didn’t know “God” was still a thing.

Yes, in Jesus Christ.

Yes! I believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The God who created heaven and earth…and All that is therein.

As a metaphor for the laws of the universe I do. I don't think there's literally talking snakes. That's as loony as men having periods.

Of course I believe in God. There simply is too much evidence of His Existence to deny Him.

Nope, it doesn’t make any sense to me that there’s some magical being in the sky

Yes. But, if you dont, we can still be cool, different strokes for different folks.

My god is the sun. One doesn’t have to believe in that.

Yes this universe is testament to that belief.

No, not in the way it is constructed in today's religions and societies as some all powerful being. Beyond that I do not give any thought to a higher power, either there is or there is not, but seems futile to spend time and life debating it, find out when we die I guess, maybe.

I don't think that any of the gods have an existence outside of our imaginations.

From an early age it was just obvious that gods weren't real.

I must admit that the un-coolness of religion also had an influence on my disbelief. It just seemed to involve dull people singing dreary songs. ;)

No but don't let that stop you.

I believe there is something bigger to all of this than we can comprehend or understand at this point. I don't believe in any organized religion though, no. They completely ruined my childhood and left me with lifelong issues.

I do believe in God.

Yes, I believe in a loving God that cares about me. I do believe the story of Adam and Eve is true and that there was a world destructive flood and that a man named Noah built an Ark because God told him to.

I grew up learning how to have faith in GOD . I have never rejected my faith so over the years it has gotten stronger . Those that do reject GOD or faith its harder for them to even think about it .

No, not structured religion as we know it today, however don’t be concerned about hostility from me. However I will stand my ground against those that seek to force their beliefs upon me.

No.

Not even when everything's going my way.

Not in the conventional or traditional sense

I'm agnostic about it.

No, not really.

I have my own religion made up by me, all religions are man made, so I made mine up too.

100%

Yes, and the most compelling reason: everything. We live in a fine-tuned universe. It's unrealistic to put that down to a null hypothesis. Clearly, work that allows us to be went into the fundamentals of science

Yes sort of.
I don't believe in the Abrahamic God though.

Yes....I do. There has to be something greater that we cannot comprehend. The complexities of life and of the universe are too great to ignore. There has to be an entity of some kind that our feeble minds cannot grasp. God or Creator has to be the answer in my view. Nothing can begin from nothingness. Even an atom has to come from something. To each his own, I guess.

I believe God is an alien

Absolutely! I can't even fathom how anyone couldn't. I mean seriously! Some bang made everything. Lol!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
