Does God Exist??

[KeithD]

That'll be the 'Irisih Bible' written by little green men who live under bridges

[walesrob]

So how does a non-believer react when their aeroplane crashes? Do they pray to God then? Its so convenient to call up God when it suits us isn't it?

[KeithD]

...and you've questioned all these people before they hit the ground to discover exactly what they were thinking, or are you going by Hollywood?

I will not stay still and pray for salvation that is for sure!

That's humor!!!

If you are a believer, there is no IF'S, NO BUT's, NO PERHAPS, No Doubts in God.
There are also UNBELIEVERS who don't believe God exist but when they have big problems, they are learning to call God! Are you one of them?

[jeffro]

Can I just put my 2 penny worth in here?

I have faith - like to call myself a Christian - although I'm probably not a good one.
However, the reason that I have faith is not because I believe there is literally a man in the sky - it's because I believe that he (somehow) had a son who told everybody to be nice to each other. Wouldn't the world be a WONDERFUL place is everybody were nice to each other? I think that Jesus really had his head screwed on.
I have had the good feeling that I call 'my faith' ever since I joined this site a few days ago. People on here are so kind and thoughtful - I like to think that this is because of God's message through his son.

Hope I've not been too 'heavy' on the old religion kick.

Alan

yes it truly would be a wonderful place if we were all nice to each other,and its a pity theres not more think and act the way you do,kep our faith!!!!

My faith lies in HUMAN CAPACITY, LOVE and DOING GOOD THINGS to others.

I am not a BELIEVER, and when I have big problems, I don't call GOD to resolve it for me. I believe in doing good to others to give love and respect I think this is the only doctrine that might save MAN to it's downfall.
I feel for those people who commit crime, for those children who suffer from abuses, those that dies of hunger, those who got less in life, those who are victims of war, the sick people, the old ones that dying slowly and lonely, those who are being neglected of what you call GODs blessings. Why so much hate? why so much killing? why so much "evil" all over the world? I don't blame GOD for what had happened and for what is happening all over the world, what we witnessed and what we are NOW witnessing is all MANs artefice. Our History is there to tell us.
What I fear? I fear of MANs capacity to devastate, to hate, to ruin, to annihilate, to do unimaginable things of destruction.
What I want and what are my creed? Eradicate ignorance and hope that man can open his eyes, that our salvation is in our hands to save human race from it's own destruction.
Where do God fits in all of this? You will tell me that everything that happened and is and will happen is already predicted in the BIBLE? That his teaching is so sacred that I am not allowed to question it? That I have to be obedient to his law so I will have my soul saved from the fire of hell? Who wrote the BIBLE? Who wrote the TEN COMMANDMENTS? Who crucified Jesus Christ? No, don't answer me... you are entitled to live your belief for that is your right as a human being, I don't force my belief to anyone, I refuse to let myself to believe in false beliefs and live my life in blind faith.

I am a Christian because it is a FAMILY tradition but I do not count myself as one. I have been raised up in an old traditional ROMAN CATHOLIC church (Family Genealogy Manila 1814). I had my first encounter with religion reading Old Testament and New at the age of 6. I have not changed my religion views just because of mere fanatic fantasy and to gain praises. I have seen poverty, I have seen richness, I witnessed hate and destruction. I want to live a life full of awareness and consciousness and there is only space for love and respect to one another in my heart.

The bible has been written and edited so many times through history,what is the truth???,i dont know,its my faith i believe in God..Did jesus exist,was he real?? Of course he was,theres enough proof,or do we just deny it,because we may as well deny that dinosaurs existed too if we deny Jesus.You have great compassion and morals,and if more had the same then the world would be a far more beautiful place.But i feel without faith my life is empty.It may sound strange to some,but i have had my prayers answered many many times. I believe that everyone whos loved ones are sick or dying and God forbid thier child,prays to God help me ,help my loved one..Sadly this prayer isnt answered many times,we and they die.But my faith gives me hope that perhaps someday i will be with those i loved and cherished so much again for eternity.And i get comfort in my faith believing in Jesus and in God,so ill wish you Godbless!!!

There is more proof of dinosaurs than Jesus, and yet 42% of Americans believe in the latter, but not the former

maybe a liberal faith is the way to go

Yes Jesus exist as well his teaching. None of us have denied it here so far as I am aware. It might also sound strange to some but I feel emptiness in my life when I witnessed children being abused and left abandoned to their own destiny...I feel emptiness seeing old sick lonely people..I feel emptiness seeing people dying victims of war or whatever...I feel emptiness in my life when I witness all these things. Seeing children not only on my own land begging on the street for a piece of bread, seeing family living in a carbon house, sick poor disabled people who suffer silently because nothing they can do to change their destiny who will ever hear their voice?...What are my sufferings compares to them? What good I did to merit me all this blessings and them not? My own little world doesn't allow me much to make a remarkable changes for it...I would...if only I have the power to ease pain, poverty and sufferings for those who have less blessings than I. I don't know what it would be mean for me to live in a paradise to endure never ending happiness in after life?... leaving this life with all those suffering people that will be left behind after I am gone...I will be happy? Does my happiness lies only for those person I love? I love human race and I would do what I am allowed to contribute with my short life.


Anyway, enough of sad things... I think I have already emptied myself of what my beliefs are.

Tom, you did not mention anything about being god Is Marivic Catholic?

My husband and I did not get married in church, because in order to get married in church in the Philippines at that time, I had to put him through the long process wherein we can be married in a catholic church, and I am not that devout catholic to put him through that I'm afraid.

I respect people whatever their belief.

But if I read God backwards then yeah it does exist.
