Do you belive in God?

My belief wasn't born of fear. Mine was from love of life. Anyone that believes in God has doubt and anyone that says they don't has doubt that there could be.

As like your quote says beleif is fallible...I believe my girlfriend is cheating. I believe my mother and father are great people. I beleive I can do it if I put my mind to it etc.

[QUOTE="LILSMUCK"]

yes I do and I don't understand how people don't. Every atheist is a believer on there death bed.

please I do not want to debate, I answered the question

Really? What about George Carlin?

Srsly, dude, I gotta invoke ECREE here.

It was sort of a joke, but Georgie was a. . . . . . .emphatic* atheist. >_>

You said every Atheist is a believer on their death bed. That means you feel people believe out of fear. I agree with you.

[QUOTE="domatron23"]No, because the evidence for God's existence is not compelling and a naturalistic account of the world makes far more sense to me. It also makes sense to me why a strong belief in God would exist amongst people.Theokhoth

I think I love you.

Why's that? It's because I'm sexy isn't it!!! No I wont let that happen! *scars face with butchers knife*

There I did it! Can you still love me now?

A fair and balanced statement....

We could use more of these, I have a large wall to cover.

Yes, I believe in God and No, I wasn't brainwashed.

Great point!

An atheist I am.

Funny talking FTW.

Very much so.

That said, he is NOT some thundering old geezer in the sky who pitches people to Hell on a whim.

How do you know?

I certainly believe in a God, or some variety of transcendent authority. I like how Voltaire put it:

"Morality is everywhere the same for all men, therefore it comes from God; sects differ, therefore they are the work of men."

Of course, he also said

"Every sensible man, every honorable man, must hold the Christian sect in horror."

Was he around a little bit before the French Revolution? I remember reading about him in my history book.

IMO, it is illogical to believe the earth has existed forever. With that in mind, I think something making everything makes more sense then nothing making everything.battlefront23

A lot of atheists and agnostics wouldn't disagree with you there.

Personally, I don't believe in a god but I don't disbelieve in a god. I used to be a very strict Christian but I've abandoned my Christian beliefs simply because I think it is presumptious to believe in a god to the point where I would have to create my own god in order for it to exist and to confirm my beliefs and morality. I still go to church virtually every week but I still don't believe a lot of what I recite. If people believe in a god out of a necessity and do it in good cause, I have no problem with it, but I don't like it when people corrupt the name of any god, pagan or not, for their own self-serving needs.

Wouldn't disagree? Then what other theory is there for the earth's beginning?

The Big Bang theory.

Wait I think I said that wrong then. In my original post I meant to say the universe.

But then there was only space. Where did the molecules come from? (atoms, molecules, particles, w/e the smallest matter is. I don't remember the term and I'm not in school right now so Idc. :P)

It must have been a very massive point. (I'm a Christian but my point is not to argue but to understand the theory more just in case you guys are wondering.) Why would it decompose?

Impossible to say for sure what the size of the point was, but it was likely relatively small. I compare a neutron star. It's a star that is so densely packed with mass that a spoonful would weigh several tons. This helps me to visualize the state of the matter, all fixed on one point.

I hear you. I believe thats the why the Bible purposefully refers to God as the Alpha and Omega so many times.

I just do not see matter doing something as complex as that.

I believe in God because that's how I was raised and it's been along the lines of my family for generations.

I've only heard one reference to it being a continuous cycle, and even then, such a notion barely qualifies as a hypothesis. No educated person is claiming that it works that way, to the best of my knowledge.PannicAtack

I could be wrong, but I think I heard some famous antitheist (maybe Richard "Dicky" Dawkins) support the idea. . . .
