Do you believe in GOD?
This may be a very touchy subject for some, but as most people on SEN are young, there is really no way someone could be offended from this question. I was just wondering what discussions could come up on this, because I believe in Evolution, and just wanted to here other people takes on it. I believe in Evolution because I look at the facts of science and I dont believe myths.
Another view on it. If people say GOD saves us. Where the hell was god when the World Trade Centers were ran into, where is he when the war is going on in Iraq, and any other big issue in the world. Then some people say that god protects us. Well last Hurricane Season was a bad one and I dont think he is doing a great job of protection.
Just wanted to see others points of view!

Here are my two ideas
1. God is the idea of good government, the idea of being watched every moment to appeal to ultimate fairness and other good morale ideas. The bible was a guide to following the good morales presented in the idea of God.
2. God is the ultimate creator wielding great power and heeds men to follow his morales or be struck into hell or purgatory. Only by obeying his ideas can eternal life in heaven awaiting abiders of his will. The bible is the record of when God’s son came to earth to die for men’s sins (and other stuff) so people could be enter the kingdom of heaven and leave purgatory.
How could life go on if everything is just matter? God is an answer although naturally people make stories to explain that they don’t understand. *Example* Lightning was thought to be when the god(s) were angry
How could so many people worship a god false or any God if God(s) aren’t real? I don't know because really people wouldnt have started to worship god and the bible if there wasnt a Jesus that came to earth and nobody could of made the whole thing up and make it such a world wide thing.
The concept is challenging...
About hurricane katrina and new orleans my church group belives the flood was to wash the corruption out...similar to what happen when the world flooded and moses was on the ship and that story....my group went down to new orleans and every person talked to was christian so it did wash out everyone but the christians (or close enough)
