Default God

A new religion thread. Might as well break it in, and get to the point.

Does God (or a 'Higher Being') exist? I know religious people will say, 'Read the Bible and shut up,' and atheists will say 'There is no God, you're stupid,' etc etc. But this can make it more interesting... Provide some evidence to back up your claims.

And also, if He does exist, where did He come from? I know, in the Bible, it says He is not tied to time, and therefore has no beginning (and, therefore, no end.) However, this goes against our deepest understanding of our world, that everything (and I mean everything) both has a beginning and an end. What could have created God (or a Higher Being)? Possibly some weird random energy something or other in the early universe? Or maybe another higher creator? I doubt any of those, but, hey, you never know... Thinking about this hurts my head. As to my first question, I say yes. Although I have no evidence apart from something I find it impossible to explain. Oh well.

This is one of those things that you just can't prove either way. Try as you might...it's impossible. Our stupid little human minds can't even begin to fathom God, never mind understand all his ways, and trying to understand him having no beginning or end...lol, good luck.


It's all faith. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien "Faith - is daring the mind to go beyond what the eyes refuse to see."

This is my indictment of your beliefs
This is my indictment of what you hold dear

My eyes have seen the horrors that you
Commit in the name of your god
Your god is violence your god is unholy

I think God didn't come from anywhere he was just there. In the beginning, I think this may be because I am a Christian

He created time, He is not bound by time, therefore He has always been and always shall be there. I agree with Sporky, God is way too complicated for our little minds to comprehend. I don't know why He created us, I'm just grateful that He did!

Although, of course, if you were dead, you'd be dead, and wouldn't really know everything.

That reminds me of the South Park with the devil, where everyone in hell is grouped around, and the introduction guy was like "And the correct religion is... Mormon! Yes, Mormon. Thanks for playing..."

In my opinion God (and a Godess for that matter) does exist.

This can be seen in the sheer complexity of everything around us. Try as we might we have not developed any nanotechnology on as small a scale as the technology contained within every living thing.

Anyone who says science has proved the Deities do not exist is in my opinion wrong. The Deities and science are not mutually exclusive, the Deities work THROUGH science, they provided the unique conditions in which life could happen, the big bang could happen, evolution could happen. The deities are more subtle than to come down in a flash of light and make the world etc.

"Man may have been made in God's image, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home."-Stephen King-'The Stand'

Default Re: God

God does not exist. I do not need scientific proof to prove my point at all. God and religion were created to answer the unknowns of the world. Many ancient societies had polytheistic anthropomorphic deities for every single facet of human life. There would be a 'god of thunder', a 'god of agriculture', etc. Each of which would be blamed whenever something bad happened, which would then reflect upon the society as immature in that it cannot realise its own faults. Monotheism placed the blamed more on people, but still with a god who punished those who he deemed unfit. God is still looked upon to explain the many mysteries of the univers, including its creation. We can discuss creationalism and evolutionalism sometime else, but its still important here. I have no need for religion or god, it is all simply a fictious character to the mind to answer one's problems. I have questions, but look not to 'god' for answer, I try to answer the question myself. That is somewhat the meaning of life, to ask questions, not finding the answers. In conclusion, there is no god, but thats my opinion and you're welcome to think otherwise.
