If you found out that god did not exist, would this not crush your hopes and ideals, and presumptions of life? You're not and it would devastate many, many people. But, if I found out "god" did in fact exist, would I really want any part of that jealous, immature fuck's "kingdom"? God, to me, sounds like nothing more than a petulant child who throws a tantrum we "he" doesn't get "his" way. |

God, to me, sounds like nothing more than a petulant child who throws a tantrum we "he" doesn't get "his" way. I agree. If nothing comes into existence on its own, and everything must have a creator, and we as humans had a creator, it is thus implied that the creator has some affinity to his creation. Now if that is true, which holds for pretty much everything, even then if we were made out of necessity, and not emotional feelings, it still implies a tieing between creator and creation. Given this, where is "god"? Good or bad, should not god have some visible hand that all can recognize him with, with no room for error or doubt? |

It is easy to tell when you question them about it and they get angry. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36115976 Believing in a creator has nothing to do with fear. And it is not based on proof, but hope. ...but hope is a "belief" system not founded by solid, concrete proof... |

Either way, I'm not bootsucking out of fear, I simply will live my life to the best that I can do. I have no affirmations or hopes of an afterlife, if it happens, then I guess I will be pleasantly surprised... |

If they believed in a "fake god" then they're wrong; nothing to win, nothing to lose. That's the observation I have. So all is fine. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7570540 United States 03/14/2013 02:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was a daring child of eight, I was on a high ocean peer, swinging around a post which I thought was tied up. It wasn't and I went flying into the water. Turns out I landed smack dab between two large boats which were tied up together - I could easily have been killed. It was a fortunate coincidence? When I was a child of ten, I was sitting in the backseat driver's side of our car as my older sister was learning to drive - my father sat beside her in the front. I was looking down, preoccupied with some candy I bought and a voice told me to move my arm which was resting on the armrest. I did - just as a car sideswiped us as my sister was turning left. We ended up in the ditch. When I looked down to my left, my car door (where my arm had been resting) was accordioned. I looked at my arm - the hair had been shaved. Very strange and very fortunate. When I was 16, I was driving my grandmother's worn out old car to a friend's house to spend the night. It was a dark winter night - my car hit a clump of frozen gravel and I lost control. I was not wearing a seatbelt. My car went into the ditch and then the next thing I know it was back on the road and stopped. I looked over to the ditch and saw I had just missed a large culvert. I have no idea how that car got back onto the road - I certainly didn't drive it there as I had absolutely no control over that car. Late one night when I was 36, my husband and I were driving home from the symphony orchestra and all of the sudden he stomped on the breaks just as hard as he could. The car spun and screeched across the highway lanes before coming to a stop - just as a car sped through the intersection from the right, not bothering to stop at their red light. I asked my husband how he knew the car was coming because I didn't see him. He said he didn't see him either but a voice told him to stop the car (I didn't hear the voice)! We would likely have been killed if he hadn't listened to that voice. There have been a few other instances. But, my point is that nobody will ever get me to believe there isn't a God. |

Thank God =) ...such ideals are so 12th century... Religion and the idea of GOD were all constructs of HUMANS and the govt's that existed at the time to CONTROL their fellow HUMANS!!!! Religion for control yes, idea of God created to do the same, no. Believing in God has absolutely nothing to do with religion, organized or otherwise. What is up with people thinking that if you believe in God you must also believe in religion and its dogma. Religion was created by man, originally to show you a pathway (not the pathway) to God and provide a moral compass. It was taken over very quickly by men that knew they could use it to their advantage to control ignorant masses, and because of that you are lost and have no idea what to believe. So you choose to believe in nothing. Belief in God has existed for as long as humans have existed;long before any religion, government or written language was created. Over the ages we have learned more and are now able to understand "how" certain things happen or came to be, but we still have no real idea "why." On another note, if I found out God doesn't exist, I would be disappointed, but my entire life would not fall apart. I would simply continue on until my end came and then I would be worm food. There's nothing I would be able to do that would change that, so it wouldn't make any sense to stress about it. I like believing there is a God, it helps me get through this life knowing there is something bigger than me out there. Fake or not, belief in God/Supreme Being has helped far more than it has hurt. Yes, I know of all the bloodshed religion has caused and that is not what I am referring to... |
