| | Yeah this is the only thing I'd like to know! Is he a big old man with a beard somewhere above us (interstingly what is UP on one side of the earth is DOWN on the other side of it - so where is God then if we point up there?)??? Is he inside of us? Are we all a part of god? Is God present in everything that surrounds us?
Isn't it interesting that GOD is very close to GOOD? Maybe it is a metaphore for being and doing GOOD things?? That is something we have inside of us - every normal human being has this feeling for what is good and bad and is tryin' to follow the good..if we don't do good things we feel bad - is that a coincidence? Or is maybe that the GOD "GOOD" that is inside of everyone of us?
Please write down WHAT IS GOD IN YOUR OPINION?? PLAIN AND SIMPLE.. |

God is pure Spirit. He's unbegotten. But to tell you the truth, He's over 99 good things. If i were to take the time to write down everything He is, it would take me a long while, and even then i might have not written everything that He is. Maybe someone else can write all 99+ down  . Eventhough we say "He", He's not male nor female, at least that's what i heard. Though, it makes sense since He's pure Spirit. The three main attributes that are Him are: Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. These three attributes no one else can have without God giving it to them. But, this is just my short opinion based on facts.

God is the product of the human mind and IMHO does not exist. What we understand as God was initialy the byproduct of the fear of death inhibiting us all and what comes afterwards. Of course over time it has massively evolved and is now a convenient way for poeple to avoid dealing with questions they can't answer. Most poeple believe in whatever form of religion has been thought to them and they are willing to completely ignore reason when it comes to their faith everybody thinks he's right and when poeple think they're right it usually ends in war; always has and always will for as long as God is more than merely a relic of the past.

QUOTE(Blacklaser @ Jun 12 2006, 05:21 PM)  God [...] does not exist. God exists, i bare witness to it. Anyone who truly believes, God makes Himself known to them. It's not blind faith. Many have their own stories on how God has made Himself known to them. I, too, have my own. Anyone who doesn't believe, God may not make Himself known. Sometimes, He does make Himself known to "non-believers". Just, many don't notice it. It's how God works. Those that know God, know this. Those who have eyes to read, let them read.

The term God is used to designate a Supreme Being; however, there are other definitions of God. For example: *Many religious and philosophic systems consider a God to be the creator of the universe. *Some traditions hold that the creator of the universe is also the sustainer of the universe (as in theism), while others argue that their God is no longer involved in the world after creation (as in deism).*The common definition of a God assumes omnipotence, omniscience and benevolence. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God

God is the creator of the universe , God isn't surely not an old man, he isn't human, he is everything, and anything. Where he is? He isn't in the sky nor in heaven, he is everywhere and anywhere. He comes to the skies of the earth once a year. He is immortal, and has great powers. He say to something be, and this something obeys. He can do whatever he wants and know everything even when a certain person will die.

Everything is God, if most people's definition is to be believed. God is, depending on who you ask, a 'supreme being' a 'higher power' or a 'higher form'. Man is a 'higher form' than an ape, therefore to the ape man is God. Also, God, being the Creator of man, made man in His image. God breathed life into man, so man has a part of God within. The Bible says He gave us power to become the sons of God. Jesus is the son of God - yet Jesus IS God if you follow that theology. Therefore, we are ALL God.

God is a fictional character invented by man to fill a gap in their life. Without god, people had no direction and were to primitive to think. After such a long time, people seem to think they see god in everyday life. They attribute coincidence or irregularities in their life as the work of god. Why is this? because there are still people out there who NEED to have something that is greater than them. This is a sign of a weak spirit and a weak mind. These weak people need someone to tell them how to live their lives and to tell them what is right and what is wrong. God does not exist.

What is God... one of the few questions you just don't ask. According to various bibles, God apparently created the earth. So for a random theory I just invented, God is your mind. That sounds a little weird, but let me explain the logic. God created the world, which is beautiful, right? Do you think the world is beautiful? Or Ugly? Which ever you think is the way you see the world, and thus you created, in your mind, the way the world is, or at least how your mind sees it. So in reality everyone creates their own world. Sure the actual world is a template for that, but your mind is still doing it. Life is all a mind game. Two people in the exact same life can be opposites. One depressed and miserable and the other the happiest person in the world. It all depends on how they see the world, their attitude, just how their mind perceives the world around them.

What is God? Good Question... Althought I do not agree with L. Ron Hubbard about anything but this, he put it beautifuly... " If you want to become rich for nothing, Start a religion" (something to that effect, I fail to remember the exact wording) "God" is what we as humanity choose it to be. I personally beleive that it is all a hoax, though I do not fully doubt the existence of an omnipotent being of some sort, I fail to see the validity of religion, other than a cheap parlour, smoke and mirrors operation to obtain wealth and power, and lastly control of global interests... If you havent already seen it, watch the movie, I did, and it not only backed my previously formed opinions, but showed me a dfew things as well...

Well, i dont personally believe that there is a god. But i think that god is not really a physical being, but something people believe in, for comfort, or whatever. Yet god is supose to be everywhere, so SURELY he or she (or neither) is not physical, but more like a thought. but more than a thought, like a shared though. But thats my opinion.

we'll the basic sunday school answer is "god is the alpha the omega the beginning and the end" god created the world that's what i believe as to what he is i dont think he's a spirit or a a person or some made up fictional charecter he is what he is and he is god no specific "specie". this friday at school a "theory" was brought to my attenting what if god is a multy demention being that live on the 11th demention this makes since each demention would give more "power" but i'd realy rather not go into that. QUOTE How did God come to be? Where did God come from? god did not come to be anything he always was and still is he did not come from anywhere he was alwayse there. stop asking that question you will always get the same answer just like if i ask about evolution i should get the same answer. QUOTE Based on the evidence each of us personally has seen and experienced we either chose to believe or not too. I chose not too, but even if I did believe in God, somebody who creates something as wicked as mankind is not somebod y I would be proud to pray too... befor you start bashing beleives you should first do some reaserch to understand the wholew story. here's a very badsic form of it: god created men and women in his image "good" he put them in the garden told them not to eat the fruit of of knowledge and eternal life and an "evil" being saten saduced them into eating the fruit in other words they disobeid god AKA a sin which is evil. in other words mankind was not created as wicked but was turned wicked by a wicked being. QUOTE "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don't. Q.E.D."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
this is with out a dount one of the dumbest think i've ever read ("I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." ) there has been so much instences that some one asked god to prove to them of his excistenc and he has, so that was a super extra dumb satement ____________________________________________________________ as for evolution and the bigbang theory especialy. yah they all make "sence" but one thing that no one realy never answered is where it all started all these make no sence it just contradicts all the scientists own beleives. mass/energy can not be created or destroyed those are laws and obviouly thos laws where brocken, well by what by who so you mean to telll me these laws where brocken by accident or was it when god created the world these rules where put forth and never brocken again and wont be brocken until he decised they need to be brocken. ______________________________________________________________ QUOTE +-50,000 years ago a (cave)man sat and admired his new spear. His female companion(s) made clay pots, which he observed. He then stared at the landscape. A question occurred to him, "If men and women make the weapons, the pottery, the huts, the moccasins, who made the trees, the hills, the creatures that we hunt to eat?" He answered his own question, "Must be a..........very large man!" So gods were born, as the answer to the questions that men can't yet answer correctly. well last time i heard caves mens where not the brightest of creatures and i'd dount they'd have the brains to even second guess how things come to be or even care so no what you said makes no sence. QUOTE If there were gods, I'd reject them. I have no desire to be enslaved by a powerful alien from outer space. I support my species. see this is one thing i always encounter whenever there is a god is real argument or sorts it's when the only reason someone doesnt beleive is because they cant take the fact that there may be more to themselves then they think or that there may be "someone or something" that is more powerfull then they are they just cant seem to axcept the fact. and you're not enslaved genius. ____________________________________________________________ for those who dont beleive in christ go to church once not with a negative attitude but a posive and open to sugestion kind of attidute. you'll be there etheir thinking this is so stupid and laughing at everything the pastor says. or you will found a new love in christ. try it you never know what might happen.

Since you've asked this question in the 'debates' section, I'll state my piece. +-50,000 years ago a (cave)man sat and admired his new spear. His female companion(s) made clay pots, which he observed. He then stared at the landscape. A question occurred to him, "If men and women make the weapons, the pottery, the huts, the moccasins, who made the trees, the hills, the creatures that we hunt to eat?" He answered his own question, "Must be a..........very large man!" So gods were born, as the answer to the questions that men can't yet answer correctly. There is no god(s). No one religion is any more silly than any other. Do you laugh at Zeus and the Greek gods, but think Christianity is somehow less silly? It's all equal. If there were gods, I'd reject them. I have no desire to be enslaved by a powerful alien from outer space. I support my species.
