Why don't you believe in god?

[QUOTE="mindstorm"] As far as your second statement, are you trying to argue that there is purpose and design in the universe without a "purposer" or designer?bloodling

Absolutely. I know, it sounds a lot like a god, but I dont see it as a god.

This is an apparent purpose, we had to be there, but some god didn't choose to put us here.

I don't believe in God because ... wait a second, I do! But I believe in God due to many reasons, not simply one simple argument that explains it all. If I were to explain why I believed in God then I'd end up writing a wall of text that would create the biggest war in OT history. mindstorm

fixed :P

I believe in God! I mean, if when we die we don't go anywhere then life itself is pointless and that is why so many people are depressed in our world! God is real, have you seen all the miracles he has done! He created this amazing earth, all the people, even the smallest creatures, he created! Do you believe in that science crap that we are just creatures made out of chance and have no one who is always watching over us and protecting us? That is just sad if we didn't...

edit - No offense to you and your belief's even though I know I came off as pretty offensive likely. You are allowed to believe in whatever you want of course. Just saying this argument always gives me a headache.

Because he's "outside of time" and "works in mysterious ways".:roll:

[QUOTE="mindstorm"] So is this true purpose within the creation or are you arguing this is only an apparent purpose within the creation?mindstorm

This is an apparent purpose, we had to be there, but some god didn't choose to put us here.

The only reason I have for now is because there just can't be nothing, there had to be something. The whole universe could not simply not exist in my opinion. I believe life and conscience is part of whatever created the universe.

As for us being on the earth, I think it's just a coincidence. I believe there are other planets and an infinite number of universes, and I believe that once you die, you might end up on another planet.

And lolz at your sig :lol:

While I don't agree with your ultimate conclusion and believe your own evidence actually points towards a Creator-God, I do agree that the question "What if nothing existed at all?" is an interesting one to ponder. :Pmindstorm

I agree there could be a god but bottom line I don't believe in heaven and hell and religion in general so I don't think it matters all that much if there's a god or not. Plus, I just don't believe it.

You can't really have a reason for having a lack of a belief other than you have seen no reasons for the belief in question.

I do believe in God.:DKidCudi37

I don't believe in God because he has not been conclusively proven. A belief in God could not even reach a certainty level of becoming a scientific theory. Does this mean there is definitely no such thing as God? Of course not. However I do not believe in flying spaghetti monsters either. They could exist but I chose not to believe in them because there is no conclusive proof, much the same as some devine being that lives outside space-time that has infinite power.

Nothing has given me reason to yet.Aspen706

I only knew one god in my lifetime... High Ground. Anyone who was spotted by god's scope was no longer fit to survive.

because there is no way a human could know anything about him if he WAS in fact real. so all the stuff people say about him can't be true because noone has ever seen or met him EVER.

He is not real, thats why. He is something made up by the human race to comfort themselves so that they think there is something after death. Its a survival instinct.

Prayer is like a slot machine

Sometimes you get answered.

Sometimes not

A combination of the problem of evil and finding God to be an unnecessary complication in explaining the natural world.xaos

I do believe in a God.

May not be the same as what you believe God is, but faith is faith no matter what.

[QUOTE="Genetic_Code"]Xaos read my mind and posted what I was going to say. Hail Satan.KorthosFoX

I've found nothing in life to support the existence of god - or at least the god described in various religions and texts. My mind is very analytical and I can not accept the existence of an all powerful being with no concrete proof.

Have you seen the crazies that run the church?

That's my reason.

[QUOTE="Genetic_Code"]Xaos read my mind and posted what I was going to say. Hail Satan.KorthosFoX

Because God isn't real, and I've never been given evidence or proof he/she is real.

Yes, i wouldnt trust those crazies, and they are the ones saying he is real.

Because church is boring and depressing. Talking about death for hours every Sunday morning ain't my idea of a good time.

High ground is high ground. when you're on high ground you're looking downon your targets so you get a better view than you would if you were on even ground. So the best marksman usually take high ground. God is a call sign used to designate a lead flight commander, a commander ofhigh ground units OR more commonly the best sniper. They are the observers, the dictators. They are the gods of the battlefield.

[QUOTE="testfactor888"][QUOTE="Hammstray"] We all have proof that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny don't exist But we don't have proof that God doesn't exist and how do you think the universe was made, the big bang?
