why do you believe in god?

why do you believe in god?

 

because it comforts me. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but if I'm right, I'll reap the benefits!

 

I believe in God for many reasons.

Jesus died for me so I can be forgiven of my sins and live a richer fuller life. My life has been richer and I have lived a fuller life. I have happiness and contentment in my life where I didn't have it before I truly believed. I have learned how to Trust and I have learned how to Forgive. I have also learned how to Love.

I can go on and on but I'll stop here.

Welcome to the Forums winston. Nice to meet you.

 

Oh please get a friggin life.
There is no such thing as a ''GOD''
Nothing came more easier to man than to invent
God and heaven.
All religion is the worse thing that man has ever created.

 

So what do you believe in NEMISIS?

 

I know people who take religion super serious (as in becoming an evangelist) get son people's nerves, and some times people take it to the extreme and have religios wars and crap, but I know I personally don't harm anyone with my faith. I don't push others to beleive and I respect people who don't.

So a little respect to people who do ain't a bad thing.

 

Nothing. Absolutely nothing to do with religion.

 

I don't have a religion and I don't believe in any god or goddess.

 

There is no reason why, because I don't.

 

I actually dont believe.

I live a richer fuller life. My life has been richer and I have lived a fuller life. I have happiness and contentment in my life where I didn't have it before I truly believed. I have learned how to Trust and I have learned how to Forgive. I have also learned how to Love.

but I dont need a god for all of this.

I have faith in myself and that all I need.

Thanks for your posts!

 

personal reasons

 

Care to elaborate.?
Are your parents religous or believe in God as well.???
I wonder.????????

 

there must be a god, or there would not be a M***y

 

Because I've meet him...

He told me to buy stock in Enron right before it went under.

Then I had an Epiphany.... there is a god.

And he hates me.

He probably hates you too.

 

Perhaps you misunderstood? He could have meant 'sell'.

 

Don't stick up for him.

If we're going to be friends you gotta make a choice between me and 'that guy'.

 

because i always have. i don't come from a religious family, and i'm not particularly good at not "sinning" simply because i think a lot of shit in the bible was politically inspired, not god inspired. because i sense there's more to what i see than what i see. i choose to follow the peaceful teachings of christ, those of forgiveness (even of my own imperfections), charity, love and personal sacrifice. therefore i call myself a christian. god is pretty, god is spiritually whole, god is the ideal of everything: physical, emotional, spiritual. god is a place, time, entity and state of mind.

 

Well considering I don't believe that he exists to begin with, I don't see how there is a problem. I sure wish I had sold my enron stock.

 

Honestly though, I don't believe in god.

I'm not one of those 'boo hoo my parents didn't buy me a playstation so theres no god' atheists though... thoses kids are kinda annonying.

I don't feel any need to try and convert anyone.

I'm a Buddhist.

 

I fogiveith though for thy inperfections too my child.

Look upon me, and know me.

My grace shall comfort thee.

Yay.
