Was wondering how many people believe in God here, but more importantly why? |

No - At least, not as it is understood. The truth is that none of us were here at the creation of the universe, and that was before we had recording technology; so we can't be sure. Yet. The only way to know for sure would be to send a camera out to the edge of the universe, where light from the big bang hasn't reached yet, and point that camera back at the origin point. Unfortunately, it would have to travel at many times the speed of light to get there and send back its results before the human race becomes extinct. I don't believe in God because:
Personally, I believe the storyline explained in God's Debris; though I don't form a religion around it. I just think that every object has a minute gravity field and is therefore attracted in a miniscule capacity to every other object in the universe. Therefore, given infinite time, all objects will move toward each other toward a common center. Eventually they collide and form asteroid and debris fields. Later, they run out of kinetic energy and finally arrive at the same place and stop moving around so much. The supermassive gravity of all mass in the universe causes the "stuff" to become so supermassive and dense that it goes ultra-uber-super-nova. And then we get a Big Bang. But every object in the universe has some gravity, so it just loops and loops and loops. It's a pattern. It's happened for all time, and it will continue to happen for all time. Time is infinite. Time is timeless. Time reaches to infinity and back again. But most people can't understand infinity, much less infinite time. Think about that. Read the book. It makes sense. As far as God is concerned, gods were invented to explain that which we could not explain, and to blame for that which we did not want to be accountable. From there, the story has merely evolved along thousands of different paths; thus today's thousands of different religions. The ones that have the best story, the ones that make peoples' lives better, are the ones that have succeeded the most. Oops. Duplicate question deserves a duplicate answer :) I agree. Also re-posted. It's not my business, but maybe you should keep it shorter. Like mine, a bit earlier. Shortening my answer would inevitably cause content loss. If I don't fully explain my position, how can I justify arguing against religion? Especially when religion has such ample and plentiful argument on its side? :) You don't need and shouldn't make it too complex because religious people might not understand, and even if they do, they won't care. 1
Well I could just say "I don't believe in God because it doesn't make sense to", but that doesn't sound like I put much thought into it, and therefore is a weak position. This way I have backing. Good point, but I'm afraid not much people will read it.

As a Christan, yes, yes i do. I believe in God, and Jesus as my savior, and i will continue to follow the path he has set for me. |

Yes, i do believe in god. I am a Latter Day Saint, or mormon as some people know us by. I heard you guys have a pretty wild story, but it's no match for Scientology's. Waitaminute, does that mean that joining the mormon church grants automatic Sainthood, or is the religion just poorly named? No. The full name of my church is "The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints" You call it "a church". Does that mean Mormons are a kind of Christians? Someone once told me they're a different religion, but I was not convinced. Religion or doctrine? We do believe in Jesus Christ. So we are Christians. There is a common mis-conception that we are a "cult" which we are not. The only difference between a religion and a cult is the amount of followers, so you're not a cult. 1
All religions are cults. Some are just popular enough that it gets overlooked.

I am Christian and actually Christianity isn't a religion but a relationship with Jesus Christ. Grated it is a religion but more importantly about your relationship. Anyone who doesn't believe in god just doesn't but they will do them and whatever they believe in because I could give two in the bush, if that makes any sense...... |

I hope I dont get flamed for talking about... ALIENS!!! This Godly being your talking about, decending from the sky, coming out of the clouds. Aliens. There is no god. I am an atheist first of all. Then when or IF the aliens come and tell us the truth. I shall laugh at you all. |

I believe in God, but here's my theory. Whether or not you believe in God our society bases everything on reference points and without understand our past (right or wrong) we cannot more forward. |
