Which describes you?

I am on the fence between believing that god exists, and atheism. It makes logical sense that gods seem unlikely, but sometimes things happen that just seem "guided" by something.

The main thing that leads me to question if god exists at all is the amount of suffering worldwide. I don't think any "god" would ever permit it, and I don't accept the "free will" excuse..

I don't accept the necessary contrast excuse either, where good can only be seen when backed up against evil.

Re: Are you on the fence between believing in God & atheism?
I didn't vote as I don't really fit into any of your categories. Let's see.

I am almost an atheist but am scared to totally reject God
No

I am a full on atheist, and don't care about gods
HaHa, No

I am a full believer in God, and belong to a religion
Slightly true, I do go to a church, but go because of the power of prayer and the brotherhood shared with my community. And yes, I am a believer in a loving benevolent Creator God as All That Is.

I am a believer in God but reject organized religion
I don't reject anyones beliefs as they are true to them. I respect others' spiritual path.

I am a believer in god, but used to be an atheist
Actually, at one time I had no grasp of what God was. This was when I was about 10 years old though, so no.


I believe god is really nature or aliens.
Whuuut?

Re: Are you on the fence between believing in God & atheism?
For ex. Look at the Christian Bible, through studdies, the document is an analogy to every keylontic fact. A failsafe for the greater good.

Since the begining of our time, man has questioned their lineage, their religion, their purpose,


Too long to explain...

Here are where all the answers sit.... (Keylonticdictionary.org)

Ride the waves of truth.


P.S. This science makes me shine more than Christianity, given that the Babylonians tampered with the scripts. (I learned..)


Christians everywhere are starting to accept the extended cut...

Its my broader look to faith, only possible through self enlightenment.

How did you start to believe in a higher power after not being so sure? Usually people believe in god only due to some level of brainwashing from the family they are born into.

At least that's the way I think it works...

 Quoting: EggRoll


I was sure. I was a hard atheist for 18 years, very well defended. I own books by Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris, Dennet, Bertrand Russel, and the list goes on.

I went from KNOWING there was no god - to KNOWING there was a god in one giant fell swoop. I took the philosophical road less traveled. I discovered the singularity in my search to fully understand what had transpired between my now husband and I. It was true love, but I could not reconcile the experience with my hard skepticism because I was able to know something about him, and likewise him me, without words.

This led me to the singularity. My definition of it is thus: all things are true simultaneously in the great now of timelessness, including the contradictions. If all things are true simultaneously, that means there is AND there is not a god at the same time. Because there is a god, in spite of the fact that there isn't a god, that god may create limitations to the universe we reside in, which fully explains why we move linearly through time, and are unable to perform telekinesis. The god that exists in the singularity has the ability to create rules.

And therefore - 18 years of atheism were POOF and gone.

i believe there is a prime creator, and his creations created other creations, which created others, and others and so on for billions and zillions of years, and it just keeps going for eternity. we're here to learn and advance ourselves and one day become god's of our own.
YOU are not your body, YOU are inside of your body. Your body is temporary, but YOU are forever.

 Quoting: EggRoll















You left out: "there are no supernatural gods".

The silly, ignorant story book bible, is just putrid garbage.

Here's proof:

christures claim their dump bible god fugger answers prayers, but here is ABSOLUTE proof, it doesn't.


It has never, ever, healed a single amputee

It has never, ever, healed a single open wound

It has never, ever, healed a single two headed baby

it has never, ever, healed a single visible deformity

It has never, ever, stopped even one singel abortion

it won't come when called.

It has never, ever, appeared for all to see, except as a character in the turdly old bible.

Christurds have been begging it to appear for all to see, for six thousand years.


For SIX THOUSAND years, christurd zombies have been on their knees, begging, pleading, crying, bleating and praying for their sack of brown dump god fugger to appear for all to see, and save their sorry loser asses.

But their dump god fugger is still a no show god fugger.

Obviously, it has ignored all these christurd's mindless, ignorant, begging, braying, bleating and praying.

Because........ It's is still a no show dump god fugger.

It just won't show up.

Christureds can't get their own dump god fugger to appear, reagardless of what they do.

This leaves christurds exactly two choices of belief:


1. Your bible's dump god fugger character doesn't give a rats ass about you stoooooooooopid idiot christurds.


or....


2. Your crapola bible character's god fugger doesn't exist.


Which is it christurds?

ok, im a believer in God as an ultimate power...a force...a energy...something cannot come from nothing.
these are laws of science. energy dosnt dissapate...etc
BUT i do think the bible is a historical book of our history, including the god's who created us and walked with man...side by side.
It was aliens who created us as a species.
this concept answers all the questions people have about historical and biblical mysteries as well as the massive monuments left from pre history.

I'm just about convinced that we were seeded from another planet. by "aliens" or....our ancestors as they would be..perhaps another human planet existed before, destroyed itself, and we are the second chance...maybe that's what the monitoring is all about..to steer us away from our same errors which destroyed one or more human civilizations
