Do you believe in god?

enough said

It's impossible at the moment to prove or disprove the existance of a Deity or what form he, she, it or they might take.

Yes I believe in God. God has done so many amazing things in my life. I praise God with all my heart and soul.

like what?

Anything that comes my way, anything that tempts me, any tragedy that befalls me—I am capable of overcoming it and achieving spiritual victory. That does not mean it will always be easy. Quite the contrary—the fact that I may need a “way of escape” indicates that God sometimes allows difficult trials to come into my life. I may not believe that I can overcome it, I may doubt my own strength to prevail, and I may even fail in the temptation. That does not mean, though, that I am not capable of overcoming that particular temptation. Whether it is a temptation to sin or a temptation to doubt God, God promises that we will be able to overcome it. I turn over all my worries to God!

I won't pretend to know. There are more possibilties than we can imagine. I doubt Mankind may ever find the answer to that question, and eventually may become forgotten altogether as absurd the further we advance into the Universe.

No.

Yes I do. No one can tell me He doesn't exist.

I don't know about with a small g but with a capital G, yes I do.

Of course..how can you not when you see the everyday beauty of nature.

There is no empirical evidence to support the existence of a deity.

That's why they call it faith. He made it like that to weed out Philistines like you.

then stop calling it a fact.

No

you take something on faith yet consider it a fact? that's contradictory.

Thank you Radical Ed!

Lawmaker To Catholic Church: Prove Your Claims Gay People Die Early

They keep using those same old tired, out of date, inaccuate, and discredited "studies" from people like Paul Cameron. The same old "research" gets re-packaged and published by someone every few years. I got into this with a certain SH, you know her well, when she provided a link to a Catholic web site that had one of these "scientific studies". There were passages lifted, literally word for word, directly from Cameron's "study" in the 1970's. Idiots, all of them.

How could you tell he was from Gaza?

You must have much faith even when faced with the fact that Your religion was copied from almost every major one that predates it, which were metaphors for the sun and stars. Almost every disciple was copied from pagan gods, fifty virgin birth stories, summer solstice and the ressurection of Christ, the list goes on and on and on and on.

And you must not have much faith in your own beliefs, whatever they are, if you need to tear down mine. Bye Bye!

you seem to be tearing down others views on this thread as well. do not use a double standard.

Nice block kirchen, Just do a little research into the history of your religion before you so blindly follow it.

Blocking. aka shut up shut up shut up la la la la la la la la

At the very least, you acknowledge that there is no empirical evidence to support your belief. Since your belief is based solely upon faith, then it is no different than any other unsupported system of belief. One could equate your belief in a deity with another person’s belief in unicorns.

In no sense of the word am I a Philistine.

Name calling does nothing to advance your unsupported claim.

I am not a philistine.

First, I am not descended from the Indo-European people who appeared in the southern coastal area of Canaan at the beginning of the Iron Age.

Secondly, I place great value on art, beauty and intellect. I even place great value in spirituality.

Secular spirituality emphasizes humanistic ideas on qualities such as love, compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, responsibility, harmony, and a concern for others, aspects of life and human experience which go beyond a purely materialist view of the world, without necessarily accepting belief in a supernatural reality or divine being.

I do not. But I cannot 100% prove it, not can anyone else. Neither can anyone who says there is one.

I would never believe in something that has no evidence to back it up....
Religion is used to control people & scare them...Im glad i live my life the way i want,i would never live by some book or church....

You must live a horrible life; secular beliefs and used to control and scare people more than religion is. The doctrine of Global Warming is a great example.

No other answer! Look around.

Hence, Agnostic Jew.

Never Have.I'm Not An "Atheist" I Just Believe In The choices You Make Govern The Things That Happen.

I am an agnostic who believes that we are on a "predestined" path. It's not predestined by anyone - but predestined, period. I love to present a dichotomy. ; )

I reached the same conclusion based on Chaos Theory, Mandel Brot patterns, and the initial conditions of the Universe, in conjunction with apparent unchanging laws of physics.

It is what it is. If we can save them, then we will. Just because we may not succeed in saving everyone, does not mean we do not try. However, if you believe in free will, good luck with that.

(Oh, and if you believe we all have free will, then those who are starving have the same, right?)

Then why do you not call yourself an atheist?
