Why do you believe in a God or religion? I personally can't. I think you would have to be insane to because it doesn't make any sense to me.

How does it make sense to the rest of the world?

It doesn't.

Well it does, but not to the whole world, only to some of them.

I don't believe in gods..., you know why, maybe this is the same reason you had "I never seen one, or never see any proofs that gods do exist"

If you were raised reading the Torah, you'd be a practicing Jew.

Meaning you've had the "message" of the Bible hardcoded into your brain.

It's all relative.

Aurora, is there any reason you capitalize random letters, or words?

And if God's if god had ANY proof of existance, it'd be a whole lot easier for me to believe in him, but naturally, I'm not going to believe something some people made up over 5 centurys ago.

Being agnostic, I have trouble understanding why people believe something there isn't a shred of real proof for.

I believe in god, but I didn't used to. It's a choice you make. It makes me feel better. I was once cynical and demanded proof, but being cynical all the time is bad for you. I got tired of it. Believing there's a god brings me peace, and no one can take that from me.

QUOTE(Doodan @ Feb 11 2006, 11:44 PM)

this is one of the best answer someone could give about the subject..

it makes me understand exactly why you believe in god.. and why its the right thing to do if i were you..

personally i dont think i need a god.. i just believe in myself.. im my own god (im not saying that i think im god or w/e.. im just saying the god who owns me and stuff and like i believe in is just myself..)

if i understand what u mean corectly.. ur god isnt really the god of a religion.. its more like.. what you think of god..

i dont know how to say it really.. anyway.. just tell me.. do u believe in a religion and the god related to that religion.. or just "god"?

Thats not true. We can prove Jesus existed because a jew who didn't think he was the messiah wrote about Jesus.

Having God actually makes sense. There has to be a begining to time, so God had to create it.

I think there is proof Jesus existed, just no proof he was the messiah, or the son of God.

This is absurd. It's just conforming to the idea of God, not the possibility. Simply because something exists does not mean a specific thing or entity created it.

I must ask you this: If believing in god is conforming, then isn't NOT believing in god conforming as well? For the record, I was never converted. No one talked me into anything. It was a choice I made. Plus, I don't go to church or anything, I sort of follow my own rules of "being good".

I wasn't say believing in God is conforming, I was saying that believing that God is the only rational explanation for the universe is itself irrational.

Oh, I see. Yeah, you're right. One thing I always consider (because I think it would be insane not to) is the possibility that I might be wrong. I can't stand people who think their opinion is the bottom line, no matter what their beliefs are. How can a simple human know the answer? No matter what you think, you should always keep in mind that you could be wrong.

I guess the difference with atheists is that we're willing to take the 'risk' of a possible 'afterlife.'

Precisely. So there was a guy named Jesus who lived about 2006 years ago, so what? It doesn't prove anything about God. We also know that Muhammad was a real person.

Easier to just go with the flow than to demand proof of everything. Same reason magicians have a job, and that the world has BASE jumpers.

Everything is conforming to everything, the sooner everyone realises that, the sooner we'll be better off.

That's also my religious philosophy.

Couldn't you just not believe in God and follow the exact same rules? I'm not telling you you shouldn't believe in God, I'm just saying you can accomplish the exact same thing without the idea of God.
Its not that I dont believe in God, its just that I dont care if he exists. I find it impossible to follow a relgion though, because... Why? Whats the religion for? It used to be for control (to control the masses), and maybe before that to possibly just scare people into being good (which is alright because they wanted people to be good). But now, we have laws and moral value that replace religion. What is religion exactly for nowadays?

The only purpose of religion nowadays is as an excuse for disliking people/hurting people/killing people/making wars(Killing lots of people)

Reported for what?

I have stationed myself an arguement position in a serious discussion forum.

I find it interesting that I am being reported for disagreeing with you.
