    I dont think there is a god and it is so depressing. We are just inteligant animals. I think we made up religion. becuase we all know death is coming, and we gave people hope saying theres a god. Theres no facts whats so ever to prove that there is. This billionare once siad "god didnt create us becuase we created god" Sorry to bring up something depressing but just want to know what everyone else thought.

    I don't know if God created us, or we created God, but I find comfort in the thought that there is a God out there. It helps me get through my day and the rough times. I may be wrong, but if I am it will be no big deal. I'll just die. I'd rather be safe than sorry!! ;)

    I know that's a stupid reason to beleive in God, and it's not my only one, but it IS a good philosophy.

    The Creation of Adam (1508-1512) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel has long been recognized as one of the world's great art treasures. In 1990 Frank Lynn Meshberger, M.D. described what millions had overlooked for centuries - an anatomically accurate image of the human brain was portrayed behind God. On close examination, borders in the painting correlate with sulci in the inner and outer surface of the brain, the brain stem, the basilar artery, the pituitary gland and the optic chiasm. God's hand does not touch Adam, yet Adam is already alive as if the spark of life is being transmitted across a synaptic cleft.* Below the right arm of God is a sad angel in an area of the brain that is sometimes activated on PET scans when someone experiences a sad thought. God is superimposed over the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain and possibly the anatomical counterpart of the human soul. God's right arm extends to the prefrontal cortex, the most creative and most uniquely human region of the brain.

    *Frank Lynn Meshberger, M.D., The Interpretation of Michalangelo's Creation of Adam Basilar Neuroanatomy, JAMA #14 October 1990

    It is all in the mind..

    Yea, but wouldnt you live your life so much differently if you knew there wasnt. I mean if you had proof. I think it just sucks that this life is it. Theres nothing to look foward to. Like people who get cancer, or something else. This life is it for them.

    I believe in God. It sounds kind of crazy to me when I hear people talk about explosions and scientific junk when they have no reasoning behind its existence. (Something had to invent the explosion and scientific stuff and God sounds the more plausible.) People that believe in nature believe in God, they just recognize the beauty and tranquility of his existence but they miss out on some of the other quality creation. This is my opinion but I don't believe in gods and goddesses. I believe in God the father, Jesus the son, and The Holy Spirit that makes God a trinity of three. (I maybe wrong but that's what I believe.) The reason I don't believe in gods and goddesses is simple, people that use them don't present a high standard of them and I can tell that by the lower case of the first letter. (Even your own name has an upper-case letter so why shouldn't the one you hold fondest to your heart have a superior first letter.)

    Nah, but I don't think its depressing.

    I feel liberated that I don't have to make up some theological 'daddy' figure for my life to have meaning.

    If there is a god, he at least doesn't give a shit, and is probably pretty incompetent.

    But if there isn't a god, this whole life thing seems a lot more fortunate and special. [​IMG]

    nope, I live my life every day as if it is my last. Some days are shittier than others to be my last, but that's life. I find great comfort in thinking there is someone out there with a little more power than me or any human. I don't need proof either. I like having faith in something. It keeps my heart warm.

    Read A Short History of Nearly Everything

    and if you still believe , good for you.. this book did not make me stop believing (as i never believed in the first place) so i could be a little prejudice about all this ..but it is still a good book anyway.

    I believe there is a God in spirit and life is what you make of it.

    Peace...
