Is there a God?

[gsmax5]

If you chose "other", please explain your beliefs here:

 

[Nack]

Based on experience and many other horrible things that happened to me and good people out there, i had concluded that god does not exist.

 

[zlench]

There are to many facts to prove that no GOD has ever exsisted just a bunch of myths so people can get rich.

 

[illuminationSP]

Since you're asking... NO. There is no god. And Einstein called religion "childish"... I surely agree with him.

This should make for a hot topic.

 

[Remus]

Lets keep it respectful though

moved to off topic

 

[anxiousguy83]

I was previously an atheist, and have later come to the conclusion there is a God! The experience with believing can't be explained otherwise.

Dear God,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God,
I can't believe in you.
Dear God,
sorry to disturb you,
but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
'Cause they can't make opinions meet,
About God,
I can't believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain't and so do you,
Dear God,
I can't believe in,
I don't believe in,
I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No Devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Is just somebody's unholy hoax,
And if you're up there you'll perceive,
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in...
It's you,
Dear God.

You are so wrong it's laughable - There are many Gods, and they look like this!

Grovel you fools!

No one can definitively say that there is a god or that there isn't one. Although I can't say for sure, I have a pretty good hunch that HE (because the most powerful being in the universe has to be a man according to all religious texts) doesn't exist.

The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with the nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen it to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best-selling book Well That About Wraps It Up For God.
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.

yes he lives in my sock drawer

If God created man in his own image -- then God would have had to be created in someone else's image, and then that someone would have to be created as well. The theory of God is a paradox, which makes it flawed.

That's why scientists will never win . They can never understand the universe completely. There is so much that can't be explained.

True, but they understand it more than religious folk. Moreover, just because things can't be explained, doesn't mean it has a divine hand in it. It's just the next hurdle that scientists must cross, while religious people just sit back and believe whatever.

Aye... I too believe in those devine spirits....

Stole the words from my mouth.

'Anxiousguy83' claims there is so much that can't be explained, yet he is certain there is a god.

two words, chaos theory

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE WEATHER PERSON IS ALWAYS WRONG.

Because science is not perfect - and one would have to be God to be spot on. If you drop a stone into a pond, you'll know it'll create ripples, but you'll not know how many, or how far they'll spread. You're just not seeing the small factors the human mind cannot process.

The whole universe is in symmetry of chaos – to the conscious mind, the pattern is beautiful, and to the unconscious mind, it is nothing but the roll of dice; like a big number cruncher made of infinity.
