god created religion for us to follow as a guid in life, but those who don't follow it will go to hell and even those who belive and don't follow it, well it depends might go to hell to.

the basic idea is that life is like a test given to you by god, he gives yo the curiculme, but since the first religions were rewritten by man, and so there were 4 books that god gave us, the first doesn't exist no more.
the second which is jewsh was changed because jewish people were not happy with it, so the changed it

3rd chritianity and where jesus carried the book to people, and people tried to kill him and disbelieving him, but since god wouldn't let a profit of his get killed, he put another man that looks like him but wasn't him, the other meracle was that god isn't his father, it's that his mother gave birth with no firtilization.why do you think there are hundreds of written versions of the bible?
so god swor to protect the last book , which was the quran and carried by mohamed, and that's why there are no more religions after that.

now this is what I believe.


oh, and god created everything as an equation, and those who were fooled by the fact that it's all nature and there is no god, well that's a different part of the test, it's called a trick question. and the devil was once an angle but disobayed god and swor that a third of humanity will belive in the beginning and a third of humanity wil be doomed and disbeliev in god, as in now it's hapenning but then crazy stuff happens that I can't remember.

I'll type it later.

lol, I guess there has to be at least one of these on EVERY website I go to X)

I believe in god, you don't have to, I don't really care ;3

No, god isn't real.

How could you say God doesn't exist, I'm right here.

So, that would mean free will, but not so free will?

You might wanna take some typing lessons or something, because this is hard to read...

O RLY?
There are dozens of religions!
Egyptians believed, in the ancient greek and roman empire they believed, in south-east asia you've got buddhists and Hindu's (Did I spell that right?)!
Nor more religions?
CRAP!

now this is what I believe.
I get that.

there is no proof either way. these claims everyone is making have ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORTING EVIDENCE, which means that none of any of the posts that are and will be in this topic are valid in any way.

Opinions are never invalid.

im going to start by saying my theory is very weird/probably unlikely but it is how things make sense to me/

first: you keep asking "why would he make us this" or "why did he make us do that" i think we've done it ourselves, and he is just watching to see how things play out.

my theory is that every other planet is a "failed attempt" at making a beings live with each other peacefully.

i think of him as a.. lets say a watch maker, he put time sweat and perseverance into a creation, just to see it go off. he may never see it again but it still lives on. keeps ticking. i think maybe he made us, to the best of his ability, and waited to view errors, or problems in ourselves that have made the world a terrible place/ i.e poverty,animal cruelty, etc..

and once he's discovered a mistake hes made he creates something new, a new planet, another attempt at making something truly perfect. much like we do with out flash/pivot/ez toons. we strive to be better, and he does too, to make a better place for his creations to inhabit.

mabye others think the same way i do, maybe not. but thats why i believe to be neutral in this topic, i believe he is there, but i dont think he is perfect, and i dont think he listens to our prayers. but he sits, and watchs, takes notes. moves on.


i believe there is a god for one reason, and one reason only.

think of there never being anything. nothing at all, you cant, because the least you think of is blackness, but it comes from something which comes from something before that and so on. i have no idea why we exist, and for those who think the "big bang theory" what caused the bang? what did that come from? and that had to come from something too.

Great post uncolored.
I might even believe it...

Could explain aliens too.
Other failed attempts :P

heres a good link not to explain, but 2 people (Richard Dawkins and Alister McGrath) debating the existance of god, who are possiby 2 of the best and most intelectual people to debate this. this should provide most of the facts and beliefs needed to form a concrete decision on which side of the debate you believe:

Thanks for the link, jrockpunk1

Why only god? why not zeus?

Ok, good, at least we got that out of the way.

Quote from bleak

i think you'll find that "god" refers to any god/gods in any known religion. i guess this is a debate on religion itself being as the focal point of religion is based upon the omnipotent being of its faith. discussing such a being is basically discussing religion itself.

Quote from bleak

Why only god? why not zeus?

because the greeks religion has evolved to being mythology.

now we're just waiting for christian mythology.

well i thought we were discussing both monotheistic and polytheistic religions. i guess most have the same views at heart anyway, except for the romans and greeks, theyre just crazy.

and as ive been reading the god delusion by richard dawkins, id like to come to one of his points -
there is no evdence in either direction, there is only belief of the existance, and of the non existance of God. the rest boils down to probability. and one of the things McGrath states in that link i gave you is how improbable the human eye is, and surely there has to be a creator. But then Dawkins quite rightly states the even more unproable existance of a highly more complicated being such as a god. just something to think on. and yes, due to that book i am now an agnostic, more inclined to atheism.but somehow there is still some religious part of me inside.
