If you were to ask me if I believed in God then in order to answer your question I would require that you first define what you mean by 'God', otherwise we could be talking at cross purposes. Once you had done that I could then answer if I believe in the same concept of God that you do. I think that's obvious.

So why do people believe in God? This is a tough one, very complex. The main reason may well be because we were raised to believe in God. Then there is the church of course, reinforcing this belief, and the Holy Bible. Also add peer pressure- conformity within our social group, and just wanting to believe in order to give life a purpose or meaning. See Is there a reason for our existence?

What evidence do we have? In the purely scientific sense, none of course, but what can we take as 'supporting evidence' in a more general sense?

The Holy Bible? A collection of writings of various sorts from many different sources over a period of hundreds of years. None the less an impressive historical record. Not to be taken too literally of course, it was written in the language of the time for the people of the time, but interpreted with a modern approach to its meaning still yields much first class historical information. It is clear that a good many people believed Jesus to be the son of God and that he performed miracles. That Jesus actually existed seems highly probable. As to his being the son of God, that's another matter entirely. Many, many people over the centuries have made that claim, or claimed to be prophets of God, it doesn't mean they were. Jesus claimed that he was the son of God, but it doesn't mean he was, or that he even believed it himself. That thousands of his followers believed he was the son of God doesn't mean he was. People of that era believed in prophets and prophecies, they were desperately waiting for events to happen, just as prophesied. It is known that Jesus deliberately staged events in order to be seen as fulfilling prophecies. They saw 'signs' in everything which encouraged their expectations, a classic example of a 'self fulfilling prophecy'. The bible is very persuasive, but not proof, of the existence of God, but a very strong case for arguing for the existence of a man called Jesus.

Miracles? Let's put these into two categories, those in the bible and modern day miracles. Biblical miracles took place over 2000 years ago, you either believe they happened or you don't. We can't go back and 'test ' them. Todays miracles? What miracles? These come in many forms, ranging from 'impossible' recovery from terminal illnesses to 'narrow escapes'. The term 'miracle' is applied too loosely and too freely. A miracle, as defined in Collins New English Dictionary is: "a super-natural happening". Recovering from illnesses that had obviously been incorrectly diagnosed as terminal is not that uncommon, it is not 'super-natural', it is misdiagnosis and/or lack of knowledge of the bodies ability to heal itself. The fact that the recovery took place after a visit to Lourdes does not alter the fact that the 'dying' person would have recovered anyway if they had instead stayed at home and watched the Simpsons.

And what has happened to all those 'spectacular' miracles of 2000 years ago? Why did they stop? The seas do not part anymore to allow refugees to cross, the starving masses are not fed with a few fish. Why not?

I can not bring myself to believe in miracles. Either then or now. Also, think about it from a physical point of view. If God created the universe and all the laws of nature, do you think it possible that He can change those laws once they are in place? In just one location, for a brief period of time, and then change them back again? And all this having no lasting effect? The universe carries on just as before as if nothing had happened? Ok. Ok. I know what you're going to say, He can do anything! Personally I doubt that very much. If He can, why not feed the starving masses. He was happy to intervene in the past, according to the bible. Miracles of this sort, 'real 'miracles, have not taken place for over 2000 years, if we are to believe they ever took place at all. Odd that.

Perhaps there was a God once, perhaps there is now, perhaps there isn't. Maybe there never was one. Maybe it's all just wishful thinking. Perhaps if God ever did exist He doesn't exist now. Perhaps He died.

Has God Died? As to whether or not God existed in the past is open to debate. But is He here now? There is no indication that He is. No messages booming down from the sky, no miracles, no sign whatsoever. Why not? If He expects us to believe in Him, surely it is not asking too much that He gives us a sign every once in a while? Is it? To expect us to take it on trust for over two thousand years is asking a bit much. Perhaps He hasn't died, perhaps He can't, so where is He then? I suppose He could be busy elsewhere, making another universe or something. Doesn't seem very God-like to abandon us in this way though does it, we could use a little help just now. See Our final destiny, immortals

Heaven? I am going to raise a final question regarding God. If you believe in God then you presumably believe in heaven. Here is the question based on the belief that only good people go to heaven, as per the bible. Would someone born with a brain tumour that eventually caused them to become insane and commit murder be allowed into heaven.? If not, why not? They didn't chose to have a brain tumour. At what stage of development do we 'qualify' for judgment. At birth, before we have actually done anything? At one year of age or 22 weeks in the womb? Define 'bad'. It's all a bit arbitrary isn't it.

Heaven is something that I just can not accept as a sensible concept. ( Hope I'm right)!

Why do people demand evidence for a supernal aspect that has not provided any since the beginning of time aside from literature, art, and experience?

And for that matter why are we so quick to discount the experience of those who believe and have their roots in such an aspect?

Like is said above, its called Faith. Thats why people believe, although some consider it blind faith, but, let people believe what they want, and stop asking for proof.

Fear of death created most religions. Believing that there is a heaven after death makes their lives much easier to live without that fear. As for the evidence, you won't ever find any.

Scientifically, none. Or at least nothing compelling.

Religiously, they've all the evidence they'll ever need.

That's why faith is such a fundamental part of religion. There's very, very little, if any, physical evidence.

Given that fact, it never ceases to blow my mind that, in every other walk of life, people always demand empirical and unequivocal proof for something before they believe it to be true. Yet when it comes down to religion and all that jazz, so many of those same people seem to abandon this thirst for evidence without a second thought.

This shift in mindset makes no sense to me.

People want to believe, because they're afraid of death.

That's what any religion ultimately boils down too...It's a way of coping with death

As an atheist, I wholeheartedly agree. Having said that, I'm still pretty worried about death, but I just soldier on carring that thought with me. I don't need a spiritual crutch.

As for the belief issue, the only person I believe in is myself.

well.. i cant tell you how.. but it involves

1.) Crazy mental people (Who says that they have seen god but i think its a hillusination (however u spell it)

2.) People who just want to be popular so they just talking about things and people believe them. (one of these examples could be said like them n00bish msgs u get from person to person... by this i mean those ghostly messages that theres this (mostly girls) girl who kills herself and she will haunt u if u dont send the msg to the next 5 people or so)

3.) The followers of (Crazy mental people) such as their friend who looks up to them

4.) People who just believe what other people day.. (Even though they were crazy mental people)

You want scientific evidence? Check this out. (BTW, I'm not one of those Christian Right guys. I believe that Christians should help ppl instead of killing them)

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" Genesis 1:1 (NIV)

Fortunately that is not the case, as anyone who takes the time to view and understand religion will see.

Religion in the ancient world was a method towards coping, acknowledging, and identifying external forces which mankind had no control over. Just as well they provided the function of life, death, and rebirth, metaphorically and symbolically.

Religion during medieval times provided an immersion quite similar but extended itself into a monadic structure that was the primary means for living a moral life and finding attonement at the time of death. Esoteric religions devised methodologies for awakening dormant forces within that usually lead to expansionsof consciousness and understandings of the basic symbology of all religion.

Today religion is a deciding factor in many people's lives and is the means for understanding life, finding meaning, and coming to terms with their spirituality.

Quite accordingly your view of religion means death, when the actual meaning of such an act is finding meaning to life.

Over here, something like 95% of the people I talk to often are Christian. When everyone talks about christianity, it's hardnot to believe, especially if you're young.

EVIDENCE IN PROVING THAT GODSERIOUSLY DOESNT EXIST

Yes of course our bodys organ and digestive systems is an "intelligent design"... But what i believe how us humans can come across this "intelligent design" is through the millions of years of adaptation... back through the age after the dinasaurs extincted.

Another proof that god doesnt exist is... there are various different religions peole from all across the world choose to be..

wether its christian, buddhism, islam, hindu... they are all different. I am buddhism because its not about gods.... (most of the time) its about questioning to the answer of life. Why people die and so on. This could also be the fact to tell us why people invented and yes.. INVENTED religion. Because they have to believe in something to make them feel better when they think about them of the day they die or whentheyre about to die. Because imagine there is no religion yet... you question yourself.. what happens when i... "stop living".. you will ask someone next to u and they will probably go balistic!

Another ovious evidence!

Does god answer to our prayers? Do we get what we ask for when we ask for help to god? It seems that it is a waste of time to question god for answers when u are actually questioning nobody. There has been no proof at allout of millions and billions of people who pray everyday that there has been any answer from god.

The question of God being an invention is a moot point, perhaps an illusionary projection but that is an entirely different subject, for the reason that an invention is tailored to provide one clear function or goal. Any arbitrary functions or effects are usually discarded for the more narrow and clear-cut an invention is the better off it is received The best inventions we dont even realize we use them or consider them inventions because they become tools in everyday life. Cups, glasses, calculators, cars, speakers, and whatever else you can use around you with a singular purpose is an invention.

God is not an invention. God is such an abstract concept that its singular purpose is not evident in anyway shape or form, and if it is an invention it is a very sloppy and poorly thought out invention. This invention is such a mystery that even we dont know how to recreate this invention! So under no pretenses can you call God an invention. Your better off calling him an illusion because that fits him into his supernal aspects. But under no pretenses did we 'invent' God.

there are very evidence to prove that God is exist.

however is any evidence exist to prove that there isnt such a thing as God???

there are many religions like islam,buddah etc. you must read and study and think about it if you really want to know the truth.

books are very useful in this case like quran or Bible (not one of this book, several Volume).

Rene Descartes prove that there is sucha thing as God by mathematic formula.

Yes of course our bodys organ and digestive systems is an "intelligent design"... But what i believe how us humans can come across this "intelligent design" is through the millions of years of adaptation... back through the age after the dinasaurs extincted.

Another proof that god doesnt exist is... there are various different religions peole from all across the world choose to be..

wether its christian, buddhism, islam, hindu... they are all different. I am buddhism because its not about gods.... (most of the time) its about questioning to the answer of life. Why people die and so on. This could also be the fact to tell us why people invented and yes.. INVENTED religion. Because they have to believe in something to make them feel better when they think about them of the day they die or whentheyre about to die. Because imagine there is no religion yet... you question yourself.. what happens when i... "stop living".. you will ask someone next to u and they will probably go balistic!

Another ovious evidence!

Does god answer to our prayers? Do we get what we ask for when we ask for help to god? It seems that it is a waste of time to question god for answers when u are actually questioning nobody. There has been no proof at allout of millions and billions of people who pray everyday that there has been any answer from god.

Hmmm ok... none of your arguements prove that there isnt a god....

a) "adaptation after dinozorrzz!!!" uh... ok, equally, god could have created the dinosaurs and the organisms which developed into us

b) Im not afraid of not existing (dying). I want a purpose in my life, and to have some sense of direction. People today are visited by god, and given direction in their life. They don't invent it. I didn't.

c) Believe me, God answered my prayers in ways which you couldn't imagine. A friend of mine got run over by a truck, and had serious injuries to her head. She had a 3% chance of living. And even if she did live, the doctors said she would be a 'vegetable' (not literally). We had people from all over praying for her deliverance. She stands today, a normal person, no t affected at all by her injury. Incorrect diagnoses? No way. Where is your proof?

There's a lot of evidence it doesn't take a scientist to know this.

Evidence for God is in the eye of the beholder. I believe that this earth, this universe, science, me, you, all of it is proof of God's existance, but then somebody could say "Science explains this too"

However, for a person to believe in God, evidence is not required, only faith. Nowhere in the Bible does it say "Prove to them beyond resonable doubt that I exist." No, to believe does not require reason. A person could believe in the flying spaggetti monster, but with what reason? None. He just has faith. If somebody asks him for proof, he would have to say "There is none."

Is that a reason not to believe? The lack of proof? No. To not believe requires a certain amount of proof to the contrary, or a simple lack of faith in anything outside of our eight senses.

the real question humans should seek to answer: why the hell blind faith is considered a 'virtue'?? turning off your brain and just accepting stuff is a virtue?!?

There isn't any, and that is why I don't believe in a god either. If there is one, then he did not give me enough reason to believe in him. Anyone could start a religion, just as long as you can find people who have faith in your religion.

I think people misinterpret the concept of god. People envision it as a king of the universe, ruling over mankind with his giant beard. I think the concept of god is much more tame. My understanding of god is that it is more or less the energy of the universe, or the universe itself. We are inside the universe! We are completely surrounded by the universe! everything we do and think and say and believe is a product of the the universe! I think god is existence its self, evident by the trees, music, sounds, thoughts, smells, and stars, and by life itself.

no. all we have are books written by people *not god* claiming there is a god. people used to say oooo i just saw god and everyone would cheer! if you tell people that you are seeing things that no1 else can see then you'll get put in a mental home. i believe in god but not religions, there all so far fetched

There is absolutely no solid evidence. I love the optical illusion movie! If you choose to take some advanced Physics classes, then the fact that everything in the universe can be measured and quantified then that presents evidence that the universe was planned. Quantum Physicists love God.

I'm agnostic. Since there is so much that can't be explained in this universe then maybe there is a higher power (maybe not the Christian definition of God though). Then again, everything could have happened by chance.

Christians always say "there must be God because matter can't come out of nowhere". Then I say "Where did God come from then?" Then their head explodes.
