Do you think there is god if nobody told you?

I don't think I would have known a god if not by my parents telling me. If no body told you, you probably would not figure this out yourself. I mean if nobody tells you that there is god your whole life, would you know even god exists?

I am not sure how to answer your question. But without God, then there is no guilt. I believe that God is our guilty conscience living inside each of us.

So would you say that atheist people have no conscience?

No, definitely not. I would never impose my own set of beliefs to others. I have friends who belong to different sectors of religion and I have a brother-in-law who is an atheist. I respect their beliefs in as much as they respect mine and we get along well.
I posted that in accordance to my belief as a theist that's why I said "I believe" in my last sentence. We were talking about learning about the existence of God and I said I don't know how to answer your question. Indeed, I don't.
Talking about atheism is another discussion all together. They have their own set of beliefs that encompasses humanism, naturalism where they get their own norms.
Sorry if I wasn't so clear about my response.

There were times when I was a little child that I would close my eyes for long moments and imagine how expansive the universe is. My imagination would go on and on until I felt I couldn't breathe. The infiniteness overwhelmed my limited knowledge. And I did remember concluding my venture with a belief that no matter how infinite the vast universe is, Someone is still had power over it.
God? Oh yes, I figured Him out by myself.

I like that answer. Our mind wanders off and we meet up with discovery. I had that thought too even when I was already told about god when I was just a few years old.

good question, if you don't know God even exist than you should be an atheist since there is nobody tells you, so nobody cares you believe it or not hence a child would likely will follow what their parents believe than figure it out what suppose they believe in by themselves

I believe in god and therefore I believe that since he exists, he would provide me a way of discovering him. It seems like you resent that your parents forced you into belief or worship and maybe you are thinking you would be better off without having been forced into it. They have helped guide you...God is the one who gave them the strength. Haven't you heard of missionary's...People have been converted after living their whole lives blind to any religion. There are many factors, and think of it this way, You are bound to encounter a situation in life where you are confronted by a religious person.

I don't resent my parents for introducing me to a religion. People assume things when I ask this kinds of questions. People are so judgmental. Just like what people say don't judge a book by its cover.
I said nobody will tell you your whole life so that includes everything you mentioned. I'm asking if you would know god if nobody told you not what or who you will meet and tell you that there is god.
