Tell Me Why I Should Believe In A "god" - Open Discussion/opinions

benzkids
ok
i kinda belive in god, i have explained y in another post and i don't want to get yelled at by moderators

i will tell you why and why you shouldn't

you should believe in god because it is always nice to belive in something and that something created you and your mum and your grandmother and so on.if you feeling really down and no one will talk to you who do you talk to if you don't belive in god.

but then it raises the question, if god created you, what created god. this is why you shoudl not belive in god.

i have been thinking about this topic fro a very long time now (about 2 years) and i belive i have came to a conclusion.
there is no god.

if there was god there would be no world hunger and thrist because the bible says that if you belive in god you will live well.
i bet the people over in africa belive in god alot and they don't get food. we have to give them food.

when i think about this topic i also think about the dinosaurs.
we have alot of proof the dinosaurs exicted, but why anrn't they in the bible.

so yer think about that

I personally cannot tell you why you should or should not believe in god. The main reason is that I am not you, and therefore I refuse to hound you into believing something just because I do. If you feel no connection to a "God" of any kind, then that is okay, a lot of people don't. I personally don't. If you really are in search for a religion of any kind, I'd suggest you simply read up on every Religion you can find, and maybe you will find the one that best fits you, but maybe you wont and thats really okay. Some people have this immense 'connection' or faith in God, and they assume just because they feel it, that everyone else does and should feel it too, which is untrue and frustrating. Just believe in whatever *you* feel is right.

Goosestaf, I like the way you phrased your question.

It allows me to step over the minefield of “Is there a God? Yes or no? Answer me and answer me, now!”

Belief structures provide excellent entertainment, but stifle a full-time productive lifestyle.

Can you think of one belief structure that doesn’t require hours of study time? Every belief structure is an investment in time. Eventually, most will reach into your savings account. But hey! That’s okay, if you’re having fun, meeting highly delusional people or working on a stand-up, comedy act.

There’s the entertainment value.

And another thing… there’s no guilt.

You are not hurting these people. People immersed in belief structures are swimming in a pool of illusions and delusions. Generally, when they reach out to you, it’s not for a hand out… it’s to pull you in. That should relieve you of any guilt.

But you don’t have to worry about being pulled down; even by a large group of believers, usually.

People standing on a firm foundation of thought are not so easily pulled off balance.

There: does that offer a little more clarity or did I just make things worse?

very good points.

I totatlly agree that some people will only find true faith after they've expereinced some spirituality.

I was a typical child, raised and brought up to be christian (church of england).
I did it because i was told too.
I don't know what made me start doubting the faith which i took for granted, but after a while i stopped declaring myself as christian and no longer carred for faith.

There have been momments in my life where i've just lost the will to live and not carred for much. I've sometimes even considered taking up faith again to give my life more meaning through dark times.
I even set foot in a church once with a few new friends, but could not deal with it so i left.

In my time of need an answer has always found me . . . .. if i was religious i would preach faith being the cause, but i've found secuirty in Fate.

Maybe faith would improve my life, maybe it wouldn't. I might find faith later in life . . .

Thanks for your input TrueFusion. much apprechiated


This exact same thing happened to me, but I was raised Catholic instead of christian. I even went to classes at church, and a lot of other things. I think that what made me start doubting was the people that formed part of this faith, and that I was forced to believe in this religion as I grew up and the ways that it has been used to manipulate people. I prefer to have the same beliefs, a one god, I pray and always give thanks to for everything I have. You can definitely feel some sort of peace and encouragement. I really recommend you joing a religion but stay away from fanatism, it is the worst thing in the world.

Simple really,
Tell me why i should believe in a God. . . and that means any religion.

Tell me why believing in a religion and a god will improve my life.

Look forward to many responses smile.gif

and no bashing/questioning other beliefs please. . . .. i will report any posts of such manner.


HEY DEAR YOU ARE MISTAKING! angel.gif
in the first place have you ask yourself why you are here? ok then i gues you will believe in the so call scientific illustrations on how man came to be
but all these are pure lies yes there is a God not god a true God that created all of us
before we begine if you will recall in the bible the world of the Loard said that in the begining God created heaven and earth so cant you ask yourself where this God comes from? well he lives in heaven he is the owner of all life! if God doesnt exist then all religion is just a wast because religion is the worship of supreme being lest i forget there are Gods and there is a God so in the world we are Some little Demons are the gods where as the whole creator is the Lord Jesus Christ
So dear dont be mistaken there is a true powreful God who owns this world and soon will come for it
thank you

    never buy, they may develop skills and abilities that would enable future revenue and loyalty. At
    the same, time a third world nation can have more development as skilled and trained professionals

    undoubtedly influenced Splinter Cell in one way or another, SC's game mechanics appeals to me
    more. Some may argue Splinter Cell is a bit slow and boring, but that's what I like about the
    game. The thought of sneaking behind guards, utilizing sweet gadgets, pulling off impressive
    maneuvers, becoming the shadow itself, ultimately draws me in over Metal Gear. Don't get me wron....
