Do u believe in the existence of god or a superior form of life/energy?

Atheism - It describes the feelings and emotions an atheist feels which compels him into not believing in the concept of God. It's just a simple paragraph of skepticism towards the concept of a higher being doing everything.

OK, this topic must be repeated like a million times, but what i want to know something different. I do not want comments saying preaching how one should or why one should not believe in God. I just want to know why YOU do or do not believe in god and when this change took place. In my own case, I do not believe in God. I am a man of science and i cannot believe in that which i cannot see. It's just my way of thinking please post your views and your thoughts.

I do believe in God and always have. God has done so much for me in my life. I have been hungry and prayed about it and sure enough before the day was over I was provided with the food I needed. I have needed money to pay a bill and didn't know where I would get the money to pay that bill and I would pray about it and sure enough I would receive the money in time to pay the bill. I have always prayed for what I want and need and God seems to always provide me with what I need and want. I can see God in the beauty of the trees, flowers, mountains and all the blessings I have personally received.

Thank you I see Gods beauty everywhere. When I look at my dog I see Gods love for animals. When I wake up in the morning I see beauty in the sun rays that God made. I see beauty all around people just have to open their eyes and see the beauty that God created.

Yes, I believe in god. I believe that the god almight exists who takes care of people, who punishes bad people, and who takes care of poor and needy. God appears in my life in different ways. I believe in god alimight, and the holy trinity including Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. I don't have an existence denying the holy trinity. My husband is not a good believer. His belief slightly affected me, but I am still a good believer. I want to be like that in my whole life.

Hi noguilt, I smiled when I read that you didn't believe in God because you were a man of science. You see I just responded to a discussion about science and religion being compatible. I know that many scientist do believe in God and personally I don't have a problem with it. I believe in God because I have something, I call it a knowing, within me that tells me that there is more to life then what we are experiencing here. I can't prove it to another and feel no need to do so. Blessings.

I know what u mean, i cannot believe in god just because i cannot. I have no real reason, just a feeling of skepticism towards it.

I was raised as a Christian by my parents. I have been taught about God. There were times in life that I was confused whether God really existed or not. But in my case, there were so many incidents that led me to believe that God thus exists. I know that it would be hard to convince everyone and I know that it would be difficult to prove since it is a matter of faith and belief. But for myself and in my heart, I do believed that there is God.

I consider myself as a free-thinking believer. I do believe in God. But I'm not sure if he's really there so I won't insist that he really exist. You know, believing and being sure of something is quite different. I believe because creation makes sense to me. Personally, it's kinda hard for me to believe that the universe, our planet, and life itself was just brought by random events that happened in space. But of course, I'm not one who will discredit science in favor of my faith. I love science (it's always been my favorite subject in school) and I also think that any theories can be possible. I'm open to anything.

I'm a buddhist and I truely believe in the supernatural as I've encounter some in the past but I wouldn't like everyone to believe me. As I've actually seen and talked to them and they've actually touched me and stopped me from screaming... I just know that I truely believe there are real but they come to you for a reason, they didn't harm me but we could not understand each other. The next day I put a Buddha in my room and he was gone. I truely believe the supernatural and I will trust others that have met them.

Yes I firmly do because there are many times in my life when I feel like I can sense higher powers around me or that my consciousness is feeling higher then it normally is. I feel like there are strong energies and balls of consciousness and other cosmic things such as that out there.

I do believe in God, I believe because I am convinced. Every prayer answered. I've survived instances where I shouldn't have survived. I've found myself in certain places where I felt an evil vibe and had to leave promptly and found out that that same place that scared me is a home of very sick people. However way I look at it, evolution, big bang, whose to say God couldn't have done that. We weren't there. I also believe that I was raised to believe in God. Not everyone was. I've found God to be much more friendly and approachable than the ones religious folks have portrayed. (I find a rather merciful God when I read the Bible in its proper context) Bot only do I believe in God, I go to him as a mentor, father, and friend.

It is an absolute truth that only that which equates ( = ) is true, that each approximation is founded upon a minimum of one untruth, and that, as such, each approximation is, technically, untrue. It is, also, an absolute truth ( = ) that, regardless of it's complexity, there is only one (1) original source of all of life, itself, and, therefore, of all of conscious life, itself, and, therefore, of consciousness, itself, and, given that the original source of all of consciousness, itself, cannot be unconscious and that consciousness, itself, cannot be inferior to itself, the original source of conscious life is, therefore, conscious ...whom most people call GOD.

I believe in God an I believe in things I haven't seen, because they were introduced to me, like dream walking, I have done that a few times not trying at all, so I know it is something unexplained by science, that exists.
